Hello! Today I woke up early and worked on a small flower bed that was overgrowing with weeds.
The great thing is that before I started to add potted plants, almost nothing had been planted on purpose in our garden. The only plants that grow in the ground have deposited themselves in this flower bed. So today I removed the weeds that did not look good, and left the weeds that did. I also added some fresh soil, to create the impression that the flower bed was ‘planned’.
In reality I simply removed the weeds that looked conspicuous, and left the ones that looked pretty. At the very end I added a few sunflower seedlings and tada! my low-cost no frills flower bed was ready.
To conclude the whole experience our neighbours’ dog ‘Bruno’ came into the garden and inspected everything I’d done with interest. I hope Bruno does not step on the sunflowers, but hey, he lives here too.
