So if you’re not going to get a decent amount of money to put into savings from the sale of your old house, start putting a bit away now!.
I didn’t even make myself crazy over it.. Well, maybe just a little.still turquoise.Somewhere around the end of the school year in June, I got really really bad at taking care of things outside around our property.
I mean worse than I already was.I had no idea what I was in for with this property, and we’re probably in over our heads in a lot of areas.Not that that’s a bad thing.
I’m enjoying every little second of it and I relish the fact that I’m learning all these things now.In 30 years, I’ll have 30 years of experience and this place will be stunning.. For now… it’s a learning experience.
Still.. I’m fairly determined to get this place looking not-so-bad now that school’s back in.
This little petunia plant is one I saved from certain death by whatever bug was eating it where it was before.At the start of last year, it seemed like a pretty drastic measure to lose the use of your garden for a few years just to avoid pulling a few weeds, but by Spring of this year, we knew that was what we had to do..
So about a month ago, we covered half of our garden with black plastic, leaving us just half of it to play with this year.It’s honestly still too big for any reasonable human beings to actually fill and keep up with, so we’re just fine with it for now.. Getting the plastic was easy.
Chris picked up a roll at the hardware store for about $50 and it’s big enough to last us until the end of time.Actually putting the plastic down in a way that will last and not allow any light in for the long haul was a little more challenging than it looks.
