I did it in the house last year, this year it's the outside.<br /><br />I think I'm too untidy myself for that, Mike - but a garden I can enjoy and not be worried by would be wonderful.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00822383355869390919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-17113437927070532222013-05-26T17:20:58.519+01:002013-05-26T17:20:58.519+01:00There's a lot to be said for having a pocket h...There's a lot to be said for having a pocket handkerchief sized garden, we find.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07558857315748815249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-41949488553244207002013-05-26T16:13:22.596+01:002013-05-26T16:13:22.596+01:00We have a terrific "tame" gardener!We have a terrific "tame" gardener!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11346682505354790114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-6952428912934405202013-05-26T15:58:20.814+01:002013-05-26T15:58:20.814+01:00I too have someone who mows around things without ...I too have someone who mows around things without clearing them away. I have to list every item to be moved if i want the area of grass done properly - for years he has pulled the 'but I thought you might want it there' ploy. I have started to ask him to move things now, but sometimes I forget that I have to as I can't lift heavy things anymore. You have far more ground to clear than I do, though.janerowenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00295097968168916092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-81901779589681058862013-05-26T13:35:50.697+01:002013-05-26T13:35:50.697+01:00Unfortunately, he decided the uncertainly of self-...Unfortunately, he decided the uncertainly of self-employment wasn't for him and took another full-time job. We can get someone for a few hours here and there, but there are plenty of jobs that are too heavy for me or that involve scary tools like circular saws.

At least we're on the flat here.

At my last home, the side and back yards were rocky and steeply sloped. So I rough cut them with a string trimmer as the terrain would ruin a lawnmower.LẌhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06337382169476392640noreply@blogger.com
