the gardener journal.  


It is the life of a gardener not a botanist.  I cut grass all day and pruned some flowers today.  I was at the house of some smart single woman who is so smart that hire other group to add plants to her front lawn and some small rocks around the new plants.  the type of rocks she had lain down around her new plant material was , or it is now, river rock pebbles.  they look polish and shiny.  her front lawn or next to her walk is filled with those rocks. In certain areas  as you go along, plants were added: agave attenuatas,  feather reed grass, festuca glauca.  She had it repeat along the walk way leading to her fancy door, what they called standard pensacola Glass door.  


along the wall that hugs the neighbor's yard, the outfit, added the same type rocks and same pattern of repetition of plant material.   They had to add another valve for a drip irrigation type of  watering. 


it looks way much better than before, and she got rid of the barbecue pit, and filled with the bricks that match her drive way. 


she must to pay a big bundle.  


Me, I am the grass cutter and lawn pro that was not hire for that job.


I could have done it with the help of  fellow amigos, but she did not consult me.

How to deal with liars.

 How to deal with liars Liars want to take advantage and make lose. How do I know?  I know it and you know it to.  For example, I met a guy whose name is Mike.  I won't give his last name or address and phone number.  I should not do so.   Why is he a huge liar?   Here are the facts:  one day, it was sunny day, the birds were crapping all over my car, the wife had given me a thousand chores" good for you", but work was meager as it has been since the dawn of my life. I thought to put an add in Craig's list.  " grass cutting services, irrigation, weed wack" It was a frugal way to advertise my horticultural tissue culture expertise. As you know, Craig was free back when it was free, but now the site cost five dollars for a whole month.  YOU may think is cheap, but for sole bread winner of three girls, it is a huge undertaking, let me freely tell you.  If you disagree, you may be a liar.  You can reach me at &*()&*()&* if you want a debate on that l

how to get rid of weeds. The best way, my friend, is to  go ahead, and pull them out.  when you see them, pull them out.  That way they will never get a chance to grow and proliferate  in your garden, right.  You want to have the garden free of weeds.  you don't need a fancy garden as long you have a tight garden. what I mean by that, is that as long all shrubs are clean, the dirt is rake up, there is no weeds, I feel, that in my expert opinion, you are doing fabously. other ways to get rid of weeds are: vinegar mix with water, dish soap mix with water, hot water and that is easy, papers and two layers of it, mulch, old shower curtain.  thank you so much for your added support.  Take care.

 John;s Gardening services;  we provide all kind of services like managing high growth of fort night lilies.   One, you need to plant it in the right location.  It should have enough place to grow unabashedly.  I have seen many plant adjacent to walkways; they become a massive obstruction to the public in their direction.  It will need to be trimmed weekly which will prevent the flowers and free will of the plant.
