Lupines. Ones of the few things that are still alive because I covered them with half of a cut-off water bottle when I planted them. Now when I arrived I find them growing in this weird contorted formation, sun light deprived, amidst the weeds. I'm not sure how long they'll last, given the chance, but well....
The lupine-in-a-bottle before I pulled the bottle off. Everything else around it, ladies and gentlemen, is weeds.
A sad, sad photo of our plot (you can pick out the bottles of lupine peeking out amidst the weeds).
Our "flower plot" area. If you squint you might be able to make out a few poppies barely there. Everything else around is, once again, weeds.
This is where one of the paths used to be, and why it took me a moment to find it.
Standing in front of the plot, looking at where the other path used to be.
Thus, having emailed the rest of the club several times, thereby at least convincing, if no one else, the club president to go out and take a look at it, it was brought to our attention at the last meeting where it officially came out that yeah, everyone thought the idea of having a garden plot is cool but no one actually has the time for one. As in - no one has the time to even make it to a work day, much less being able to water and weed it regularly (and my what a lot weeding needs to be done out there in the field - it almost makes me appreciate my backyard, despite of the accumulation of weeds I find every time I go home). Therefore the motion was passed that we just drop the plot thing, and so that will be the end of that.
I just received random things that I completely weren't expecting from a GW exchange that ended weeks ago. It is so random. Pleasing, but random nevertheless.
