You mean Last Week Tonight? The Late Show is Colbert.

This is a poison garden.

Hemlock, henbane, poison ivy, khat, giant hogweed, poppy, stinging nettle, yew, rhododendron, and many other toxic plants can be found in a poison garden.

Why? In old times, to make medicine, probably. The difference between poison and medicine is often dosage/timing. These days it’s mainly for educational purposes. Gets folk into botany, helps prevent poisonings, teaches respect for nature.

As one would imagine, they require special care to maintain.

The sculptures reminded me of Bene Gesserit, so naturally my next thought went to poison needles and dangerous caretakers.

If ever there was a lawn that needed converting to a poison garden, it’s this one.

Looks like Sepia (Peertube), 藍 ‘Ai’ (Misskey), Mastodon, Fox Tan (Pleroma), and Lemmy.

Please, I beg of you, don’t fill in with gravel. It sucks to remove, and it sucks to install, too.
Instead, space out large flat stones and fill the gaps in between with something low-growing like thyme.

Also, be sure not to girdle your trees.

That middle bed that’s already done looks great!

It’s shooting like this that’ll cost you a pinky finger in the long run.
