Gardening

An interesting concept is gardening. You pull out the pretty little flowers because they have been designated as weeds. But you leave in the ugly monstrosities that are apparently ‘meant’ to be there. Those are generally the really spiky plants that really hurt if you sit on them.

My brother decided the best way to cope was to pull out everything, examine the roots, and then put the important looking ones back in the ground.

I went for the talking to the plants option. If they didn’t answer they must be bad. However, as Alan pointed out I was even less likely to get a response from a dead plant from a live one..

So despite my efforts, the Grandparents’ back garden does look a lot better.
