Nonsense , Merlot you can"t be old ,

Leave the garden to get on with it , otherwise get a young sexy gardener to attend to things !!

Glad to hear Merlot that you have lots of bees. I've been worried about the lack of bees in my garden this year. Usually the foxgloves are a hive of activity, but this year nothing. The only thing on my delphiniums tonight were snails. I picked 10 off one plant.

My large garden is nothing if not wild natural. The older I get the more I'm having to leave some areas to fend for themselves with just a bit of maintenance. The delphiniums were covered in bees yesterday so that's good.

I was reading in the paper , that the gardening experts are urging us to let our gardens be more "natural".

I am in favour of that big time ,. if something self seeds in my garden I just leave it be . My garden is not untidy by any means , but it is not perfectly laid out either . I do try to let nature take it"s course.
