By "clean" do you mean "killed and removed" all the plants?

Good work. Now if you can find an old photo of when he built it for a third panel, that would be cool. 8)

How did you do that in 50hrs? Amazing job.

6 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Just curious. Did you track your time? I'd presume 30-40 hours were spent just cleaning it up.

I do shit like this for a living. If you weren't in shape before taking this on, RIP your back fam.

Definitely keep getting excited over that, it's a great thing!

Don't downplay your effort. A clean apartment will help you stay mentally calm.

For those unfamiliar with gardening — that right there is an enormous amount of work. Hard to believe it took only 50-some hours.

not just hard work, but where did they take all of the debris? it's not finished until you get rid of all of the junk you cleared!

Been hanging out forever planting. When are the wife options going to start dropping by and showing interest?

6 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

When you start picking the weeds, and 20 minutes later you realize, that your 120 Liter container wont be enough for it!

BTW, great thing is to pack weeds in a big black plastic bag, and leave it on the sun for couple of days, will compact a lot! then refill.

To be fair it wasn't _that_ terrible to begin with, but it certainly looks a lot better now.

It was atrocious to begin with.

6 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 1

It really wasn't. It was akin to a Capability Brown project in comparison to some of the gardens I've been unfortunately landed with.

Have you ever done yard work? Doesn't sound like you have

6 years ago | Likes 34 Dislikes 4

An odd claim, I doubt there are many who haven't. I could share a pic, but is that any "proof"?

6 years ago | Likes 9 Dislikes 3

To be fair that's mostly just a bunch of potted plants.

What plants are you growing in the lower left corner?

6 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Sunflowers, this is how they turned out:

6 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Lovely. I haven’t grown them so I didn’t recognize the leaves. Very nice.

6 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

I wouldn't say that is a comparison

6 years ago | Likes 11 Dislikes 0

Ah.. but the question was whether I had done any yard work, not the amount. It's clearly not my entire garden either.

6 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 1

Potted gardens and full on yard work don’t compare

6 years ago | Likes 7 Dislikes 0

Here's a thought, perhaps I didn't actually show my entire garden in the image. Shocking I know, but go on.. indulge me.

6 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 2

Then to answer your original question, no that picture alone is not proof

That looks like concrete

A yard has to be grass? Xerascaping? My neighbors literally dug out their lawn and put in concrete. It's still a yard. I.e. "courtyard"

6 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 1

So we are not longer debating over whether I've done yard work it's now a case of how much? Good, good, one step closer.. :)

It's a reference from a TV show called Letterkenny. The show jokes about the statement 'to be fair'.

6 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Ah, right, I was wondering why the comments. I know the show, not watched it. Thanks for the info though. :)
