My garden is all weeds. Tons of different plants, but some dominate in certain seasons, growing like 5 feet high. Seems to have avoided anything nasty though, no thistles, nettles or brambles.

My neighbour's garden is a thin layer of plastic astroturf. And they let a dog run about on it. Good luck getting dog diarrhoea out of that.

I know which I prefer.

brambles

Don't know what plant it is, but what a great word.

Nature's barbed wire. They often have things like blackberries on them.

I have a thornless variety of blackberry along my fence. I would still consider that area full of brambles though.
