Put on the cuffs, McGee! I've murdered my lawns! I hope to see my water bill go down by 40%...or more.

My 20+ yr old irrigation system breaks here and there every year, so it's getting an overhaul by Gardens By Gabriel of Morro Bay. He is designing me a four-year plan to rehab my aging native landscape with Mediterranean delights and easy on the budget hardscaping, to be completed in phases. Low care plantings will replace my high maintnenance Cottage Garden beds, with extra points for texture and drama. I am painting my porch ceiling Haint Blue and indulging in Whimsey and Color, finally. Who knows where the road will lead, but it is moving forward. Thanks for all your written encouragement, Billy.

Thanks for all of your fantastic writing here, Billy! We love it on many levels! We deeply appreciate the fantastic work you've helped us with at home as well. You're the MASTER and worth every penny and more. Your book will likely just make you more sought after and you may have to raise your rates to get it all done! :-)

Also, Folks. Please remember Billy should be your FIRST point of contact for landscape gardening and design. If you like his writing, you'll find him just as funny and helpful in person. I'm sure he has contact info on his website. There are others in town that will do an adequate job of this, of course.

But there is only one BILLY!

Our suggestion is that you book him ASAP before the book comes out and he becomes a nationally celebrity.

Congrats, Billy! We love you and your work and will look forward to your column and newsletters with continued glee.

Billy, I love my garden and working in it is one of my greatest pleasures. Hence, I look forward to your column on Edhat; however, I'm a writer and have had weekly columns in the News-Press and another local paper so I totally understand the pressure you mentioned about keeping up with ideas, editing, etc. It can definately wear you down. Magazines are better, more lead time. Thanks for all you've done, I look forward to your monthly contributions and can't wait for the book.

Congratulations Billy! I know it has been a long hard slog to get a book proposal done and sold but we fans know it will bring the fame (and $) you deserve. You kept a good humor through it too! Bravo!!!
