my lawn boys mow well.... right over geraniums and everything. I had to put guards around the bottoms of the trees to keep the boys from killing them.

[xsmommy]

they are much too fast, done already!

[SCalGal]

How did you post that picture?! I can't figure it out!

[SCalGal]

My method has been to point and say "NO!" You should have seen what they were doing to my poor elephant ear plant.... they were going to kill it, removing more and more leaves each week.

They are dying to get into my backyard, and are convinced that I am keeping them from something really good.... they don't know that there's nothing but dirt back there right now.
