Don’t let a garden hole ruin the moment or your cocktail

Gardeners are approaching that sweet time in the garden when the big spring push is over and, once in a while, we’re able to sit down, perhaps with a cool gin and tonic, and appreciate our work.

But there are two things (OK three, if you count a neighbor’s lawn mower) that can take the joy out of that moment: spotting a particularly pernicious weed in a view-ruining spot and having your eye stop on a hole in the garden.
