Last minute drama! ๐ฑ Our original task got cancelled, but luckily, we had the opportunity to lend a hand at the amazing Tiny Forest instead! ๐ Chau and I geared up for a quick run ๐ to get there and got straight to work.
Our mission? To tackle those pesky weeds! ๐ฟ We pulled out a bunch, including one mysterious plant that had us scratching our heads ๐ค. A quick reverse image search later, and we discovered it was a sneaky mallow plant! ๐ณ Who knew they could be so stubborn? ๐ช Those roots were deep, and we were determined to get them out. We ended up on our bums a few times ๐, but at least we gave it our all! ๐ฅ
The soil, on the other hand, was looking fabulous ๐ธ! We spotted plenty of worms wiggling around, which is always a good sign ๐ฟ. However, there was one mallow that decided to put up a fight ๐ค. Even after some serious stone bashing ๐ช, we deemed it a 2-session weed ๐คฏ. Don't worry, we'll be back next week to finish the job! ๐ฅ
We managed to dash back in time before the sun dipped too low โฐ. The run back was just what we needed to cool down ๐. The real takeaway from our session? We're both inspired to start growing our own herbs ๐! Mint cocktails, anyone? ๐น
