Things that don't belong in a Garden

[jowwy]

Yes they were just example photos I could find on the net.

I have on my walks seen a number of settees which are permanently stationed in people's front gardens for them to sit out during the summer.

How can I delicately put this without offending anyone, they are usually to be found in the front gardens of houses which are rented from the local authority and where the people have a lot of time on their hands to sit out and drink cans.

not much delicacey in there im afraid......but a good dose of stereo typing.

Quite a lot of vegetables grown here now were actually imported originally by the Romans but I still eat them.

Do you fancy a few days holiday in sunny Nottingham and all the ground elder you can eat?

Exactly the type I meant... hideous!

Now that you've conjured up the idea, I'm starting to like it ...

Back to palm trees ... I like them on the South Coast. Inland, they do look a bit odd.

Quite fancy a Sequoia sempervirens myself. They seem to thrive in fairly British climates, no?

We have several mature sequoias in the formal gardens of the place that I work (Oxon/Berks border). It was originally a privately-owned estate and the gardens contain a number of imported specimens, a display of wealth from the end of the Victorian age.

Ok, they aren't native to these shores, but so what, they look good!

Sorry Accy - I'll have to beg to differ on that one! I can't get enthused by a stick with some fronds at the top.

Yep very often they have a Dyson out there too, presumably so they can hoover up the ash from their spliffs.

people who watch footie on a tv outside getting pissed and assume the whole street wants to hear the broadcast

I don't mind the thwack of leather on willow coming from my neighbour's wireless radiogramme , or the ping of felt on cat-gut. What ruins it is the asynchronous DAB broadcast of lagging echos. Can we PLEASE listen to analogue radio in our gardens!!!!!

Wooden fences?
That’s a tricky one for more people with small gardens. Hedges take up lots of room and require upkeep.
