No doubt our neighbors are used to having certain standards met and kept at our home. Well, we pledge to try, but to put it bluntly, Beth and I have about as much luck with gardening as we do with lottery tickets. Beth and I threw together a makeshift playroom/office downsâ€" tairs for the little guys, that pretty well wrapped up the major project division.

Oh, and I raked up about 104 of these little white tags, they were !ittered al! over the garden and it feels good to clean‘em up." Uh, Rick, those little white tags were positioned to identify what flower or shrub is planted there, and how we should treat them. Didn‘t you stop to read them?" ‘Read? Haven‘t go2 time to read. There‘s so much out there, and that‘s only the stuff we can see. Imagine when things start popping through the ground."

The lilacs are along that fence." "Why. before you know it, the buds will be on those bush things. and the shrubs will take to showing their summer colors, and the roses will be in full bloom along the fence..." No Rick, beside the deck." _What you have here is a family at the crossroads. Post May 24 weekend, | must be sure to supply you with an update. No big deal. then along the other fence we have rose bushes And..." Nope, the fence is up, the beautiful deck is immaculate, we have a utility shed that as a standâ€"alone could fetch over $100,000 in Toronto‘s real estate market.
