Back in medieval times those with money purchased indulgences to absolve their numerous sins. Unfortunately for the modern property owner no amount of the mullah can achieve the same, at least not horticulturally. Nevertheless black- and green-thumbed practitioners alike are liable to fall foul of natural inclinations . . .
  1. Lifting plants from park and street plantings
  2. Over-fertilizing
  3. Boasting
  4. Failure to return borrowed garden tools and equipment
  5. Wrath at unexpected demise
  6. Failure to water appropriately
  7. Failure to weed regularly
