If your kids are busy with sports and extracurricular activities, and you don't trust them to mow the lawn, it may not always be easy to get the lawn mowed on your own. If you have to miss out on playing with your family, or seeing sporting events, because you have to get home and get the lawn mowed so you don't get in trouble with your HOA, it's time to get help.
When I was young, I loved helping my mother in the garden. Our yard was filled with plants and flowers that she kept in immaculate condition. Once I was an adult and bought my first home, I learned that there was much more to landscaping a yard than I ever imagined! After a little trial and error planting a few flowers in my yard that died quickly, I realized the technology that is available to aspiring gardeners makes trial and error a thing of the past. After I found out what my "hardiness zone" was, I realized I was planting flowers made for much cooler climates, and I played around with software that let me design my yard very easily! I learned a lot throughout the experience, so I thought I would share my tips with everyone who needs them. Come back often to check out my new tips!
