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