I have come to the point in my life where the product in gardening is more interesting than the process. I love having my gardens look manicured and eye-catching, but the work to do it is no longer what I’d call fun.
\nI spent three hours working outside today and accomplished perhaps 1% of what needs to be done. I need a CREW of able bodied young people who know a weed from a flower who can make and spread mulch and compost, use a weed eater, cut down volunteer trees, water, and plant shrubs. I also need someone to help weed, and plant, and mow. I have a spare bedroom, if you know of anyone who is willing to work for room and board.
\nI spent two of the hours on my hand and knees, cutting back the lavender, trimming back a shrub and a sage bush, and weeding one small area of the front garden. I hope to get an earlier start tomorrow morning. If the weather is good, I may try to get to the nursery for the first round of plant buying. If not, I’ll have to squeeze that visit in soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
