Although not a specific disease per se, it could very well be classified as one. It may start out as a small case depending upon the Garden, but over time, it will grow. I have seen it take over whole yards – which may seem like a viable plan in the beginning, but generally it turns out being rather like a jungle. Instead of a nice garden spot, you’ve now got to carry a machete just to find your lawn chair…

Be on the look out for it now, so you will recognize the signs of being ‘infected’ by the growing bug.

Plant Disease – “garden Creep”

Author: Bare Bones Gardener

One thing you either might have to watch out for or embrace is something I call Garden Creep.

This is the ability of certain Gardens, let alone the plants in them, of slowly growing and spreading or even multiplying over time.

Any dedicated gardener can explain to you the visible symtomology of the disease. New garden growths appear almost randomly at times as new outbreaks of gardens pop up in sometimes rather unexpected corners and sections of the area.

This problem is also seen in certain plants as well. When they have managed to obtain a foot hold in an area, where the available space for them, is inadequate for their realistic size. You will find these plants spilling outwards or upwards into space they were never intended to occupy. This causes constant problems for entryways & walkways, as well as air space occupiers like power lines. These planbts then have to constantly attacked and kept back within their territory, often at great cost in time and money to their garden owner.

Lawn areas and sometimes even pathways in it’s way are encompassed and/or swallowed up. It even can escape from your area onto and around footpaths and along road verges.

It appears I reckon to be a possibly viral disease that affects both the gardens and their gardeners alike.

It means that these garden areas extend over a period into every little space they can infect and take over, sometimes far outside the originally intended boundaries of the initial garden/s.
