Is it summer already 🌞πŸ”₯?! Joanna, Sarah and Gosia met up in Wandsworth today to help Mr and Mrs V with some weeding and trimming in their small front and back gardens 🌱🏑.

As from the hottest April ever can be expected - it was very warm and the sun was shining bright on the sky making everything around us look colourful and beautiful. Even the weeds had their own greeny charm 🌾😊.

Mrs V gave us few instructions on what she would like us to do, provided with forks, spade and a pack of waste bags. Fully informed and equipped we were ready to go ✊.

We started with the back yard and our task was to deal with a quite big army of weeds growing in between the plants. There were few especially stubborn ones, but in overall the operation went very smoothly. Result = 4 x waste bags full of weeds. While we were working, Mrs V offered us drink which really helped us survive the heat🌑.

Then, we moved to the front yard and had pretty similar task to do. Sarah and Gosia were working on deweeding the main garden bed. In the meantime, Joanna took care of a little brave tulip ⚘ growing on a side, completely alone between a bunch of pesky weeds 🌱🌱🌱. Our hero β™₯️. Result = 2Β  x more waste bags full of weeds. Before leaving we did a bit of brooming and general tidy up in front of the front door. Voila!
