Overgrown: January 26 2025

Mom's Overgrown Plants

First, I've got to say that I woke up recharged and full of energy as I had a well-rested sleep last night. My blood pressure spiked yesterday until last night, and my headache was too bad. So I put a DND on my phone, which apparently was the key to a good sleep. No phone alerts, no wakey-wakey in the middle of the night. Yey.

So I let this little buddy out as usual so he could do his morning business. Then I noticed that the plant badly needed watering. And yes, weeding, trimming, and repotting.

5-year Overgrowth.

My mom had a mild stroke in 2019. Since then, she has not regained 100% of her old strength back. She's not able to tend to her plants as she used to.

She used to have a lot of potted plants. Unfortunately, most of them are now gone, after getting blown over by storms over the past years.

Whatever were left were practically left to tend to themselves. Lol. So we can say that they're the "tough bunch". Survivors. 😂

Today's mission was to clear these overgrown plants. The plants had self-propagated in their pots until there was practically not much soil left.

The irony of it was that even if we were in the province, I found that I was running out of soil. You see, our front yard is fully cemented

I had to go on several trips to our vacant lot to shovel some soil in the empty pots.

Dang, they were heavy!

The sun was already high up when I decided to stop. My kittens were already complaining. I had to still cook breakfast

Mom's happy with what I achieved with her plants so far. There are a few more pots that need to be trimmed and replanted.

That's for tomorrow. Fingers crossed, I will get a restful sleep again tonight, and feel great tomorrow for this task.
