It gives me hope that the plants will reclaim all the concrete etc very quickly, post-humanity
The front of our house where we cut the overly large conifer/etc was gravel and stone and stumps. Within a month it was a lush green mass of weeds. None of those weeds were present when the area was shadowed and sucked dry by the hedges.
Considering the weeds popping up along the wall in the garden, I think nature will do one on us and I welcome it (once Iām composting the earth with my body).
In other news. Two of the spindly flowerless roses I cut to a bare 6ā twig in the back garden 3 months ago have rewarded us these. Plus this little red boi I have sorely missed.
I'm so appreciative of this and the allotment thread. Makes me feel ok about losing two entire batches of peas and broccoli to the slugs, and has prompted me to go and pull out some bindweed in a hedge.
Obviously bindweed is the devil's work, but I will say this:
It gives me hope that the plants will reclaim all the concrete etc very quickly, post-humanity
And it is extremely satisfying to pull out of a silver birch and wisteria
