Why does yard work always seem never-ending?

WHY DOES YARD WORK ALWAYS SEEM NEVER-ENDING?

- Totally agree about the “low maintenance” trap. No matter what you do, something always needs attention—nature just doesn’t care about our schedules.
- I’ve noticed even the so-called “weed-proof” solutions just buy you a little time. We put down landscape fabric under river rock, and within a year, dandelions found a way to poke through. It’s honestly impressive.
- Letting go of that perfect look is key. I used to stress about every weed, but now I just focus on keeping the paths clear and the veggie beds going. The rest can do its thing.
- Not sure I’ll ever enjoy spreading mulch, though. That’s one job I wish was truly set-and-forget...
