I feel like I'm kind of lazy, but I keep the yard looking good.
I do the gardening.
I helped my dad do landscaping from when I was 14, and then every summer when I'd come home for college, I'd play on a travel baseball team, but during the day, I'd do landscaping.
I grew up doing some landscaping and painting houses and that kind of thing.
I spend hours mowing the lawn in absolutely straight lines on my tractor. If it's not right, I do it again.
I would never build a lawn trimmer," Myrnin said. "What did the lawn ever do to me?
My first job was cutting grass. In Miami, this grass grows everywhere. You just get the lawn mower out, walk down the neighborhood, cut grass.
My gardening apprenticeship was similar to the way a chimney sweep is pushed up a chimney. It was enforced by my parents, non-negotiable - it would be weeding the strawberries, mowing the grass.
I'm not saying find someone and ask them if you can mow their grass for ten dollars. I'm saying find weeds that need pulling and pull them.
