Re: Re: bermudagrass wars

Pam-- I understand your desire to tidy up the garden-- but do be
careful! It is to hot for extreme work... not to mention your back and
shoulder is not going to have anything nice to say about this:)


Hopefully, the weather will make you come to your senses.... Many times
I go out there thinking I will get everything done... then the sweat is
burning my eyes, gasping for breath, muscles (or lack of) are
screaming.... and I know it is time to call it a day...
