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.

summer cover?

18 years ago

I live in Knoxville but will be out of town for a long period next summer--from late May to early August. I'm working on plans for spring and fall vegetable gardens, but is there such a thing as a summer cover crop that will keep things in shape while I'm gone?
