I grew up in Northwest Indiana and my Grandma had a GLORIOUS garden. She was from Mississippi and boy did she have a green thumb. I will likely be relocating in 2 years & we're open to a hundred places around the country.. we love adventure AND family.. Here's what I'd like to grow and please don't say it can't all be done, because Grandma did it! Thank you!!
Apple tree, a cherry tree & eucalyptus tree or plants.
Pergola with grapes. I will grow onions, carrots, potatoes, celery, green onions, strawberries, cabbage, collard mustard and spinach greens, tomatoes and brussels sprouts.
I'd like flowers, too, but I'll leave those to my hubby who loves landscaping.
Lilac bushes (my favorite) !!!
Lots of herbs like cilantro, basil, rosemary, lavender & such for cooking and making soaps & candles.
Pennsylvania is a great state for growing all that you have mentioned. In fact I have a garden every year and grow all of what you mentioned and more. My lilac bushes are awesome. They are one of my favorites as well. The only tree I do not know if it will grow is the eucalyptus tree. It might I just never tried.

Well I can't speak for the rest of California, but if you want beautiful landscape and great gardening year around, look no farther then SAN DIEGO Ca. AMERICA's FINEST CITY. Second largest city in California (bet you thought San Fran was # 2?) Home of the world's most popular zoo, Sea World, Lego Land & Balabo Park.
San Diego's perfect climate housed animial no other zoo could at the time. The Kola Bear, China's Panda, etc. It is said the easist job in the world is the weatherman in San Diego. (it's tru too) 365 days a year you will find flowers in bloom, & folks puttering in their garden. We are so used to the great weather, we had a problem as to when to hold the county fair? We flipped a coin & our fair starts in June & runs thru the 4th of July. To bad San Diego isn't a state of it's own, because it is a state of mind. No snow storms, toranados, tropical storms, humidity or mosquitoes. I love cutting fresh flowers from my garden on Christmas day. You would love it too.

i am convinced that a lot of people start wearing glasses because they are used to having no horizon or far distances to look at.
for a garden stuck in a cramped urban setting wouldnt this be attractive if done well?
i am thinking of a product along similar lines but obviously of a hugely larger scale..to the photographic dinner table mats or coasters..only 20 foot long and 4 foot wide.
yes its a good idea, if it was big enough one could pull up a chair put a country sounds tape on, and just get lost in your mind, and if one has one of those sad lamps it would be like summer, did you know that in penzance there is a bar that has underfloor heating and the floor is covered in sand, its done out like a holiday bar. its realy good.
heres the job:
- replacing trim around a rock garden on teh average size city yard
- raking some leaves
** should i charge like $20/hr? or a lump $$$ for the whole job?
is $20/hr a decent request? or is more in order(if its only like a 2-3 hour job or good hard valued work)
When I do a job, from leaf clean up, to "paver" walkway, to putting in a yard and planting beds, to dropping trees, etc.... I ALWAYS charge by the job. IF you charge hourly....(I know some people who sub contract and that's how THEY do it), you should charge no less than $35 per hour. In my region, $40-$50 per hour is decent, yet if I was making only that, then my business would go under!!!!
Say you only take 2 or 3 hours, at $20 per hour, that is only $60. You have to use your discretion. Now, if this is a part time side job deal, than this might be good for you.
I have been in business since 1988 (My father started, passed away a few years back now I run it, but I worked for him since the beginning and for another landscaper for 4 years). If it takes me say thirty minutes to cut down a 100' tree and chip up the debris, and cut up logs, I would prob. charge $600-$1000 depending on situation.......that's a lot of money in one half of an hour....that's why it all depends on your situation. I would charge one lump sum. Good luck either way!!!
would you like to live in a city which was layed out in a
landscape garden format which was done in minimal-angular styl;ing?
It needn't be in white but could be in a subtle smokey/warm grey colour with translucency and have areas of greenery.
Needn't be controlling Angel, it could still look that way and have a lot of freedom. Thanks for the tip, have to look out for that book
I would like to give it a try, it sounds cool

In past years I've used various local landscaping services large and small all resulting varying degrees of frustration.
One irritation is after shopping catalogs and researching in books to determine what I want to plant often those selections aren't available through the landscaper -- and they require you buy plants from them. They either substitute or skip that part of the project only for me to later discover they didn't do what I'd asked.
They've also not done appropriate soil preparation -- they just dig holes and sloppily throw the new stuff in. Last year's attempt to plant what I envisioned to be perfectly pristine straight rows of boxwood hedges...turned out to be haphazardly spaced, squiggly and planted at varying depths. The end result looks like they were planted by a crazy drunk person -- not by what is supposed to be one of this town's top landscaping firms!
What I'd love to do this fall is order exactly what I want from catalogs. However doing the work myself is beyond my physical ability. I can't dig up and dispose of the old shrubs. And preparing the soil and planting new the new stuff all by myself is just more work than my aging back can handle in the short Fall planting season.

The Outside Shop at 14th and S Street is on summer break until September 8th, or one week prior, depending on weather. Most of our exterior plants have been moved to our Inside Shop at 14th and Church Street. We still have evergreen shrubs in great shape and are still marked down from the Dog Days sale.
During this break, the Outside Shop will be getting ready for the fall season. Look out for colorful cool weather annuals. We will have lots of pansies and violas to color up your front containers and window boxes. In addition, there will be fall blooming perennials, lots of native plants, trees, shrubs, soils and mulches.
Remember fall is the best time to garden, particularly planting your trees and shrubs. The cool weather and better rainfall are the perfect combination for success. Take a look at the evergreens at the Inside Shop. They are sure to provide cover for any bare spots in the garden. You can get them now and plant them in the fall or go ahead and plant--just make sure you water them regularly in this heat.
