Worst Gardening Job

No kidding!

Last fall I tried to remove an ancient forsythia bush that had outgrown its location, and started to eat [or at least try to grab] passerbys and neighbourhood pets. After several days of trying to remove the root ball, I eventually hired one of the neighbourhood teens...

... I don't know that he [and his friends] will ever forgive me - but they did manage to get the darn'd thing out of the ground ;>

Beyond that - on the list of chores that I'd willingly pay somebody else to do... double digging, and digging out wonderful [Hah!] invasives like vinca, viola and hedera. I swear that all of those plants are almost able to walk on their own!

cheers!
