And no I can't do anything about the nasty smell, its a dead pigeon I shoved under the hedge on Monday (it's Wednesday now) because I didn't have anywhere else to put it and I was hoping the local fox would come eat it but it didn't

I love it when random wanna be "professional" gardeners to mansplain my job to me. Like hello, you wouldn't be able to name a single herbaceous plant if it slapped you in the face, stfu, and leave me to my weeding. It's even funnier when it's people who think that chemical control is the best thing ever, or the people who think that leaving grass to grow to knee height makes a place no longer ecologically sterile.

Because no, it doesn't.

And. No, I can't just spray in the beds, it'll kill the roses.

No I can't just leave it, it'll kill the roses.

No, I can't just out more woodchip over the weeds, they'll grow through, and it'll kill the roses.

No, I can't plant new roses in those empty beds because they're being treated for rose sickness, and it'll kill the roses.

No, I can't just leave it to natures delight, as much as I'd like to, because it's a formal garden and it'll kill the roses.

You see the pattern here?

They're few and far between, but it makes me laugh when it happens, especially when its something about the rose beds. I have spent about 90% of my time working here on these rose beds. Trust me, I've thought of everything, including just ripping them out and putting other plants in the beds because yeah I hate roses. They're prickly bastards that just drop dead if you so much as poke them too hard, and more than half the beds have rose sickness and we don't have the money to replace the soil to fix it.
