Water revisited

Last August I noticed at reference 1 a new front garden to a newly refurbished block on East Street. At the time I was worried about water, mindful of the borough's poor track record with newly planted trees.

As it turns out, the garden is doing well, with, for example, some handsome white foxgloves just coming  into flower. A nice change from the hollyhocks which are a lot more common hereabouts.

The only catch is that serious weeds, such as nettles and thistles, are starting to get established - with one such to be seen to the left of the foxgloves. Will the people managing the building manage to find the ten minutes or so a day needed to keep them down? Will the security people know the difference between a dahlia and a dandelion?
