emtnest, I wondered how it could possibly work, lugging concrete leafs around. I read GARDEN GALLERY by Little & Lewis, and they make such items out in the Seattle area. What I have been trying to get my brother to do is to sell some of his original birdhouses. He has an unlimited supply of "Katrina" wood, since he lives just outside NOLa. Every time I run across a catalog with photos of hi-dolla bird houses--and I mean something close to a grand--I send him the pics. If I had his talents and supply of materials, I think I'd be at least advertising them on eBay or at local art fairs. This year I will go to the Mobile Festival of Flowers specifically to BUY one of the birdy mansions this man from the midwest created out of old river driftwood. Not exactly JUNK, but it came out of the debris pile...does that count? And at my house, we are currently having a disagreement about this set of heavy cypress louvered doors. I have them propping up the old metal garage door on a cement block garage that has no roof structure. I rather liked the cracked weathered white paint, with a cherub on a pedastal in between the two. But a few days ago I looked outdoors and saw DH scraping them down and painting them. He wanted them to look shiny new; I said what person in their right mind would put brand new doors in such a place? They are supposed to look aged. He tries to make the yard look NEAT, and I want it to have character. Sigh....

Fall is the correct time to plant garlic in the south. It comes up and grows through the winter and is ready to harvest in late spring to early summer. I planted mine 3 weeks ago and I would guess that 2/3 of it is up now. After getting the soil prepped, I laid 2 x 4 lumber on the soil where the rows would be and mulched the entire bed. Then I pulled up the lumber and planted the garlic in the blank spaces. Naturally, the pine straw kind of "dripped" over the row areas, but the garlic seems to be coming up just fine. Chances are that your freeze tonight will not harm your garlic whether you mulch or don't. They are only calling for 30 here.... If you are concerned, though, I think the easiest thing to do would to be just to throw some row cover or even a sheet over the plants for the next two nights. It's not supposed to be freezing for at least another week after that.

How is he currently accessing his property? Are you currently providing an easement access to his property? Yes or No. Is he wanting to buy land in order to provide access or does he just want to buy an easement with you retaining ownership? I'm not a lawyer, but I do know that the law provides that no one can prevent someone from accessing their property. There are different types of easements. Easements are as old as the English Common Law. If you don't currently provide an easement to his property, you are not required to provide one. It will be strictly voluntary on your part. He wants to develop his property. That's great, but it's not your problem. You may need an attorney for this. If he actually makes you an offer, I suggest you spend the money for an hour of an attorney's time to find out your rights. If you are dealing with a governmental organization, it's an entirely different issue. I did this with a property behind my home. There was an adjacent lane with access to my home and three others. There was a large amount of undeveloped land behind my property that faced another road. In order to put in a subdivision, fire code restrictions required an additional entry for a fire truck. They wanted to use my private lane. Fortunately for me, I had spent the money on an attorney to research the ownership of the lane. The Town didn't maintain it. The land belonged to no one by custom and usage. It stopped the developer from using it. He had to find another secondary entry. He did, it just cost him a lot more money. Not my problem. The point of the story is to illustrate that knowledge is power. I stopped that developer at the town planning level. It avoided a lawsuit. You should find out about your options once he makes his offer and before you make any decisions.
