    Hi Pozees, More great ideas! Thanks. And, bigger holes shouldn't be a problem as long as I can get the girls to help. They've come back from China and are now fluent in Mandarin. :-)

    The girls have destroyed the yard; time to landscape...any ideas?

    My flock of six has had a little over a year to destroy my backyard (which wasn't in such great shape to begin with) and they've done an awesome job! I am now the scourge of the neighborhood and I'm starting to worry about what the neighbors are thinking. I've never been much of a gardener...
