Sigh... a combination of overloaded work schedule, a sore leg, and lots of rain from storms... mixed in with a healthy dose of strong days of hot sun... well... the backyard project has gotten out of hand!

The grass looks lush I guess... one of our guest musicians was saying how lovely and spongy it was... meanwhile, I was thinking that it seriously needed a good mow and weeding... but I guess, I could look on the bright side and think that it was looking quite nice and green! But a bit further down, the weeds and other unwanted crap is also looking very lush and green, and that is going to be a pain in the arse to clear out again!

Damn it, just when we thought that we were making good steady and slow progress with the back! That said, it might only need a few days of decent hard slogging to get back in control... the bad news... well, finding those few days! I guess that this is going to be more of snatching the odd hour here and there and slowly turning it all around again!

... and I've gotten some nice new tools to help with that! A nice Banco hand saw and knife... hand for the bushes and shrubs, and maybe a thin branch or two...

... and the big prize, a decent Hoki-Hoki tool! I had read about this on gardening forums, and people swear by them as the single best gardening tool that they have ever bought! Sharp for digging straight down into soil to help with weeding... and with two edges, one sharp like a knife and the other serrated like a saw! It is like a few tools all folding into one well-crafted tool... and I've had a first go at it, and it sure beats trowels and even the tulip planter for weeding! I've loving it already!

A touch on the expensive side for a good one... but COMPLETELY WORTH IT!
