I can relate, Michelle. 18 years ago when I bought this house, I wondered why the owners, who had built it themselves in 1951, had only lawn, shrubs and trees, no flowers, no garden beds. Well, now I know. All the flower beds I put in are filled with weeds this summer, as I have aches and pains now that keep me from gardening and my time is all taken up with working to make a living with no time for the yard and garden.
