Can readers recommend a fairly priced landscaper or gardener to help maintain my yard? I have a smaller single-family home on a fairly large lot for Santa Barbara. I have hedges and fruit trees. It shouldn't be that much maintenance, maybe once a month, to keep everything looking nice. I usually do my own yard work but I'm heeding the advice of my kids since I'm not as young and spry as I used to be and I easily get tired. Thank you for your suggestions.

Does anyone have recent experience with a gutter replacement company that they recommend?

Okay, we have done all the "normal" things, the non-toxic things, to try to deter them--cinnamon, cayenne, also spraying with a water/rubbing alcohol solution. Everything clean. But they seem to be desperate--in cupboards swarming over a skillet that might have a trace of oil left on it, crawling into a crock full of wooden spoons, etc, next to the stove, in the bathroom sink and bathtub, etc etc.

What I'd really like to know is if others are finding them more persistent than ever before, and if you have tips for discouraging them from coming in the house.

Does anyone know of a good gardener in the area? I need one for my front/backyard.

Edhatters: What suggestions do you have for a smallish restaurant in SB that is locally owned and operated and has a fairly healthy menu? I have some visitors coming to town who want to go somewhere different (they've been to the usual popular places). Two of them are vegetarians and two are meat eaters so a menu with variety would be helpful! Thanks!
