LOL, Sue, sorry for imprinting that image- Oh how my strange mind works!
Thanks Veronica! I guess its 6 on one hand, half a dozen on the other; crowding the way I do does help crowd weeds out somewhat (and simply obscure them from view), but it also hides some to such an extent that they become a real problem without realizing it is happening. I love the neat, organized look you've got in your gardens, and the way you can easily spot weeds that pop up. However I know myself all too well- all that blank space would call for me to plant something there. It's a compulsion I no longer try to resist, LOL.
