Thanks again, WeeNel. When you get to hear from someone who has been doing this longer than you, you get a feel for what you DON'T know!!! LOL Anyway, thanks for the compliment, too. My husband and I spent our first two years getting rid of weeds and amending our clay soil. Whew! That was a trying time. I think we had more dirt IN the house than out. Anyway, the lawn was laid and a low wall to define one section were put in last year. We did put a hedgerow of buckthorn in the first year and just worked around it. Those are about seven feet tall now and doing nicely. My only real problems started this year when I tried to go too fast, like you said. I got tired of waiting and lost site of the fact that it will take years more to finish this if, in fact, I ever finish. I love being outside working in my own space. Well, I'll hit the books again and will do better this time.
