Catching Up

Gardening has taken a necessary backseat in recent months (surprise, surprise!). With the arrival of spring, and the completion of my major study load for the year, I have started heading out into the garden more often. By more often, I mean getting out there at all! Our front garden had so many weeds. I've gradually been working my way through, pulling them all out of the little pebbles. Munchkin even helps most mornings. We pop outside for a few minutes wander around, and he either perches on a knee, or sits on the stones when they are dry, while I pull a handful of grass out. He quite enjoys it, but we only manage a few minutes before bed and bottle. I had so many little piles of pulled grass and weeds scattered all through the garden bed, that it felt like it was just as messy as if I'd left the weeds to start with, so I have started putting them all in a bucket as I go. When it is full, I just do a mad dash up the back of the property to the green waste pile behind the shed. Sorted.
