In reply to: Star S. 's message, "My opinion of you has forever been ruined, Amanda. You, afraid of a little yardwork? Good grief... I don't just do yardwork, I create more. =^-^= I told my mom that I was going to build and plant her a raised rosegarden, and that's what I'm doing this year, heck, I'm doing so this week." on 21:02:50 04/06/03 Sun

Amanda, I invite you to come up to Carroll County and try digging. Then, I will show you a "Carroll County shovel". Even with that, you will not be able to dig through the soil. In addition, what is not clay here is rock. Crabgrass is here as well. Instead of kudzu, we have multiflora rose. Why do you think I'm planting a RAISED rosegarden? Because I don't want to have to spend five days digging three feet down into the ground so that there is enough space for the roses. Don't come crying to me about yardwork.
