"You've got tanned,” my colleague told me. “Did you go on vacation?”
Well, just one hour of removing weeds – I’ve got to be careful….!
Before it gets too hot, I really need to do something to control the
weeds in the garden of my second house. Weeds are very strong, to the extent of making me philosophical. Even after I spread pesticides that should work
for the next six months, in theory, vines and chameleon plants are thriving.
Even under the anti-weed sheet with no sunshine, weeds grow and push up the
sheet…oh my God. It’s only two weeks ago when I removed all the weeds...
Time to create an English garden, if not the Kensington Gardens in which I used to take a walk. I mean, I really need enough
gravel to apply pressure to the weeds, and hopefully, to create a path like the one in an English
garden around my house.
I calculated 80 more bags containing 10kg of gravel in each would be needed, and
ordered them. Then I wondered…who will do all the work?
Googling pictures on English gardens make me excited, even though
applying some ideas to my garden would mean an identity crisis with the
Japanese garden my mother arranged. But I love the gravel so much that I
decided to create my own English garden by taking advantage of it.
My acupuncturist advised not to do that, saying my muscles would
ache all over.
This might be a bit dangerous idea, but I cannot stop fantasizing to
create my own ambitious English garden by the end of this month.
