Now look what you've done!
I have an area that can vaguely be described as a garden.
I have a wife who is looking for a more definite description along conventional lines.
You have now placed before me a constant reminder that I shouldn't be here hitting keys but beating for tiger in what I can no longer call a lawn.
I should also be felling the tops out of what used to be a hedge but is now a linear rain forest. I am also an expert on triffid culture.
However, I maintain a very low carbon footprint in my garden - rarely resorting to mower or strimmer. An occasional sortie with a chain saw when the weeds get big suffices.
And - I DO have a near perfect natural habitat - a tiny part of natural Shropshire.
So
While you lot wax lyrical about your crops and manicured pleasaunces, I shall brag about the height of my nettles and let you know what would have been living in your garden if you'd left an eight foot understory intact. I may have the only example in the UK of an Un-pleasaunce!
In fact I quite like the idea of being a wildlife correspondent!
Perhaps you are forgiven Rhiannon.
