So I am having a hard time figuring out what to do with my back garden. I have put a few potted plants around to make it look a little decent but I don't think its working! There is no shade, the ground is uneven and I think I have lawn bugs, well according to this guy I have lawn bugs...he is from america, but grass is grass right?
So here are some pics of my lawn to show you that yes I do think I have lawn bugs, if anyone out there can lend a hand please let me know.
evidence of lawn bug eating my grass
another patch of grass missing!
Right so I was thinking of planting some small shrubs along the fences and maybe digging an area level to lay some pavers but I am really not too sure if I want to, this place isn't mine and I only have a 6 month lease. Maybe when I get some more money I could put the plants in pots and when I leave I can take the plants with me. What to do about the shade?? Buy a pergola and an umbrella ella ella eh eh eh for the table? Or some how maori up some sexy shade cloth off the fence? I have fairy lights I want to hook up out the back too cause it starts heating up yall me and the rube machine will be outside..."lets go outside, in the sunshine, you know you want to but you can't say yes..."gotta love the george
Anyways living in the shitsville you really do need have an awesome outdoors area so I will try and pull a green thumb out of my ass and get cracka lacking on it!
I think you definitely need a variety of large and small pots with some lush foliage and ferny looking things. Stuff the paver's. Just get a cheap shade cloth sorted and start collecting those pots. I reckon head out to the dump and see if they have some cheap ones. Then plant away :-)
Listening to...Sir Lucious Left Foot:The Son Of Chico Dusty
So I am listening to the new album from Big Boi and I am finding myself hipping and hopping along to his awesome beats. There are a lot of collaborations on the album, however I don't really know most of the peeps he is collaborating with and I dont really care cause its all good shite. This album really gets ya feet a tapping and ya booty shaking. Most played songs so far are "shutterbugg","Daddy Fat Sax" & "Tangerine". There is a little dialog skit thing about getting David Blain'd and I am really hoping that this neva happens to me eva! Totally cracked me up and caused mountain dew to come out of my nostrils! Big Boi is obviously a master, aussie hip hop take many many notes this is how the shit is done BOI!
Obession....A Spoonful of Sugar
Ok so due to man issues I have found comfort in all things sweet and unfortunately for my hips I discovered a store in the shitsville called "A Spoonful of Sugar". It should really be called a bucket full of sugar as everything in there is OTT sugar. I have only let myself indulge in the homemade fudge and have so far tried chocolate, double chocolate, turkish delight & jaffa. The fudge is soft gooey goodness that I think if everyone ate there would be no drama in the world, I mean really, chocolate really does just make you forget everything and kind of makes you say "at least there is chocolate", to all things bad. However it does have a dangerous side, for example I started buying 50g for $2.50 and have slowly been buying larger and larger pieces, I found myself handing over a $10 note this afternoon. This is not good for someone that is on a very very strict budget, do you think that the fudge makers at A Spoonful of Sugar are packing it with a sugar drug that makes you come back for more?!! I have noticed that there are regulars going back to the store at the same time as me, AND we are all buying fudge, not the boiled lollies or imported sweets etc, just the fudge! A Spoonfull of Sugar is on to something and I need to investigate further...more "research"is no doubt needed! (sorry hips)
