  • Welcome back to another episode of Getting Things Done in which I declutter, clean and reset the back deck, including installing a new cantilever umbrella and finally get around planting vegetables and treat my roses.
    Enjoy!

    The deck is looking really nice. I think removing the coco railing covering makes it look so much neater. The new addition of the parasol will really add to your evening dining experience. Your garden is looking good, you have so many beautiful plants. With the rose bush that isn’t doing well, hard prune it back to about a foot from the ground, spray it with rose feed such as ‘miracle grow’ and it will re-sprout. This always worked for my mum’s rose bushes.

    You did so much work in your backyard! It's incredible. le Chiffre looks really good, love to see her rolling around in the grass!!!
    I have neglected our yard so much but I have made it a top priority to take care of it and pull so many weeds, there's grass growing in all the flower and perennial beds, it needs new mulch, years of neglect but I will get it back!! Foot by foot! Yes, we do mow the lawn sometimes two times a week and it looks ok, but not ideal. I want an oasis, not an eyesore lol

      Plants that come back every year are perrenials. Annuals are just for the year or season. Eggplants are annuals. There aren't a lot of vegetables that are perenials some herbs and salad types are. But most, you need new ones every year.

      European women move quickly to get the job done. They do everything on their own unless they face a job that may require extra assistance. My mother came from Ireland and raised 8 kids and did not ask for help. She kept busy doing projects until she was in her late seventies and needed the help of my brothers. Sophia is so inspiring!! Let us get the job done without outsourcing it.
