Publisher's Summary

How hard could it be?

Michael Francis doesn’t know anything about gardening.

Yet he decides to start a lawn-care and landscaping business.

What could possibly go wrong?

Eager to make a success of his ambitious new career, he relocates from New York to Greenwich, Connecticut, where he rents an apartment, buys some equipment, and promptly chops down the wrong tree.

He soon learns that stinging nettles and shorts are not a good mix, as disaster looms behind every hedge.

Will Michael triumph against all odds, or will everything come crashing down around his ears?

If you enjoy hilarious stories with unlikely heroes, eccentric characters and crazy misadventures, then meet Mad Annie Marsh, Nasty Mrs. Phillips, and the Trash Monster in this side-splitting tale.

Pretty Good

Overall a pretty funny story. Only downside I would say is, too much details on some things and not enough on others. Sad ending, would like to know how much money Mike lost after what happened.
Or did he come out ahead.
And what is he doing now?.
Still in the landscaping business or did he he never pick up a rake professionally again ?.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
