Neilther Jayne or I like rose bushes, so the twenty or so in the front garden were always on borrowed time! A friend took quite a few of them off us, so they didn't all go to be made into mulch.
The grass you see below is only 7 days after sowing! Wow - things grow fast here! Unfortunately, that is trye for the weeds as well, so ground coverage and mulch is essential!
The snails - couldn't resist taking a pic of them
