I have learned to enjoy trimming plants and even pulling weeds. Something about being outside in the sunshine with my hands in the dirt is relaxing.
It's mowing the lawn, though, that I'd like to find a legal gardener to do. But for now, I have slave labor (a teenager), so all's well.
LOL. Sounds like a good arrangement. We used to have the most wonderful Americans (of Japanese heritage) as professional gardeners in southern California. They got undercut and knocked out by the cheap labor from Mexico, who for the most part don't do any "real" gardening anyway.
