I have not got green fingers noooo:
I can appreciate the efforts that many people make in their gardens and that the effect looks lovely. But the only thing I can successfully grow is weeds. Not just one sort mind you there are a variety whistle:
I only tidied up the garden ( although calling it a garden is probably pushing the boundaries of the definition somewhat !!) the other week ...but peering at the bloody thing this morning it's time to do battle again evil:
Apart from paving over the bloody green stuff how do you get rid of them ? - I have tried lotions, potions and shouting at them lol:

Definition of a weed = A Plant growing in the wrong place.
Remember that most of our "Plants" are considered weeds by some cultures.
There is no permanent cure ~ even concrete will eventually become weed covered.
Learn to live with them, call it a wild flower garden and enjoy the various butterflies, moths and other crawly things that it attracts. They will soon be followed by birds who will eat all the nasties. Wild flower gardens are very fashionable ~ Even the Prince of Wales has one.

But I have tried cry: ... I have chopped , sprayed , pulled and torn noooo:

Window boxes are a elf and safety risk in case they fall and bop someone on the head like....so whatever funding you may receive this will be counteracted by having to increase your personal liability insurance whistle:

Stuff of nightmares eeek:

Where are the weeds? We have stuff coming out of the paving and the only thing that seems to work is spraying them and then taping bin bags over them to cut the light out. In the lawn, weed and feed regularally. In the flower beds, a hoe. Fortunately Mr Wench is now interested in the garden and I have very little to do with this side of things now.

They are in grass and in flower bed ( again a generous description noooo:) and through paving stones evil: Though the idea of putting bin bags over everything that grows is an idea that appeals whistle:
