It’s not an easy task, gardening I mean. Finally, we’re done trimming the carabao grass which briefly hid the concrete footpath. The grass seems to grow by leaps and bounds now that the rainy season is here. We have to trim it at least every three weeks. Even a tiny garden such as ours needs a lot of care and maintenance.
I also trimmed my gardenia shrub because it was leaning sideways. I hope it won’t be completely uprooted in the next two are three months.
I guess it is time to tackle another area outside our perimeter wall. Who knows, one of these days I’ll be able to plant some leafy greens to use in the kitchen.
Love your place and garden. 🙂

I think that your garden looks very attractive Arlene. It puts my larger and much more untidy garden to shame! So, well done you.
Best wishes from England, Pete.

Thanks lolaWi, this is where I spent most of my mornings, we have a concrete garden table and chairs adjoining the side garden and sometimes when I am in the mood, we eat breakfast here.

me too.. little by little.. good thing today i found someone to clean up the mess.. i have lots of pythus trees (did i spell it right?) and an avocado tree so there was a ton of leaves and broken twigs around plus the rain made all the unwanted grass grow so a lot of things had to be done.

I am not familiar with pythus but we used to have an avocado tree too (puro trunk na lang natira) but it died probably because of too much water. You’re right, there are lots of unidentified and unwanted grass growing here and there.

You have the talent and the green thumb to create a beautiful, inspiring landscape. I used to help my mom with her landscape from planting trees to finding her exotic birds of paradise and bromeliads. Perhaps this Summer I can help her again as typhoon Haiyan uprooted so many. Happy Summer!

Thanks 🙂 It’s rainy season here now so it is hard to garden. I used to have bromeliads too but they all died on me except for a pot or two of the sturdy kind.
