Gardening Guilty Secrets! - PyreneesPlot - 01-06-2021
Today I strimmed and trimmed the grass paths in the veg garden. I have eleven rectangular beds surrounded by grass and eleven grass paths between them.
The rest of the garden is rampant and pretty weedy, as are some of the veg beds between use. But not the paths.
My guilty secret is loving having the paths dead straight, neat, and well clipped.

Not sure what I was expecting you to say - but it wasn't straight paths!!

"My guilty secret is loving having the paths dead straight, neat, and well clipped." They could still be pretty weedy.

No secret and very little guilt. Seeds
.Don’t think I have a really gardening guilty secret.

Life's too short for guilt in the garden.

Straight clipped lines and edges aren't a guilty secret round here, they're a fact of life, but I don't do them.
Guilt but not a secret that I don't spend more time on the flower side of things.

Oh, they are - perfectly straight white and red clover, buttercups, daisies amongst the grass

I guess it is just that straight lines (the veg beds line up with the house, too) is at odds with my passion for letting nature do her thing and run riot
But I love them!

I am guilty of storing things around the garden, OH is very tidy and it really annoys her when I leave a stack of pots or trays sitting after I put some plants in, just looking out the window onto the patio there's a hand shovel, a part tray of flowers, a bag of soil 4 large empty pots all in different areas and 20 pots of chrysants, but the empty pots and the chrysants will all get filled or moved
Sometime
