You sir, are a genius. Thanks!

(Now to find someone who's willing to plant black-eyed susans, coneflower, daylillies and vinca - and throw the stepping stones for me, while I sit on my patio and drink beer...)

Eh, some people (like me) have the time, the talent and the inclination and their yard still looks like crap (like mine).
Want a minimal effort, low maintenance solution?
Plant some black-eyed susans, purple coneflower, some daylilies and a spray of vinca periwinkles in front; leave the grass on the shaggy side; toss a few large, stepping stones around and tell everyone it's a cottage garden.

Pretty much the only reason I'm joining this group is so I can get a sweet reference for someone to come mow my lawn and do other "gardening stuff".

Just kidding.

Actually, I'm one of those people who covet the nicely manicured lawns and gardens of my neighbors and would kill for mine to look like that, but have neither the time, talent, or inclination to do the actual work myself. I wish I did. I certainly have it in my genes (my mom and sister are both kick ass gardeners/landscapers), so I struggle with the fact that I don't follow the same path... sigh...

I don't know if my tomato, pepper, and basil pots get me in, but I'm trying.
