It suddenly struck me that despite thinking of myself as a grower of plants, I actually spend more time killing plants than growing them. I spent the day weeding out a fairly small part of the garden. So I must have pulled out a couple of thousand plants. All I have done today in the growing part of gardening was to pot up say a hundred assorted brassicas. A bit of an imbalance there!

I may be guilty of the same offence I piled up a heap of weeds and annuals today on my plot that was shoulder height,for composting, no idea what that amounts to in number, and all I did to balance it was to plant a few more perrennials in the flower bed in front of my shed. I am guilty of mass "planticide" too.  |

Sadly you can't really do one thing without the other, can you? It's not so much an imbalance as a levelling of the playing field. I have quantities of weeds in my garden so I don't feel bad about pulling stacks of them out where I want a plant to have a chance, although I do feel bad if it's flowering...ludicrously.

Most weeds are bullies and would stifle more delicate plants to death IMO.
