The problem may be that some men/boys just know their limits. I need a
yard woman myself. If it grows I can kill it by doing exactly what I am
supose to do. Example I cut my grass and the next week it is brown even
though it rained twice this week. I do have some of the most beautiful
rose bushes though. Did I mention that they have not been touched in
five years. Will not even go within 20 feet of them in fear that they
will immediately wilt into nothing. Other than that I have been told
that I look 25 when I shave so maybe that will make up for my lack of
yard abilities, HA HA.

"The problem may be that some men/boys just know their limits."

I'm sorry; I don't quite follow you here. What do you mean?

Oh...I should say the "yard boy" thing is a joke...kinda like a "pool
boy," yanno?

But, honestly speaking, it would be nice to have a man around to help
with some of the backbreaking work I do around here. I'm getting toooo
old for this!

Hell yeah they are too soft! Are you kidding me? Some of these men that
I have encountered are some of the most pathetic excuses for men ever.
Men today act as though they have PMS or something. They need to do what
I do for mine...go to the store, buy some midol, eat a snickers, and
call it a day!

First I understood the joke i.e. the yard woman. Limits are what they
really have to offer and whom they thought they were responding to. Some
are scared off by a little spark that a woman has a mind and the ability
to use.
Seriously though do you know any good yard woman I am in definite need?
My neighbors are starting to look at my yard funny and it is not from
lack of trying.
I have even tried landscape companies, they loose their help so fast
because of my yard the company refuses to come back after a couple of
weeks.

Ahh, I understand now. Thanks.

No, can't say I know any offhand. I have planted 25 rose bushes over the
last couple years and some of mine do fine and others don't.

My neighbors all laugh at me because I keep my grass cut "golf course"
length.

They all cut theirs at about 3 inches high...and it grows like crazy!
Three days later, it looks like it needs cutting again.

At least with mine, if I have to let it go for any reason, it'll take a
while before it "has" to be cut again.

I have very rocky/clay soil...good for growing some things, not so good
for growing other things.

But I don't do a lot of maintenance; I plant perennials that pretty much
take care of themselves and, if they don't, I don't plant them again. I
simply can't devote that much time and energy to it, and also the pain
gets to be too much, cuz I have DDD in my lower back.

Sorry I can't be of much help but if landscaping companies can't help
you...

Say, ever thought of Astro Turf?

i think to much of what isnt important is put into the quality that you
search for or want come down a few notches to reality an one will stay
home with you always an love you. we are only human except us for who we
are or go on to the next an leave us be were actualy very simple .
