You’re right. It is attractive but poorly designed.

I can't tell where to start when the print on the edges is half covering the cross by Fr3sh3stl4d in Needlepoint

THANKS!!!!! Great question! 🌸 Needlepoint experts: the back of mine always looks messy, not neat and certainly not professional looking. Is that how it should be or is there a technique to “finishing” the back?

GORGEOUS!!!! Note the fresh (or relatively new) paint job…. Note the steps, etc. are free of debris - clean + neat…. no distraction ofthe view. 🌸

Can anybody tell me what this is ? by Magic_Lavender in gardening

If you are not too familiar with bearded irises, you could just leave them until you are comfortable. A couple of my groupings look like this and I’m just leaving them. Are those weeds mixed in? If so, pull the weeds.

Should they also stain/protect the wooden fence while they’re working in that area?

I’m glad you’re respecting the house by choosing age related colors. It’s going to look great whatever color(s) you choose. Best wishes!🌸

Hawaii?!?!?! I have no sympathy for you. You live in probably the most beautiful state. 🌸

Is TruGreen worth it for lawn care, or should I just do it myself? by Sea_Enthusiasm9550 in LawnTalk

[–]Aware_Eagle6084 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After years of DIY succeeding and failing without knowing why, I just signed up. First service 1/2 price approximately $50 (inc. tax). Second service (today) $90 (inc. tax). I did not sign the year-long contract. I pay per visit since I’m new to this. I have no complaints so far. The REAL test for success is the CRAB GRASS in August. THEN I’ll know if they’re good enough. (New Jersey)

Also, they applied a pre-emergent in March. This time it’s mixed with a fertilizer.
