Back on the job after a month's break 10 months ago

The place got somewhat out of control again but I wasn’st here and couldn’t go much. Since I’ve been home, I’ve been busy in the garden weeding and mowing again.



every day 13 months ago

As i am not running at the moment, i am working in the garden instead. Its very hot but i am doing about 2-3 hours a day.

The wet season has started and i have begun planting things about.



Update 13 months ago

Actually i have changed it to two hours a day on those days when i am not running and at least 15 minutes when i go for a run.

I am really enjoying the garden now, though its hot and i get sweaty and I can only work late in the day when its not unbearable. I am never up early enough to do the morning thing.

Most of my work at hte moment is about clearing the garden rubbish that has accumulated and i am burning it off twice a week.

The rains have begun so it will be all i can do to keep up now but i have to get rid of the vine that has taken over the property adn which is trying to strangle the fruit trees and other things. Its hard on the hands.

Today i did that, some weeding – cause the ground is soft, mowing, and hauled a few dead branches up to my fire place.

I am noticing now that that even if all i do is clean this place up it will be pretty nice. Of course it would good to get everything healthy and the fruit trees producing. But even if i never plant anything myself, this cleaning up job will make it a much more lovely place.



I deleted this goal by accident earlier 14 months ago

But anyway i have new motivation and a new strategy.

It will take time but i need to get back to this on a regular basis. Now it is part of my fitness program to work in garden an hour a day for a few days a week.
