However good a gardener you are, there are always outside agencies that do their best to prevent you succeeding. That’s life.
Weeds
will invade your beds and borders,
pests
will fly in to nibble leaves and suck sap, and
diseases
will spread death and destruction in their wake. But grow your plants well, and know what steps to take when you spot a weed, a pest or disease, and you can stay one step ahead.
Whether you are an organic gardener like me, or use chemicals wisely, making sure that the right product is used in the right place, the important thing is that you achieve a working relationship with nature and still enjoy your garden.
