Things I have learned about gardening.
Whilst spending most of the weekend tidying up the garden I mused over the
many things I have learned during the seven years we have owned this place.
Weeds are easier to pull up if left to grow a bit.
A hoe merely spreads the little ones around.
Ground elder should be accepted in some areas as effective ground cover.
Weed killer doesn't.
It never rains within 3 days of spreading lawn weed and feed.
Its easy to take cuttings from shrubs I don't need more of.
Don't plant daffodils in the grass as they are a pain to mow around.
Frost only kills the most expensive plants.
Its not possible to dig out all of a dandelion root.
Yew berries are a PITA.
A big bonfire site is essential.
