Default My Greenhouse: a warning to those who still wish for one...

Congrats Kathy! Yes pictures & more pictures please.

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....
