2.) Being ambidextrous would come in quite handy - evening out the playing field for your arms
3.) Ensure that the hole is indeed deep enough for your plant. The first hole I dug wasn't and I knew immediately upon placing in the plant that it probably wasn't going to make it (despite my best efforts to remedy the problem). Here it is just 2 days later :-(
4.) You can in fact trim a tree with just a bow saw, ladder and 2 people (one sawing and one pulling the branches down). Gloves help tremendously for the one holding the branches down.
5.) Know your neighbors - they just might have the tool you need. Thanks for the saw, Clara!
6.) A weed-eater that turns 90 degrees does wonders for trimming the edges of your sidewalk.
7.) Two flats of impatiens go a long way!
8.) A sprinkler system would be amazing! I fear I will soon slack in my watering and kill all my hard work :-/
9.) It is all quite enjoyable - it's nice to be outside in the dirt every now and then :-)
