i havent done much gardening since the beginning of the season
i cleared the land and planted seeds and then just let them do their thing
which turned out to be a lot of things... ground cover and vines everwhere
i kind of liked it - i am sure my neighbor hated it - oh well
so earlier this month i decided yesterday would be the day to start to take it apart
i knew this would be a bit of a workout
given the continued high heat we had all summer, not only did the flowers do well, but the weeds took over too... they were coming up in between everything - the lantana, the gardenia... a bit out of control to say the least... i had been ignoring them - which also didnt help
so yesterday - i pulled most of the weeds - i have about a quarter of the front yard that still needs weeding - i want to know WHERE is the darned mimosa tree that has created all these saplings in my front yard - eeeerrrr.... i trimmed back the gardenias and some of the lantana and most of the other flowers
next weekend will be the rest of the lantana and the weeds
then i am not too sure what i will do with the vacant land - i thought pumpkins, pansies and mums could be nice
and if i make a flat enough clear enough space i could do some inflatable holiday art come december - ok that wont happen but it's good for a laugh
and as expected the backs of my legs are a bit sore today
