waitttt, I'm serious, they are very pretty. Can't believe you call them dirty, mine look like I've been digging through mounds of manure.

thank you.

i have big hands. but they look okay for a 74 year old.

I started by building 4 beds for my wife but as soon as she started planting she wanted more. I put in the extra 4 since I had the posts and loam ( or loom as we way in New England) is cheap. Susan and my daughters spend a lot of time in the garden.

My next yard project is a 14x11 fish pond with waterfall and surrounding butterfly and hummingbird garden with things like buddleia, asclepias, monarda, echinacea etc. After that is will be the gazebo shade garden. We have 2.5 acres abutting 100+ acre conservation land. I am slowly minimizing lawn and maximizing garden.

If you ever get East coast, ping me. My wife loves to show off her garden.

sure thing. I'm on the east coast a lot.

we are putting in a fish pond too btw. we have around 6 acres, but a lot of it is for the horses, and I have a lot of property in the front, but that's just open and available for the view, not for veggies.

LOL... I don't even like going into the front yard because people can see me. I put in a row of holly ( every 5th is a male, the rest female) across the whole front but they are only 3 feet tall now. Some day I will be able to run around the front yard in my underwear and no one will see.

my front yard is completely private (until fedex comes up the driveway) and overlooks the valley.

If it wasn't for having teenage sons, i'd be in my underwear outside all the time.

I'm a couple blocks off the town common in a small new england town. They already look at me like I'm strange. I'm moderately large, shaved head, near full sleeve tattoos; multiple motorcycles and biker friends who visit on weekends in groups. I had a neighbor ask my wife if I was ok beacuse they saw me out back doing a workout with small boulders, logs, kettle bells, hitting the heavy bag, and doing bag rolls ( throwing heavy bag over my shoulder then turning, jumping on it, throwing 4 left and 4 rights then repeat). She laughs at the comments people make though. We live in her hometown.

plant some blueberies and strawberries and the next thing you know you'll have a half nekkid Mouse walking around looking for a place to throw down a blanket to get some sun...

I have to admit, this was kind of funny in retrospect
