It's probably not a stretch to wonder why someone who hates gardening and being in a garden at all even bothers to have a garden. I mean, surely it'd be easier just to remove all of the plants and have a giant patio or concrete it over or something like that, right? I wouldn't have to get beaten up by the nasty pollen any more, and there'd be plenty of space for a table and chairs and a barbecue. Surely that's job done?

Well, I kinda had a garden like that in the first house I bought. It was flagged and had a raised rectangular brick-built goldfish pond and that was it. Aside from removing weeds from the cracks between the paving there was very little to do, and no upkeep. Perfect, right?
