Lately, every time I go out doors, the extent of fresh growth every where I look is becoming overwhelming.
All the rain we have had lately has triggered an immense growth spurt. All of my bonsai are almost unrecognisable, and the garden is a jungle.
I feel so helpless, looking at it all, knowing there is no way I can even make a dent in any of it. There is so much I cannot yet do, which is only adding to the frustration. I keep trying to think of other ways I can do things and this is only making things worse.
My gardener friend is really busy right now, and doing me a favour is not on his list at the moment, so I have to try and do something.
The latest idea, is to rake out the strimmer, cut the weeds down on the path and patio, and then squirt the stumps with something.
The bonsai are not so easy. Each one needs careful pruning, and I need to do this soon, before my sister goes out there with a pair of scissors. Her idea of pruning is definitely not mine!
Another idea is to rake out the kneeling pad with the handles, and see if I can get down and back up again. If I can, I can grab a few weeds, which is better than nothing.
The good news, no more rain for a while, so maybe I will be able to do something constructive…
