I do have a gate but its got lots of stuff in front of it and my house is down a long narrow gravel road, so there is no place to turn around. They would have to back up and there are fences on both sides so it may cause problems if one of my neighbors loses a fence due to one of my customers that is dumb as a post. And I have quite a few like that.
I think I am okay to train this one, I was able to train my daughter, who is not in any way a plant person, and it was not that hard. I have things set up, i have potting area where you can repot easily, like an assembly line. And I have some gardens that its easy to see what is the weed. In the nursery, its pretty easy, I can send someone with fert, top dress and a bucket. They can weed the pots, fert and top dress, really a no brainer. What I see happening is she will last a couple hours and go home and it will be a done deal. I did meet her and I like her so am willing to try.
I am working really hard getting my heather ready. My guy that built the new condo, who is actually a cousin, will be coming to get plants soon. And since he is a builder of more expensive homes, which means they are with ocean views, they have deer and wind. And I am the only one in the area with heather, I want him to be impressed and use me for all his projects. He is only 32 and already done 3 homes in the million $ plus range. He did not do any of the landscaping but he wants to in the future.
Now I don't want to go out and get started.....I really don't. Having a second cup of coffee and considering if I have a choice.
