Good point, you’d think that’d be the very first thing you’d mention!

I’m with him! I was convinced I was going to be covered in poison ivy, not the mention ticks, fleas, and other creepy crawlers. Oh, the mental anguish! I won’t try this again.

I suggest a gardener who doesn’t “dabble” in building pools on the side. I mean, who let’s a person talk on and on and doesn’t mention that she’s holding poison ivy? Rude.

Thanks! Glad to know I’m not the only one who hates yardwork! I’m done pretending. Back into the air conditioning I go!

Some people aren’t affected by poison ivy. I’m lucky that way. I can also handle poison oak too. But mosquitos…I’m like a magnet for them.

When I was dating my now husband, he went to help his mother clear her property of some overgrowth. The place was thick with ticks and stuff and when he got a huge rash on his belly and arms. He swore up and down that he had lime disease. (hint, don’t google this for images.) Turns out it was just poison ivy. Now anything that looks like a vine he gives a wide berth to.

Loved the end. Hilarious. I too have no idea what are weeds vs plants and need a helpful gardener/poolman to guide me!!

Yay, weeds. There are so many of us out there who have no business owning yards and pretending like we know how to actually care for them. I’m with you….

I can make PLENTY of pretty stuff…by hiring people to do it for me. I take great pride in the fact that I know which people to hire for which job! Not just anyone can supervise, you know!

Sure! You live in Washington state? (I’m kidding. Pretty sure you don’t.)
