Our tiny lot is being groomed, today. A crew has been pulling weeds, pruning shrubs, adding mulch and removing one eyesore of a plant. When they are done with the garden, i expect them to mow the lawn.
Dear Husband hopes to be able to turn the mowing over to them. We have such a tiny lawn, that we should be able to do it, but his heart is not in lawn care. The lawnmower should return from the repair shop today, so we’ll see what happens.
While we were between houses, I farmed out my house plants and eleven pots of iris and other outdoor garden plants. Once the men finish the gardens, I’ll need to get out and get the iris planted. I also have three plants that my youngest sister gave me, in pots of her own making! There’s a blue salvia, a bellflower, and a lovely variegated hosta that need to be planted.
I’ll still have the opportunity to get my fingers dirty, but I appreciate the push to get things into shape, today.
Great that you have managed to keep some of your irises. I remember how much you love them!
While you could I’m sure manage the lawn between you, I’m sure that the guys who would cut it need the money, so, if you can afford to pass over the job, then why not? Leaves more time for things you both enjoy.
Absolutely! Either one of us, or both of us could do the lawn. I think we can swing it to have our favorite landscaper do the job, and he will also take care of the feeding schedule. We’re in a neighborhood where it just won’t do to have a patchy lawn! (rolling eyes) You’re so right that we are at that point where there are other things we would prefer to be doing.
