You're welcome Lyn. Smiling

I've started leaving certain 'weeds' in my garden because they are actually wildflowers which insects prefer. A plant is only a weed if you don't want it, many so called weeds are cultivated and sold commercially. We have to be able to change our mindset on what we believe is the 'correct' thing to do. 'Weeds' which grow willingly are usually more tolerant of your soil and weather conditions than commercially cultivated plants, we have been brainwashed by glossy magazines and TV garden programmes. Your wildlife and insects will thank you for leaving nature's choice.
