I mooted an easier garden to care for last year and hubby said we could take it all out if I wanted, as I’m the gardener. He doesn’t know a crocus from a chrysanthemum! But it is full of edibles in there and I dry the lavender every year and make things with it and the autumn colours are just fantastic, so I can’t bring myself to rip it all out. Also, I don’t like to advertise the torts and that’s why we built the enclosures along the fence than the wall - so the neighbour can’t see exactly what I’ve got in these strange enclosures. In the winter we cover them and so a visitor assumed it was vegetables growing, and I didn’t contradict her!
