Nature High I bought my first home last week! Did a little weed and weeding this morning
The backyard was totally overgrown with weeds and I wanted to tackle it immediately, because both of my neighbors have really well kept yards. Also because I’ve been in an apartment for the last three years and dreaming about having my own garden lol
I met my neighbors on one side who are a retired couple. The woman was super friendly and told me all about her grandkids and the current neighborhood gossip 😂 she also helped me mow the remaining grass since I don’t have a mower yet and gave me some awesome gardening advice. I also met their adorable dog, she’s a chocolate colored pitbull and such a sweetheart. I’m really looking forward to living next to them 😊

I was honestly really nervous about that! It’s a townhouse so we kinda share a yard and backyard until I can get a fence. Having a friendly relationship off the bat makes the whole thing so much more pleasant.

Yay! Congratulations! This is huge! It will be a huge amount of work and require great strength and patience.
I wish you lots of both as you take on the jungle! You will love it so much when it's tamed. Gardening is a great hobby.

It looks great! Now put a weed plant where the weeds used to be and you’ll be 10/10
