Crazy, ins't it?
Some of you employ gardners to make their gardens nice for when they are home. Some of you tell those gardners what to do, others let them get on with it, querying the odd bill to show interest and avoid being taken for granted. Some of you leave the gardners completely alone and are mostly lucky. Some gardners take you for a ride.
A good gardner will listen to all the nonsense (if there is any) do his best for the garden and get on well with the family who play in his garden. In a lot of cases he will tell those who know better than he does to stop flying aeroplanes and do the garden. He will then spend more time with those who appreciate his knowledge and forget the hassle.
After a while all the (good) gardners will avoid doing the gardens of those who know more than they do unless they pay an awfull lot of money to encourage them to put up with the nonsense.
Whose families have the best gardens - to enjoy, for their children and grandchildren to enjoy?
Try to get the best deal but don't set fire to the acres you want to play in. There are a lot of people out there who know an awful lot more than you, and whose jobs depend on it.
Can't be bothered to post anymore.
