Lol, well can't please them all!

SMC, ain't that the truth! I just try to please me. Even the grumpy man likes my flowers, though.

you want to feel sick?

I was talking to this guy who had moved into a new house and the yard was a "mess". He said he spent weeks raking up the pine needles in the back yard and putting them out for trash!!!! My jaw was dropped and I'm like "why did you do that? [you idiot]" Of course I didn't call him an idiot.

I wish we had pine straw worth raking. Ours is full of pine cones all the time, because they never remove them. I used nothing but pine straw in SC. Best mulch ever. Keeps all the weeds out, and looks nice too. At my old house, I had neighbors who would drop off big bags of leaves at my house every year for me to use as mulch. I don't care about looks as much as I do healthy plants....and not having to weed!
