    ....don't say "don't plant bamboo", or generalise about any plant family.  It makes no more sense than saying "don't plant conifers" because leylandii are a pain if planted in the wrong place.

    Don't plant anything in a pot or container that you wouldn't be happy to smash when you need to get it out.

    Don't forget to check if next doors cat has cra##ed in your border again before using your hands to plant....🤮

    Don't leave your favoured gardening gloves drying out in the sun, because the next morning one will turn up a foot down in next door's raised bed, and the other will have disappeared into the ewigkeit. 🤬

    Don't be a lazy skinflint and leave last year's tulips untouched in their pot by the front door thinking they will still put on a nice show. No they don't.

    Don’t fool yourself that next doors cat will actually want to live next door.....it knows I’m a much better cat mum!
    Marne la vallée, basically just outside Paris 🇫🇷, but definitely Scottish at heart.

    Not just foxes.
    My old gander found one of my gloves that I forgot to bring in, ran off with it and drowned it in the pond!

    Don't underestimate the amount of soil it takes to fill a pond.   :/  My (inherited with the house) one is half-full now, but according to 'soil estimating tools'  I still need about 6-7 tonnes of soil! D'oh!

    (Pond is 5m x 3m and currently about 350mm deep)
    Growing old is mandatory but growing up is optional.
