Last minute drama! ๐Ÿ˜ฑ Our original task got cancelled, but luckily, we had the opportunity to lend a hand at the amazing Tiny Forest instead! ๐Ÿ™Œ Chau and I geared up for a quick run ๐ŸŒŸ to get there and got straight to work.

Our mission? To tackle those pesky weeds! ๐ŸŒฟ We pulled out a bunch, including one mysterious plant that had us scratching our heads ๐Ÿค”. A quick reverse image search later, and we discovered it was a sneaky mallow plant! ๐Ÿ˜ณ Who knew they could be so stubborn? ๐Ÿ’ช Those roots were deep, and we were determined to get them out. We ended up on our bums a few times ๐Ÿ˜‚, but at least we gave it our all! ๐Ÿ’ฅ

The soil, on the other hand, was looking fabulous ๐ŸŒธ! We spotted plenty of worms wiggling around, which is always a good sign ๐ŸŒฟ. However, there was one mallow that decided to put up a fight ๐Ÿ˜ค. Even after some serious stone bashing ๐Ÿ’ช, we deemed it a 2-session weed ๐Ÿคฏ. Don't worry, we'll be back next week to finish the job! ๐Ÿ”ฅ

We managed to dash back in time before the sun dipped too low โฐ. The run back was just what we needed to cool down ๐Ÿ˜Ž. The real takeaway from our session? We're both inspired to start growing our own herbs ๐Ÿƒ! Mint cocktails, anyone? ๐Ÿน
