My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

How much time left to plant perennials?

19 years ago

How did it get to be the middle of September? I swear it was August 10th yesterday.

So, having gotten a little behind in my work, (like the butcher who backed into the meat grinder) how long do y'all think I have to try to get some perennials in yet this fall?

I'm more or less in Cedar Rapids.

Thanks!

--Kristi
