I see no problems at all in your gardens Lyn.

I have learned to selectively weed, and never preoccupy myself with perfection. You have done a beautiful job of doing the same concept it seems and the look is truly lovely. Smiling

I like the little tuffs of natural grass for instance growing around here and there in what is clearly a planned natural garden.

Beautiful to me!

I do plan like you a bit (I see your organization), yet will always have a natural looking garden.

I have a hard time imaging "The Garden of Eden" being structured and topiaried as in formal European settings from the past, or, worse yet, every shrub being trained into box shapes.

It's not a me thing, yet have to admit some of those high end HMO gated communities sure look pretty as You drive through!
Many of these folk don't actually garden of course on the whole, but their well paid group of groundskeepers do a great job for them. I wonder sometimes how many times a year some of these folk in this group; ever walk out on the beautiful grass they have paid well for;... to get to that Rose bush way over there to smell it?......................especially in Summer and here? (Maybe if its right outside the air conditioning and by the pool Hilarious! )

This is simply an instant rambling thought with humorous intent, and no disrespect to those who don't do actual gardening themselves and pay to have it done. You are blessed! I tip my hat to you.

(Going out and clipping Roses for the bud vase does not count even if you paid for them. If you don't spray, fertilize, and touch the dirt yourself;...you are not a gardener and its flatly a fact. Smiling )

Message to any who may fit the demographic mentioned above in last statement and who are blessed:.........

"Now;...you get yourself out there and smell that Rose you paid good money for,...and saw way out there in that front yard as you pulled into your driveway. Do it tonight!!! :lol:"
