The trouble is the insurance. No one steps foot on our property without it. Certificate and all. Most of the smaller places don't have it.
But I think (despite what my husband says) that I'm being very reasonable. I'm doing it in stages, only ordering a little soil at a time. (Last time I had to resort to a "Please take some dirt" sign when I pooped out.) Everything is in stages. All I *have* to do right now is the stuff that involves the grass, and filling in the soil under where the grass goes.
This is because I decided to have almost nothing *but* grass in the back yard, with a few small trees along the fence, and the trellis of vines. I keep scaling back and scaling back the plans in view of future upkeep, although it means more work now. At least for the moment I've got the energy. I know I won't have the energy to consistently garden.
Soooo.... The only real garden will be the ones along the back of the house where the fountains will go.
Eeesshhh. I'm so tired. And I had a very loud "discussion" in the back yard with husband. And I've got to do tonight the work I didn't do during the day because I was moving mud.
But I will confess, I'm not anxious, and only a little agitated. If I work outside six hours a day, I just might feel better.
