A thought on the first quote---I decided weeds don't grow in rows on purpose and can therefore survive those who wish to pull every last one of them up!

Thanks, Anne!
Good luck with replanting.

Atwood is right, there is nothing rational about gardening, but then enjoyment is an irrational act anyway

A gardener is an optimist.
