Less junk, less gunk

I was on child sick leave today. Alyssa was running a fever. Still is actually. 

Somehow I managed to spend about 2.5hours in the morning doing something I’d wanted to do for a long time. I worked on the plants in the balcony. 

I threw away at least 3 pots of plants and cleaned many of the catchment plates. Also cleared up numerous dried and dead leaves from the potted plants area (don’t know what the helper has been doing all these while...sigh). Repotted the ficus bonsai, Indian borage and byrophyllum. I topped up the soil for the pomegranate and baby aloe vera plants, and fertilized the flowering plants. And finally, I pruned the pomegranate, money plants and bamboo plant. 

That’s quite a lot done in that span of time. There are still abit more things to be done but I will leave it to another day. I can live with the state the mini garden is in now. :) 

I was thankful that Alyssa didn’t fuss too much. She helped me pick up the dead leaves a little and for the rest of the time, she was content to be pottering around the house on her own, or sitting in a chair watching me work. 

Feel much better now that the area has been spruced up. :) 

Fingers abit itchy hehe. Maybe I should get some new plants. :)
