Gary is not much of a gardener. He mows the main lawn regularly with our rider, and keeps the perimeter in check with his brush hog and weedwacker. I do all the weeding and edging, but he often cleans up after me (raking up the weeds into the mower trailer or tractor bucket) which is much appreciated. He also sits in the purple herb bench with me for an evening beverage!
Every spring I dream of hiring a weekly 'yard boy' but so far have not done so. We've occasionally hired out specific jobs (pruning, weed wacking) but I've so far been not too pleased with the results. I'm getting better at accepting a less-than-stellar look, and am also introducing more and more natives to my flower beds.
