Greenthumb

Actually, I've never been much of a greenthumb myself but now that we're moving out I figure the small courtyard area we actually have should be kind of tidy! So on holidays a couple of weeks ago I was out there with the weed spray and went CRAZY! Hmmm, not sure if that's really called "gardening" more like "weedocide" (like genocide but with weeds). So this weekend has been the weed killing aftermath. I've uprooted all the weeds along the path, the paved area, the rocks and the soil area and while I did kind of kill the few plants that once lived there, I'm hoping that the weeds won't come back too strong before we move out so that my greenthumb days can begin in our new place that actually has a nice garden. In fact, I've already got a Japanese Maple tree all ready to plant when we arrive. (If you go to the picture a few blogs back, I want to put it near where that bushy thing is near the window on the right.)
A successful weekend had by all - except for the weeds (and the snails - I have it in for them too!).

You rock my darling daughter,
Wish I had been there to help you. That's what I call getting organized. AND I'm excited to hear the maple is still alive (I think that's a miracle in itself).

Lovingly your Mum xoxoxoxxo
