I really, really want a gardener, but the finances won't allow it. And part of my problem is that I just can't get intersted in gardening, or flowers or anything related to flora and fauna. If I really cared about it, it would help a whole lot. As it is, I just care about it in my usual "neat freak" way, which sucks, really. K-Line – I so envy you your landscaper.

I'm staying away from that garden. Plus I have pollen-allergies and ghost-pale skin that will burn in seconds, so it would be a suicide mission :P You’ve convinced me, Amber!

My garden - if you can use that term - has occupied my every free summer thought for 8 years. I want a gorgeous garden that tells everyone how fabulously green and tasteful I am - I just don't want to ever have to actually do something to make it that way. Finally, after years of love-hate and "discussing" with my husband, I bit the bullet and got in a landscaper. It's going to cost a living fortune, but the damn thing is going to look good one way or another. Oh, I am so with you on this.

It always sounds like it might be fun, but you will break your nails, get your back scratched, and end up with sore muscles in places you didn't even know you had muscles. Also, unless you wear wellies, whatever shoes you try to garden in get ruined after one afternoon. I hate it so much that last summer Terry and I actually looked into hiring a gardener, but all of the ones we contacted failed to turn up when they said they would. Probably they'd heard about The Tree... Steph, don’t do it!

It's a bit scary. We have a patch of lawn that's about the same size of a handkerchief, but he's got *plans*. I foolishly offered to help him, but after reading this, I'm starting to regret it..

Well, it's just more fun to stay inside and catch up on the shows that have piled up on the DVR!
