The big take away from your post is that you're getting hitched! We will
need pictures, you know.

Your guests will care only for you and your honey. Do what you can with the
patio, but don't let the stress mess with your happy day.

While this has nothing to do with greenhouses nor can it compete with
digging trenches, here's the state of the state of my backyard project.
Please note: it has to be completed by the end of June when I'll be
getting married and hosting 40 people at the reception in the backyard.
*This* backyard. It was supposed to be a flagstone patio down the side of
the house with raised flower beds delimited with rockwalls. I've got 20
days to complete the project. I don't think I'm gonna make it. Its
getting hotter around here, too. At least I have the sides of the house
that'll show during the reception painted.

I only show the pics because Al's comment that 'maybe I'm older' struck a
chord. I started planning this 5 yrs ago, xeriscaping the yard against
our cyclical droughts. Oh how I wish I'd completed it then. Somehow this
ain't gonna be the lush paradise it is in my mind....
