Uta’s Diary, September 2016

Yesterday we bought a few things for our backyard.

We  already planted somef things in these boxes. We  may also use some pots for more planting.  At the moment Peter is still struggling to remove  some spread out roots of the camphor laurel tree. The main roots we had taken out by the people who removed our three obnoxious trees from our backyard. The far away roots of the camphor laurel tree are very, very thick. They lifted up some of the earth in the backyard. So Peter took it upon himself to try and get rid of some of them. They are so very hard. Peter thought maybe a chain-saw would do the job better than his little axe. So he bought one yesterday. Sadly, he found out, it does not work very well. He still has a hard time cutting through these roots.

There is one little bush left that stood near the camphor Laurel tree. It is cut back a lot, but perhaps may come back again.

Once we have levelled the area sufficiently, we may try out some of that grass.

Whenever we do some gardening,we do only a bit at a time. We cannot do too much in one day, otherwise we get too sore. After a couple of hours, we usually feel, that we have to stop.
