does anyone else get the urge to dead head roses, while walking along passed people's gardens.

[EleanorReally]

my fingers are Itching to do this

Do it!

Please don’t do mine. I’m waiting for the rosehips!

Me too....and to weed people’s driveways/patios/flower beds (delete as appropriate) 😂

Yes and in people's houses with their pot plants.

No, but I do get the urge to correct spellings.

Past. Not passed.

I deadhead things. I can't help it.

How do you know they’ve passed? 😜

Yes. And I don't even have a garden.

SpottedGingham I have to try very hard not to carry wet wipes in one pocket and chalk in the other to prevent myself correcting spelling and puctuation on the dozens of chalkboards near me. My friend (quote "Weezol, you are the only pedant I could actually love") reckons I visibly twitch when I see the boards.

When my children were small, I used to keep a pair of secateurs tucked in the hood of the buggy. Not specifically for roses, but any stray, unkempt bramble or branch that would get in my way.

If you are passing my garden, please feel free to tackle the weeding! Bindweed has run amok this year.

I've never had the urge to garden. I'd be great full if someone sorted mine out.

Yep. It’s a family trait, My dad once deadheaded his way round the RHS gardens at wisley.

No, I want to weed, I have tortoises and it's torture to walk past a weed filled garden when my girls would love it.

Yes and pull up weeds.

I really thought you meant the gardens of deceased neighbours, until I read on .

Yes, I thought you meant deceased people. This is precisely why spelling matters so much, even though many people love to argue that it doesn't and you're being a snob if you point it out.

What is dead heading?!?!

I wish someone would do mine. I haven't a clue what I'm doing and all the guidance online seems to depend on the type of roses you have - yellow apparently isn't a type so I'm still clueless!!

Shall I send you my address?

I do often have the urge to pull weeds out of driveways though, yet in my own I burn them.

Yes but I resist just in case some screaming harpy catches me mid act
