    landscaping is my other hobby, record for me, 25 yards of mulch

    My landscape guys clean up the beds and install mulch for me now, too old, but I planted everything you see except the very large mature trees. Shade garden, cutting garden, front. Thanks Brian

    Looks great Brian. We get 10 yards of mulch about every 9-10 months. Really keeps the beds looking good.

    I guess in Texas you would have to do it year round. Thanks. Brian

    WOW. I aspire to that, but not yet there. However, getting closer every year.

    Really nice.

    Really love the hostas. So- you don't have weeds where you live?

    I am surrounded by yards full of dandelions, but refuse to give in. Thick lawn is key, built it up over a few years and got to the point it is easy to keep under control. I use quart spray bottles with different weed stuff in them and once a week just walk around the yard and spray stuff. Thanks. Brian

    That all looks very nice Brian. I am trying to find a quote.... I think it is from Agatha Christie, it might be P.G. Wodehouse, or was it Downton Abby?

    "It takes ten years to make a Lawn and twenty years to make a Gentleman"

    It may be the other way around.
