Gardening is a lot of work, so is landscaping in general, the past few weeks have been when everyone (that I know at least) has been spring cleaning and replacing things and working on their gardens.
Today my family went up and bought a bunch of plants from a nearby green house and I have just one thing to say about green houses, they're like deserts with scheduled rain.
I say this because when your walking along the path because it's so hot and dry if you move one foot you kick up so much dust your almost choked to death and blinded, then you try to escape the sun and go into the actual green house it's not just hot it's humid as well and then the little sprinklers turn on to water all the plants and by the time you leave you are wet, covered in dirt and have a sun burn.
I guess it's worth it though to come home and plant the vegetables and the flowers so in a day or two you have a neat little garden in your yard.
You feel satisfied when every thing is going really well and you can see the buds blooming and you pick your first tomato or something like that, but then comes the down fall, suddenly all your hard work is smashed to smithereens over just one night.
You go to your garden and the first thing you see is the stalks are broken the flowers have just a stem left and there are little paw and hoof prints left in the dirt, that is the day you find the arch enemies of the gardener, rabbits and deer.

They may look all cute and innocent when you look at them but they will ravage everything in your garden when you aren't looking.
Also if one day you find your tomatoes have big holes in them blame the Tomato Caterpillar, they start out small but turn into these monstrous five inch long disgusting green caterpillars that should be killed on sight, give them no chance of escape they must die!
Also (this is sort of off topic) deer can jump really high just so you know make sure you build a cement tower and a moat with crocodiles or sharks whichever you prefer, around your garden if you have deer in the area.
