My yard is fixed!

Almost completely!

I had the Handyman people come today and the very nice guy redid my drip system. It now waters all of the plants (minus the ones in pots and the one rose plant that isn't connected to anything else) which is better than the daily watering I was having to do.

I still have to water the ones in pots but that is much easier than the soaking of the trees etc that had to go on. Replaced the dead again flowers, and with dedicated water maybe they won't die this time quite as quickly. And the whole afternoon only cost me 300, and for what he did I'm very happy. If I had known how cheap it was going to be I would have done this a long time ago. Oh and I got out of the nursery for only 40 dollars, a record for me.

Not everything is done but all the stuff I couldn't do is finished. He also cut back the neighbor's apple tree that was blocking my lemon tree' sun and hauled away all the yard trash. My new spiffy composter will be in next week so that shouldn't be a problem again.

I'll take pictures when it all drys out and I'm happy with it. I had to cut the lavender WAY back and actually had him pull one of the lavender plants as I had too many and it was just out of control. Does anyone want dried lavender? I have bunches all around my house....
