Aw, that's so sweet that you remembered my birthday

I will try to find my log in details and I had a lovely day, thanks!

I know it as cleavers or 'goose grass'

Jazzy, my place is the same as yours - running wild! Lots of lovely butterflies and bees as a result.

I didn't know the name sticky willy, I only know it as Cleaver, good grief LL, is your garden totally weed free, you would be weeding day and night if you lived in our house, it is tidy enough, but weeds, well, there are just too many to worry about and we leave wild patches along the edges, I adore Cow Parsley, my favourite, and our the hedgerows and centre lanes on the A road are smothered in red poppies right now, such pretty sight whilst driving.

It’s far from weed free 😂 We have a formal part of the garden and also a large wild garden. It started out as a patch of grass which was taken up and seeded with wild flowers and some turfed bits that had wild flowers in too. Over the years the grasses have become stronger but more wild plants have appeared too. I love walking round everyday to see what’s changing and blooming. It is always alive with bees, butterflies, and small birds. The sticky willy had grown all along the hedge and was beginning to grow in amongst the wild flowers. I pulled it up to stop it spreading and taking over.

Your garden sounds the perfect mix LL, just my kind of thing, yes the sticky willy is certainly a thug and needs to be tamed.
