Rather than wandering around aimlessly wondering what I’m going to cover next on my blog now that the Olympics are over – which, to be honest, I have been doing – I realized it’s nearly time to get going in the garden. Thank goodness! Another project to work on! Last year my garden was a complete bust. I somehow managed to grow zucchini vines but no zucchini plants. Crazy. And since I’m being honest about stuff, I started avoiding the front yard altogether due to the neighbours in the house with the crappy backyard. Since their house was so tiny, they spent the majority of the summer out in their front yard, which then led to them asking me questions about every plant in their yard and what to do with them. Pretty soon I just didn’t want to be out there. Who could possibly want to? Hanging out with my dumb old zucchini vines and answering questions about why the hydrangea plant in their yard had died. Which it hadn’t, by the way. It was just a dead flower. The plant was perfectly fine.
But it’s a new day and, in a surprise move, the owners of the tiny house with the garbage backyard (including a spare toilet) have finally mowed down the house, the sheds AND THE FENCE! Yay pudding! I am so happy to have to listen to construction noise for the next 7 or 8 months as they build the new house. And I’m pretty sure the construction workers will NOT be asking me about the rose bush. And if it’s dead. And if I could please come take a look at it.
