Why are people so uptight when it comes to gardening?

So many people want their gardens so perfect, everything in line, and every living thing besides the plants that were planted there dead. My garden is completely the opposite. My garden is beautiful and vibrant, and a habitat for several living creatures. I have 6 Dyanthis, 3 Cana Lilies, Carrots, Tomatoes, Radishes, Queen Anne’s Lace, Morning Glories, Some sort of purple flower, peas, beans, Sunflowers, and even a single Corn Stalk! Some of those things were planted last spring, but many of them-like the tomatoes, Queen Anne’s Lace, and the plant with purple flowers just decided to live there. It’s one of my greatest joys, and I can’t understand why people slave every day so that their gardens are absolutely perfect. Plants weren’t made to be perfect. They were made to be unique. Gardens aren’t only for humans to enjoy. Why can’t many people understand that?

I wear a ballcap but that doesn’t really help. Is there a spray or homeopathic solution to get these pesky insects away from me when I am outside working in the grass and garden? I live in the mountains. They arrive in late spring and don’t leave until early October. It makes it almost impossible to stay outdoors.Our township does not have community spray for the area.


do you have some tips on gardening or landscapping?

I have seen these plastic grow bags online. I was wondering if Home Depot, Menards, Farm and Fleet or some store like that would sell them? I don’t have any special gardening stores by me but was wondering if anyone knew if a normal chain store or wallmart or something might sell them?
