Okay so here's my messy yard...

My grandson true to his word, God Bless him, came down on Saturday early and got to work. I told him the mower needed a part so he'd either have to use the trimmer or come another day. Well he said nah lemme see it, he inspected it, asked for a piece of wire, which I have plenty from the hanging orchid baskets, and a pliers and wire cutter, and would you believe he got it running???!!! OMG! He proceeded and lemme tell you that freakin grass was like 7 inches tall! Or more!

Anyway, he mowed front and back, but for the edges the heavy duty trimmer konked out and he couldn't finish the edges, but I can do that myself with a battery operated trimmer we have, it's pretty light.

It's still a mess in the sense that plants have to be placed in the ground,  others transplanted to bigger planters, they're overgrown...and just general arranging of everything...*sigh*

Only problem is that we've had the fuqin, nasty Saharan Dust up until today too! I'm hoping it'll be clearing up for tomorrow cos sheeet...I need to get out there fast, it kills me to see it like that, just mortifys me!

Here's a few of my orchids and a couple of plants...
Cattleyas that bloomed last week
Staghorn Ferns and Vanda need to be moved, as the earth gets closer to the sun in the summer, that is too much sun for them and they're already starting to burn at the leaf tips as you can see...

Some of the herbs, drying up...heeellppp!
One of the corners...Palm has to be put in the earth, Kalanchoe medicinal anti-cancer plants.
Those iron table legs don't go there, just holding down the wood panel to even out the terrain there. That terracotta panel either, the Aloe Veras go in the ground etc., etc.,etc.
Another corner with an ugly palm that was here when we got the house, me no like, and that canopy my son bought to shield the shed with the solar batteries from too much direct sun. See the water mark on the ladder, the grass was higher than that! And a pot full of Snake plants that I'm planning to put in the ground somewhere, and my little lemon tree that stays right there...


Just you watch, I'll get out there at some point, hopefully this week, and I'ma make it beautiful, I have plans for under that canopy too...;) So as you can see I have my work cut out for me as soon as I can get outside, not to mention the side of the house....I'll of course post pics, gonna take a nap now, got to bed around 3 am , bad girl! xD

Who wants to come and help meeee? Lunch, (whatever you want) water, fresh squeezed lemonade, Coka Cola, Beer, wine, and other libations are on me! And a hat against the blazing sun, plus my scintillating company, and you get a great big hug at the end ;).....that's it though just a hug...don't be thinking you're gonna throw me down on the grass and have your way...uhuh Nooooo,no,no,no......weeeelllll...maybe   xD

Ta taaaah!

So I fell again...

 Wow, I'm just grateful I didn't break anything important but I think I have a fracture in situ, not displaced, in my wrist, either ...
