  1. Hello, We moved into a place in Crookes with a 9 ft x 9 ft front garden. The only feature is an ugly tree stump (about 4" diameter) in the middle that is growing back. Otherwise, it's just overrun with weeds and the ground is hard with a scattering of rocks. I'd like to remove the "stump", kill the weeds, and lay down stones over the whole area for starters. But my attempt at pulling the weeds failed -- it looked lovely, but then they grew back just as bad as before. So I feel like this is a totally idiotic question, but how do I kill the weeds so I can lay the rocks? I know I'm supposed to get the roots, but the ground is so hard, I don't see how that's possible. If anyone could point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it. I am willing to put in time and effort (though not money since we are renting), but I'm at a complete loss as to how to get the job done. Thanks for any advice you may have. (Also, I learned a lot reading through previous posts, so thanks. I got some ideas for plants when I get there and learned that I should put weed control fabric under the rocks.) Amy
  2. when are the tutored tastings on Friday? does one have to make separate reservations? thanks.
