I know what you mean. I have to get help too but then I have to teach them my way. Most people that do yard work can't understand that there is such a thing as good weeds.And I have caught up again. It looks like everyone had a good and or busy weekend. Mine was busy in the garden, planting plants in the tort enclosure (some aloes etc.) I also moved two Hibuscus plants out of the corner in the tort enclosure to the middle where they will get more sun. I need to go into the vlei to get more dandelions and plantain to plant in the enclosure. I had someone come help me last weekend and they went and took out all the weeds. I had asked him to just cut the grass for me, but he took all the weeds out as well. I was actually quite upset, but did not say anything to him, as he was already having a lot of bad luck. His house (shack) had burned down and his family lost everything. Which was why he was doing garden work for me and earning some extra cash.
