My garden was just grass, with grape hyacinths and Spanish bluebells when I moved in. I've removed most (but not all) of these. the 'centre point' of the front garden was, under a window, a clematis growing through a bramble - that had been trimmed to look like a bush! |

I'm with you there Sylvia - I do NOT want bindweed or brambles because they suffocate gardens. Aquilegia I can tolerate but it is pretty invasive. I'm just starting to pull out forget-me-nots as they're now going to seed and were 'everywhere' but they have a special meaning for me. I'll reclaim their tenure on my veg bed :-D |

I could contribute plenty of 3 cornered leeks.... very invasive, but the bees love them! |

I was once told that a weed is a plant that is growing where YOU do not want it to grow. |

Weeds or wildflowers? fine line I know but for example Japanese knot-weed is a weed, Herb Robert ( I have loads of this and Green Alkanet and Wood Avens etc) are 'wild flowers'. My garden's what most people would call wild lol but it is intentional. |

Plenty here! I'm slowly convincing my neighbours it's a trendy 'wild' garden :-D :-D |

"Build it and they will come". If you have the right conditions for the type of weeds you want that is. :-) |

Apparently people are willing to pay vast sums for clumps of weeds to put in their gardens. |
