Maybe that is the look she is going for. I know exactly where my big driveway is, even if it is covered in grass.Wait a month.... It'll be green.

You should get on Craigslist and buy a 70 year old Ford tractor.This doesn't really show depth very well, but two full-size pickups will fit in front of the S-10. All that gravel came out of the garden.

I think Ford was the only one making tractors with a true 4 wheel stance at the time.
Everyone else was making the type with aircraft style nose wheels and they liked to tip over.

What did you tomahawk together for sifting?On a positive note, I'm almost finished sifting the garden and gravelling the driveway. The driveway actually looks like a driveway now.
much easier to pay someone to cut the grass prune the bushes. repairs ain't my problem nor is maintance and i don't have to have all that crap stored in my garageThey just do.

Oh yeah I forgot you're a rich Malibu real estate mogul with a fleet of Lamborghinis and a Mercedes that runs on french fries.much easier to pay someone to cut the grass prune the bushes. repairs ain't my problem nor is maintance and i don't have to have all that crap stored in my garage
Just a couple of old ratty sawhorses, some 1/4 mesh and some scrap lumber.
I can run the wheelbarrow under it and sift into the wheelbarrow. Last bit of business with this claptrap concoction is going to be sifting out the feathers and stuff from the seasoned chicken poo a friend gave me. I'll wear a dust mask for that. Then, I'll tear it apart and it'll just be a couple of old, ratty sawhorses again.
On another good note, every one of the garlic seeds Ducky sent me have come up.

I can't tell if mine is growing or if it's just grass.
I know for a fact at least one garlic plant is growing but it's one that I transplanted from the burn pile. It's taller than the "grass" around it.
Maybe I should have planted them in dirt instead of wood chips.

i go to the store and buy a few elephant garlic bulbs and plant the cloves, they grow well, i love garlic in my cookinI can't tell if mine is growing or if it's just grass.

as i am getting older, i am cutting back on my garden. it's not that i don't appreciate having one and maintaining one, since mine is so small. but then again, yes it IS the maintaining of mine. i know this makes no sense. but it's the way i feel. if i were to hire someone, it would be a waste of money. i'd be better off, leaving it all dirt.much easier to pay someone to cut the grass prune the bushes. repairs ain't my problem nor is maintance and i don't have to have all that crap stored in my garage
it's the hours working, then hardly getting any sleep during the daytime, then pushing myself on the weekends. add other home duties and there just isn't enough time for me. so when i watch tv..??
9 times out of 10, i am fast asleep, missing a good movie. yes, there is "some satisfaction" in doing something myself, over paying someone who only looks at it as a job.
i get the satisfaction that a flower grew that i planted the seed. i get the satisfaction that the veggies grow and are great tasting, raw or cooked, that i planted them and maintained them.
that is satisfaction no one would appreciate if hire to do the job.
i can "see" the day i will most certainly no longer have a garden or this house, but maybe an apartment with (if i am lucky) a balcony for one chair,
and maybe only a small flower pot.
When they're first coming up, they look like dark green chives. Clip an end off a leaf and chew it. You'll be able to tell whether it's garlic or grass.I can't tell if mine is growing or if it's just grass.

. that chicken fryer has been gone for a while where have you been. to be honest there's only one lambo that i would buy
a ferrari is better it's got a smaller ass
. i think you have been sniffing to many fumes. and BTW real estate pays very well out here if you can make it to the top. but it's alot of work sometimes more than you can ever imagine!!!
