Weeds in the back garden

I love sketching weeds. I feel it is so important that we stop spraying weed killer, insecticides and pesticides, and give nature a chance to recover. Do you remember long car trips when you were a kid, and the windshield had to be washed regularly to get rid of all the insects that crashed on it? It just doesn't happen anymore! And there are definitely fewer bees than there used to be. I don't want to be living in a world without bees, do you? (I really loved The History of Bees, by Maja Lunde, a work of fiction, yes, but so close to reality that it sent a chill down my spine.)
