Hello everybody! I hope that all of you are having a wonderful weekend so far. My days have been a little too filled with stress lately, and that is why I got into a weird cycle of procrastination, playing a lot of video games, eating a lot of junk food, and working, working, working.

Yesterday I got the day off so I decided to take care of a little bit of my garden because it has been a few days since I didn't do anything there and there were a couple of things that I needed to take care of. Maybe because of the stress or perhaps I was trying to rush things up, the truth is I made a big mess, and it is funny now but yesterday I was not very happy about it, lol.

Every time I go to make something in the backyard Pauchi is so curious and he just loves to stay with me and supervise my doings, to later go on his own whenever I am sleeping or busy and make a mess where I was working.

The first thing I did was to separate the strawberry plants from the coriander because as I told you before, I planted a lot of strawberries but out of nowhere a couple of coriander plants started to germinate, and they got to be very close but the coriander grew faster, so I transplanted each in separate pots and so far they have adapted to their new place and both remain alive and well.

I started to dig in a rectangular space of around 1 m long x 50 cm wide until it was like 20 cm deep. In the place that I was digging, there was a flower that I placed there a few weeks ago, but since that place receives the sun directly for about 3-4 hours in the morning and until midday, apparently that doesn’t suit her too much because the plant was starting to wither, so I decided to take it from there again to a pot on her own under the shadow of the tree of the neighbors´ backyard.

Digging, I found an old coin that, given the value, surely has been there for more than 10 years, so It was funny.

I also discovered a new palm tree seed that had been germinated amongst the basil and I did not notice before until I got everything that was in on that flowerpot and I saw it. It is so beautiful, and I decided to plant it obviously and now I am taking care of it and I hope that lives because I love palm trees and I am trying to have a big one.

My tiny tomatoes and basil plants were the ones I decided to place where I was digging, and that is when the big disaster came to place. You see, I did it weirdly, because instead of digging small holes to place each basil or tomato plant, the big rectangular-form place I dug was just there, like a big hole, and I did not have enough soil to cover it entirely.

I had tons and tons of small tomato and basil seedlings, and as I was trying trying to take them out of the small flowerpot where they have sprouted, by accident I destroyed some of the plants, the roots, and then when I wanted to place the on the new place, I wasn't careful enough and it was quite messy. Anyhow, I tried to cover each one of them with a little bit of rich soil, and despite standing there in irregular and weird ways, they were there. I proceeded to water them after finishing.

I still do not possess a watering can or at least a professional one, so I made one myself from a recycled plastic bottle that I had bought before. With a hot piece of thin metal, I pierced the lid of the plastic bottle many times, and voilá, a watering bottle that does not hurt the plants.

Yesterday it was a windy afternoon and I was afraid for my small basils, and I thought I had screwed but today when I checked them, most of the plants were still there alive and steady, so I guess they might survive and develop properly as I wanted by the end of the season.

As always I thank anyone who might get interested in my post and I want you to know I deeply appreciate the time that it took you to stop by and check it, I send regards and best wishes.

César.
