I hope we both can find solutions. I know as I've aged I plant most of my flowers in pots instead of dealing with mass plantings each year. Seems to be the easiest as I have arthritis issues. Colorful pots are easily moved around the yard where color is needed with a 'dolly' and cart.

Moving to the new house we inherited a yard that hadn't really been taken care of, so now we're trying to prioritize and do what needs to be done the most. The list seems endless and I'm not able to do much physical outdoor activity. I know you guys have much harder winters than we do, but still get the hot summers that can totally burn up a yard. It's refreshing to see you show what needs to be done. we all know we're not alone in the endless yard tasks!Debra@CommonGroundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04830455848744270459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3181238201239847317.post-84751327806029954622019-04-17T11:31:33.951-05:002019-04-17T11:31:33.951-05:00Oh, Dear Maristella, perpetual Spring, I could rea...Oh, Dear Maristella, perpetual Spring, I could really go for that.
