Well hello there gardenerowasco! How exciting things are seeding in mind and actuality.. the garden begins. To kill a tree may be to kill a man, but sometimes a tree must go to give way to other plants! Like the big beautiful gum that self seeded outside the bathroom... It's lovely, but threatens to unmoor the house. It'll go and make way for other plants. So I guess you must think where priorities are. Growing food seems a must for these times more than ever!
I used to like being ruthless in my garden, ripping up anything that did not please me in some way. I can't do it anymore! I might have to hire someone else to be ruthless, while I'm away.
