Its a teen rehab place.

I have a big backyard and smaller front yard and property alongside the house.

It requires cutting, trimming, edging, weed whacking, etc.

I don't know of anyone else that can do it for $60.00.

So, I dig them up like now and store them in a large bucket and keep them covered in ... the garage? Or outside?

The climate here is fairly mild year-round but it can be very cold with a lot of rain from Oct. through June.

I see a big one laying on top of the ground out there exposed. Should I pick that one up and store it?

He had a dozen of them going in their prime.

I'm a total idiot when it comes to gardening and plants, I'll admit it.

I do miss them so much as they were HIM.

I'm kind of broke as my late husband left me indigent as I cannot collect his Social Security and I am totally disabled with MS. I don't know that I am physically able to work in the yard to be honest with you. I'm in my late 60's and hanging on by a thread right now. Very SAD.

Damn that landscape company anyway!
