I have no wish to control my garden to the degree where it might be considered 'excellent'.
I am more of a referee in my garden. I introduce plants in the hopes that we will both be happy. If the plant is unhappy,it dies. If I am unhappy, I neglect it or remove it.
I am proud to say that the intellectual gardener would find little to delight them in my garden.
I would also say that for all of the discoveries made by methodical research, there are many made by messy accidents e.g. penicillin.
I can think of somewhere more useful to use it too hogweed....
There seems to be a lot of wums on the forum recently, or is that my imagination?
No doubt this little chap who was strolling across my 'lawn' on Saturday would have been squashed or sucked up by a hoover too
Brilliantly camouflaged on the gravel, but you'd have been proud of me, nut - I lifted him off the grass and moved him into the plants so that I wouldn't step on him by accident
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

Very similar to mine nut but I have less clover and more creeping buttercups. What are the little purple jobs? I have loads of those.

Your lawn is a beautiful example of well-considered decision-making Nut
