Little Vietnam

So check it out! I think I've mentioned it before but when Landlord decided to put the house up for sale, he advertised "New Landscaping". Ric and I shrugged it off since we didn't see anything new popping up in the backyard, when suddenly there was a very soft soil back there. We discovered that fact one night when taking out the trash to the back alley, and our feet kept sinking into the ground. That's a creepy feeling.

Anyway, we guessed new landscape would follow, but it never did. Then came the rains, and then the weeds. And then more rains, and even taller weeds. It's hard to tell from this picture, but some of those weeds are waist high. I'll have to have Ric take a picture of me in the middle of it before we move, just for humor's sake.

Anyway, I'm not sure how, but we started calling it Little Vietnam. I took Pip exploring through it a few days ago, to his delight.

You know, now that I think of it that is exactly what it looked like the last two springs... just not soggy. Last year Josh spent hours spraying everything with weed killer. Thus, the dry dessert of dead weeds that it was when you moved in.

Wow...all that time trying to tame the jungle....I see the tree in the corner is gone too.

I mostly kept it tame just so it wouldn't be such a pain to take the trash to the alley...same with trimming the grapefruit tree.
