My whole yard is an ongoing project, including my pond. It took me about a week to dig it by hand, and another couple of days to actually build it up and get it ready for the water.
Now, its pretty well established and I don't mess with it much anymore - its all natural and I lov eit.
With the unpredictable weather this year, I haven't done much in the garden anywhere and it shows. It looks like the cool fall weather will be bringing some serious weeding, dividing, and upkeep along with it.
Sometimes I wonder if it would be worth it just to hire someone and say "get it done" and just enjoy the fruits of their labor!
Oh no, I couldn't hand control of my garden over to anyone else. Even when my yard looks less than perfect, I still enjoy it because I know how hard I worked at getting it to where it is.
When I moved in, it was covered with gravel and weeds - someone thought that was a good "patio."
I agree, I couldn't give up control of mine either. If someone else came in they wouldn't have the same vision and I am so dedicated to mine it would be like handing over one the of the children to a stranger.
I know I wouldn't be happy. But hubby isn't happy with it like it is right now. I've tried to explain to him that it's almost impossible to weed a garden that hasn't had water in three monthes. Those weeds are concreted in right now. He just doesn't get it. *sigh*
There is suppose to be rain on the agenda for this week though (of course they've said that all month and nodda).
