I laughed silently to myself because I don’t do this. I have a flower garden because it’s pretty. That means I yank out brown leaves and dead stalks. I wanted to privately email her to tell her she didn’t have to do any of that! she could clean up her flower garden to enjoy it because hey that’s why we have flower gardens. They are pretty.
