    I'm considering taking up gardening full time....

    there's more money in it and it's much more enjoyable.

              Most of the time, turning an enjoyable hobby into a profession, takes all the joy out of it. Thats why I dont build bikes for other people even though i've had some nice offers.

                    that's a good point..... something to consider I guess.


                    btw, I don't mean gardening like, vegetable gardens and shit..... I'm talking about landscape gardening.

                              I knew some guys back in the early 80's that made a ton of money gardening in Hawaii.

                                but for me, porn was never a hobby.... not even an interest. I hate this business. It makes me sick. I don't watch porn, I don't buy porn, I don't like porn people, I don't like anything about it.

                                It pays the bills. That's about all I can say for it.


                                so what's so wrong about doing something you actually enjoy and making a living doing it?

                                        well.... I started running some numbers here today. And I estimated that my gardener makes 5 times what I make.

                                        and I do pretty well.

                                            If you can garden like you do sites you will do great. I know you don't care and will blast me. But you are a hell of a designer

                                                i don't get it.

                                                and you likely never will.



                                                stick with what you know Kman... some things are just beyond your simpleton mindset.

                                                  amp dude, i am with you

                                                  we just bought our first house at the beginning of the year, and once spring hit, i realized how much the former owners didn't keep care of the yard

                                                  i didn't realize it at the time, but I know see, it was a blessing in disguise...while it has been long and hard, i am finally starting to see results that I am love with and make me work so much harder getting my yard just perfect

                                                  my favorite thing, which is just starting to show up, is I took an area in the yard that used to have a tree with bricks surrounding it (now just a stump with dirt), and am in the process of removing the stump...but I filled it completely with hummingbird attracting flowers...i can't wait to see how it looks when in full bloom, which will hopefully be towards the middle of summer..but I have a feeling it is going to be awesome

                                                  i also took the entire upper level of the backyard where no one had touched it in years, and cleared away 2-3 years worth of pine needles and vine growth and outlined it all in red bricks slanted a little....and the planted grass and cut a circle with bricks for a fire pit

                                                  i am having a blast, and it is nice to see someone else on gfy that enjoys it as much as I do

                                                  i am out there every day, i can't wait til I get it perfect, i will post pics as soon as that happens

                                                    It pays the bills. That's about all I can say for it.

                                                        i know that i like men with tits, but from the pics i've seen of your wife, she looks more like a man with gorilla hands and mustache... so since im being attracted to men with tits that look hotter than supermodels, and you are apparently attracted to men with gorilla hands and mustaches, does that make us both gay and you just with the worse taste of us?

                                                          the grass is just killing me though...the former owners didn't do SHIT to the grass...so I have had to go over it all with new seed...big pain in the ass waiting game...i plant some new seed and have to wait 4-5 days to see any results....and then sometimes the seeds don't sprout, so I have to go back and do it again...

                                                            And I wouldn't trade you for 10 million bucks.

                                                            Enjoy your fucked up life dude.

                                                            Now fuck off.

                                                                              My fiance just got into the landscape and yard care business at the start of the year (for herself at least). Before that she did a couple years doing misc. handyman shit so she could have the experience to get her contractors license this year. She loves the job and is litterally making some serious cash and that is just with the yard care. She currently has a few bids in for some hardscapes and a couple other full landscape design jobs. Most of them are in the 8,000 to 16,000 range and are actually pretty small 4-6 day jobs.
                                                                              She already is hiring help due to her picking up so many yearly yard care contracts. Then what really surprised me was that she has already covered the cost of all of the equipment and it is still only May.
                                                                              She has no regrets getting into it since it was something she loved anyways.

There are about 20 places I'd rather be at the moment and I'm considering selling out and getting there.

You know it's good when you can imagine yourself sitting there and feeling really peaceful with the water noises. You probably have naked nymphs lying around on the grass, but at my house we just have the noise and the dogs.

                                                                                      Anytime you want to come to Australia and design a piece of the garden, let me know!
