Wow, you got LOTS done!!!

Thanks Aspen! yet I stand here and think "there's so much to do!!!" What we all need is a head gardener and several gardener's boys like they had in Edwardian times. "You, MacGregor (all head gardeners should be named MacGregor), I want a tree there and a pond there." "Yes ma'am, have it by lunch time." THAT's how it should be done....

I agree. Like you, I have visions of what I want my gardens to look like someday, but it is a long hard road. I like doing things myself, but tire out so easily and never get all the things done that I want to do. It WOULD be fantastic to have a MacGregor to help, especially with the hard labor part of it I would be happy forever dreaming up ideas, doing just a little of the hard labor, and lots of thearapeutic weeding, but a MacGregor for the stuff that I can't seem to keep up with - YES!!!
