Hope not, I have wild flowers seefed out there. Could be though. Not normally at home all day, it is interesting looking out the window to see what is going on.
My council think everything is a weed.. well the guy who maintain the pathways does.
I have seen wild strawberrys eradicated elderflower budlia and violets are strimmed to nothing. This year they are not being quite so effective and I've seen violets again.
There are some benefits to this lockdown.

Just got back from the weekly shopping trip - Aldi was well set up with trolly cleaning, till screens, distance markers on the floor and staff in masks etc - but with customers waltzing around taking no notice of "Social Distancing" some folk deserve to catch C-19!
Possibly a little harsh John, however, before I wore a mask to tesco (we have that or asda and asda has no one way system; never again) people were constantly invading my space. The sad fact is the lout in his twenties is not going to suffer, but the poor old lady he pushes past will.
I was reminded when that poor lady dies and her colleague hospitalised after a lout deliberately coughed in their faces on Victoria station.
I've found the best way to get people to avoid me is to tell them I've had a bout of it - they get very anxious and move away then!
At the beginning I just coughed. Doesn't work now for some reason.
In my tracks Tesco's everyone obeyed the one way system then they had that half loosening of the lockdown where you could now travel for exercise so long as you're exercising n for most of your time away from home. That seemed to immediately signal an end to strictly following distancing and supermarket one way systems. It got me a bit angry and nearly ripped into someone!! Breath! Breath! Aaah! That's better.
I still have annoyance with incorrect mask wearing. Cover your nose, leave it in place and don't keep touching it!! Then of course do not take it off to have your very close chats to mates or to answer a phonecall. If you're going to buy a mask that potentially could have been worn by be a key worker then at least give it the chance of working by wearing it properly.
Needed to get something from local super market.
As I'm waiting for the undecided dithering couple in front of me to move on, a young man comes barrelling up behind me and got to about 3 feet away from me totally ignoring the distancing marks on the floor.
I yelled at him to back off.. did he not have any sense or was he blind.? He backed off. I think we need to be assertive when people act like that.
A bit of patience doesn’t hurt. Impatience could be fatal for some. It's the third time I've done that now. It may not make me popular but I don't care.

I’ve just had the same in Sainsbury’s. None of the staff wearing gloves or masks and stacking shelves right next to each other having a good chat. I was standing looking at salmon fillets when some bloke and his wife leaned in within inches of me with a “‘Scuse me mate”, picked up three packets, examined them and tossed two back. I despair.
Apart from a guy on the door doing the one in, one out thing, no other staff are helping to enforce the rules. I know policing isn’t their job, but they’ve chosen to work, and they work for Sainsbury’s, they should be helping enforce the measures.
Yeah, I run into that also. I have learned to allow more time for my shopping trips now.
I've just made a t shirt with " back off ! 2 metres, or i bite!" Should be fun wearing that to the co op! 
Here you go, wear one of these 2 metres across..soon sort them out.............

And for the gentleman, a laser hat. I want one.
It did get me funny looks wearing that but you're right, it works!!!!Here you go, wear one of these 2 metres across..soon sort them out.............
Seriously though, I reckon with each partial easing of the rules we'll be seeing less obeyance of the guidelines/rules. I noticed it immediately after there was a statement about being allowed to travel to your exercise provided the exercise element was the greater part of your time out of your house. That resulted the very next day with people ignoring one way system in Tesco's and standing closer than 2m. This new relaxing of the lockdown hasn't had much change because since the last change it's already got worse.
