I suppose the use of the word "artificial" for AI is a bit of a giveaway - ie not "real" intelligence but simply what it's producers wish to have the rest of us think. The AI producers are trying to convince us that it will make life so much easier - exactly the opposite IMO.

Help needed with Buxus Plants!
I removed all my Box this year due to box moth caterpillar damage. Not worth battling with it. Other alternatives if you want evergreen topiary are Yew, Ilex crenata and Euonymus Green Spire.

Don't believe it about the mice. We used to find just bundles of leaves where the mice had eaten the crocus corm underneath.

Is it worth or even beneficial to tidy up the garden?
I have a smallish town garden, it wouldn't take much to get it looking tidy. But I'm trying to teach myself not to faff so much and leave things alone.
