A two-inch-deep, V-shaped trench between the flower bed and the lawn makes your mulch look deeper and holds the line against grass invasion.

Finally, we need to save

our strength

This is not the last war of the roses.

Never garden without a lawn chair and glass of iced tea close by. Spend at least as much time sitting and enjoying as you do working.

Never garden alone. Invite friends to drop by when you plan to be working. If your wife or husband promises to behave, they can come, too. Makes a great excuse to put off whatever the next chore is.

Never take your phone into the garden. Real people in a real garden under a shady tree are in. Telemarketers and tax collectors are out.

Enjoy the victory. After all, it’s your garden.
