Dear 'Spakker',
I asked a sensible question about market practice. If you have no answer,
why the stupid sarcasm?
As a matter of interest I normally do my own gardening, but I have to go
away for a couple of months. Also there a re a lot of people not 'healthy'
enough to do their own gardening.



Under the circumstances you describe, do you not have a near neighbour or
relative who would do it for you? We will be away for 3 months, but a
neighbour will have the key, pick up the mail and sort it into piles, and a
daughter will forward it on to the various Associations I am involved with.

Getting back to Gardening, the same neighbour looks after our greenhouse and
plant watering when we are away. OK we are away from the start of January to
the end of March so not much 'gardening' to do, but possibly the lawn will
need a cut and he/she will do that.

We already look after their greenhouse during the growing season as they
have a large Campa Van and clear off when it takes their fancy.

Neighbours. Wonderful things :-))

Mike
