5 things for the weekend 22.20
learn to knit, long lasting flowers, a home with curb appeal
I am clawing my garden back from the brink of total disaster. For the last week I have spent most of my days out there clipping, pruning, weeding, digging, and planting. It’s not done, but it is looking much better then it has for the last 18 months or so. I am also changing my approach a bit, and letting it do what it wants in some areas, leaving room for a bit of natural wildness. I no longer want perfectly manicured flower beds, and I’m happy with clover instead of grass on my lawn. It’s a great feeling!
