The lesser of two evils




Category: New Gardener | Posted: Sat May 27, 2006 4:47 pm

I just came in for a break from out in the rose garden. My hands are all blistered up and Im hot!

Im not a happy camper. My hubby mowed the yard and garden this past weekend and did a horrible job at it. He didnt mow within a foot of my rose bush and didnt move any pots. I know the tall grass around my rose bushes help spread the infections from rose to rose. So I have been hand cutting thick, wet , tall grass from a foot out in. Ive been working at it for three days now. Now why didnt he mow closer? He could see my rose bush very clearly! >:Z

Now he rented a lawn mower for $40. I paid that to the yahoo who weedeatted all the plants in the ground including the bottom of my roses. But at least I didnt have to hand cut thick wet grass that is 1 foot x about 20 foot.

Now I must pick the lesser of two evils!

Well I don't think you will be calling the 'yahoo' back so there's your answer right there ;)
I remember using a shears to cut a whole lawn before when I was younger. The days before we had a mower. Needless to say my hands have many a blister. And my back didn't like it either.
