Wow. Never been both so exhausted & SO satisfied! A tight budget & an intrepid newbie gardener client & a compacted clay/gravel new construction site posed my biggest landscaping challenge - but a few months of planning, teaching, tweaking, sourcing & two days of digging, planting & mulching later (after she & her hubby did alotta bed prep) & we HAVE A GARDEN! In 2 years it will be spectacular, lots of tough natives that can handle a Zone 4 hilltop! (Kudos DZ!!!)
