Thanks for the gardening tips

Thank you, Wendy Corum, for your letter, "Gardening tips to help the bees" (Your Say, June 24).

For 35 years, I have enjoyed my garden and kept it weed-free.

For the last two years, because of ill health, I have been unable to keep it as I'd like to and this has been a worry.

But reading your letter has inspired me not to cover it over with chippings or grass but to keep the flowers and shrubs and not worry about the dandelions, which I notice the bees love.

I feel so much better after reading your letter.
