The Elegant Art of Casual Gardening
Written by Teresita Blanco (The Artsy Sister)
This is just the long way of saying that this is another gardening blog. I am not much of a gardener. I just photograph my flowers, replant a couple and rake the leaves. I also water my plants daily. I think I am spoiling my plants, but it can’t be helped. I am little bit distracted as all.
I am also not particularly happy. I tried racking the leaves, but I was only able to get 10 percent done. Despite this poor progress, I was able to fill an entire garbage can with leaves. The wind and the heat is causing the main trees to drop leaves. The area I just cleaned has just filled up with leaves.
I am going to try again on Monday. The garbage usually gets pick up them. The main part of the garden is the one that requires the most attention anyway. My second orchid is not close to opening around the edges. It still needs a lot of water and nutrients.
I am spacing out a bit the whole plant feeding. I think the strange bush of mine is growing rather big. I need more mulch, but brother is still not in the mood for going to Home Depot to buy it for me. I did work hard in the garden yesterday. I even got some of my skin peeled off around the edges.
It looks more painful than what it actually is. It is just on my thumb. I do not have the skin for manual labor. Some people were just not born for that nonsense. Now, I am starting to sound like my dainty Grandma. I don’t mention her like ever cause she is dead and buried.
Most of my family is in that department or they pretend I don’t exist. I am down to just two people and I am holding onto them for dear life. I am going to show you some orange flowers and some silly berries I am allowing to grow. The back garden is still a little bit of a chaotic mess.
Since it is Sunday, everyone here is just mellowed out around the edges. I am also playing a little bit Love Nikki. I have been fiddling around getting the stupid dress up app and finally did it.
We all need something repetitive and cute to pass the time. A lot of the more modern games are just not doing it for me. I can’t wait for the next Witcher to come out on the Switch. This one takes place in a futuristic world.
It was made by the Witcher people, so I assume it is going to have a similar theme. I hope they fix up the battle a bit. I think this is just about it as far as my daily ramblings are concerned. I hope you find adorable my pretty gardening photography.
