Are we off the gardening topic?
Probably just as well...just recieved a quote for professional landscaping in the back yard. As we are having the pool and deck all re-done, we want to really landscape nicely.
As I don't have the time or patience or knowledge..I prefer a professional. I spend my off time biking, running or other "stuff o' fun".
But I don't think I can afford this! Wow! It was much more than I expected. yeah, could do it myself...but I just have to leave it to professionals!

Good for all you that do your own!
