this really speaks to me because I have a large flower bed below our deck. I can sit on the deck, drink wine or coffee, and look at things that are beautiful and weed free. If I don’t have my glasses on I do not notice the weeds in the vistas beyond, weeds that live in the other flower beds because I can’t really distinguish them.

so maybe that’s the real gardening tip of the day, take off your glasses. Enjoy your gardens that way!
Tip # 2, make your tidiest garden be in an area that is fenced in, so that your dogs can be out there with you. This is why my backyard gardens look better than my front yard gardens.
