I do not think that SAsless's post was read with the same intent as to which it was written.
You sure about that?
For the Not Knowing....Yards here are Gardens there!
On this planet... "In North America, a yard can be any part of a property surrounding or associated with a house or other residential structure, usually separate from a garden (where plant maintenance is more formalised). A yard will typically consist mostly of lawn or play area. The yard in front of a house is referred to as a front yard, the area at the rear is known as a backyard."
A yard there is not a garden here
Then again, in reference to plant maintenance, in S. America I hear the Brazilian Ladies have yards as opposed to gardens.........
