Spring is in the air 🌞! Judith and Gosia met up in Wandsworth today to help Ms V in tidying up her balcony and get some of the plants 🌱🌱 ready for the season.

The balcony was quite spacious with a nice variety of flower and plants, just needed a bit of work to look fab again 💎⭐. Ms V gave us quite precise instructions on what she would like to be do so we without having too long discussions we quickly get on with the work.

We started with the biggest task, which was to move a bush (of quite an impressive size) into a bigger pot + change the soil. It was difficult to remove it from the previous pot because it looked it has spent a loooong time there. Thanks to our joint effort though (hold it! shake it! shake it!) we eventually made it 🙌.

Then, we used the remaining part of the soil to provide a fresh ground for rosemary, wild rocket and an unidentified 🤔⁉️ plant hanging on the wall. Ms V got an additional rosemary so we put it together with the others, it fitted in perfectly!

The mission would not be done without a proper sweep at the end. Ms V also had a water hose (leaking 💧🌊😂) so we used it to get rid of the sticky mud and dirt from the balcony. We packed up all the waste to a bin bag and left it outside the door as instructed.

In the end, we have managed to do all tasks specified by Ms V. She thanked us for the help and seemed to be interested in arranging next visit for another things she needs help with.
