Wading Through The Undergrowth
Hello everyone,

It has been another busy day in the garden. I have been pruning back various plants that have been growing out of control and I decided it was high time I weeded the pathway behind the poly. I thought I would take some before and after photos so you could see the transformation. 

Behold the overgrown jungle...

So overgrown there was a volunteer swap grass growing in the middle of the path which I have since dug out and relocated! I have certainly overlooked this area of the garden, but I fixed that today.

Say hello to my newly revealed path!

I'm so glad I cleared that out, I can finally walk down there! I have also gained a free ornamental swamp grass, now to decide where to put it...

I hope you enjoyed seeing what I've been doing in the garden today. I'd love to see your latest gardening posts so please link them in the comments! Happy gardening :)

Thanks @sallybeth23 - I agree it was super satisfying to get it cleared. It's a whole new world back there! Those plants sure grow quickly - they are near a constant water source which is why the swamp grass does so well. 

Thank you for resteeming!

I love the shot of the overgrown jungle, it looks so lush and full of life.

You did a great job clearing the path, I would never of guessed it was growing out of control if you didn't show the first 2 shots. The ornamental swamp grass looks nice potted, I hope you find a good spot for it to be!

Haha yes indeed, I had almost forgotten there was a path there too! It wasn't used very much and then when the plants grew over obviously not at all. That's all changed today :)

I am sure there is a vacant spot somewhere for the grass to go, I might keep it potted so it can be moved easily!

Thank you @digitaldan! It took a few hours but I got there in the end. I am waiting for my plants to progress a bit before posting a poly update, you can see my last poly post <a href="https://steemit.com/homesteading/@gardeningchef/4ysgm9-garden-update">here</a>  :)

Haha I'm glad I'm not the only one needing to do weeding - would love to see your veggie garden when it's ready to be shown :D

Oh, I stand impressed with your swift progress!

How gratifying to be able to see the fruits of your labor come together and to get a bonus ornamental grass plant.

Gorgeous job!

Hey @dswigle! It was extremely gratifying to claim back this lost area of the garden. Tidiness brings me peace, so it was a relaxing activity despite the hard work involved. 

Thank you for stopping by, I hope you are having a great day :)

Hi @gardeningchef I love your post. I also love gardening. 

It gives me such a lift seeing a well manicured lawn and bright flowers on exotic shrubs. Let me share some images here with you : )

Hi @gardeningchief Thanks for your kind words! I just love gardening and it means so much to have someone else who shares a similar passion to compliment my effort. Hope we share more in future :-)
