what are your garden pet hates?
 

I hate lawns. Huge expanses of nothingness however well cared for they are.
I also hate neatly cut edges and borders with alternating blue and white
lobelia and red salvias.

Hmmm, this isn't working very well is it? I didn't really mean what garden
pests don't you like as nobody likes garden pests. I *meant* what garden
features or plant do you dislike. You know how you drive past a garden and
think, oh that's just *awful* to look at. or bloody hell how naff, or My god
are they *colour blind*!

OK, how about 40ft. monkey puzzle trees growing smack in front of a
window?

Brightly coloured perennials and annuals set out in ranks against a
background of bare soil.

I don't think I think 'how awful' or 'naff' or 'are they colour blind' -
it's just that that style of gardening leaves me cold.

Yes! Especially red/blue/yellow combinations!

I also really don't like variegated leaved plants, especially variegated
with yellow or bright green, with cerise or purple or pink flowers - or
almost with any flowers except white ones.

Spotted laurel

Any shrubby Potentilla, any Hypericum apart from 'Rowallane', shrubby
Cotoneasters (esp. and including horizontalis and the myriad,
desperately dull forms of microphyllus), hybrid tea roses and Salix
caprea 'Pendula' (Kilmarnock willow). Oh and I forgot, add to this,
large exhibition type Dahlias & Chrysanths and the big flowered (Edna
Everage type!) gladioli.

I have taken up all my lawns as I no longer see the point of growing work.

I have an intense antipathy to ivy, but am winning on that front at the
moment, and bindweed comes a close second.

OK. "A few gnomes."

One gnome - good (it's ironic, damnit).
A few gnomes - naff as can be, what can they be thinking of?
A garden full of gnomes - the owner is plainly a fine example of an English
eccentric who should be respected as such.
