Some years ago I visited RHS Wisley and was delighted to see that they had an 'ask the expert' corner. Clearly such well known expertise was not to be missed, so I joined the queue in anticipation of having my problem solved.
It wasn't too long before it was my turn to seek the guru's advice.
The guru greeted me with a glance over the top of his pince nez glasses and asked how he might be able to help me.
I explained that my garden appeared to be overrun with hairy bittercress and what was the best way to deal with it?
The guru pulled his pince nez glasses closer to the end of his nose, peering over the top directly at me and announced, "Move!"
Ultimately I did move - to France - so leaving behind a legacy that refused to be tamed.
