Annual Weekly move everything from the left to the right day (and vice versa)

Death to the lychee tree.

DIE, tree, DIE

Hate it.  It drops a ton of rubbish which doesn't decompose and make itself useful.  Plus the leaves are heavy.  It took 4 industrial sized garbage bags just to hold the bulk of what was in my garden bed.  OK, it was a year's worth of leaves, but hey.  How much space would a year's worth of grass clippings take?  And lychees are just eyeballs.

Irresistible Vyvyan.  IRRESISTIBLE
But I digress and wax bitter. 

Moved two hapu'u from the left side garden to the lower garden along with the new ti plants from Yamashita Nursery.  They look very natural there - although I think that the LACK OF LYCHEE CRAP RUBBISH on the ground is subtly influencing me.

Clean for the next few seconds
Was feeling down about the upper side garden.  The new hapu'u plan is so awesome (it's better than . . . than . . . than a MALL!  OK, not a mall with a Sephora in it, but better than a strip mall with only a Starbucks.) that the scheme to stuff in a load of plants in the sun garden seemed . . . loser.  But after putting in a rock border around the sun garden, it looks much better.  Plus I shed MY OWN PRECIOUS BLOOD for that border.  OK, I didn't, but I bashed my thumb trying to drive a rock into the ground (let me just say, that this was NOT my idea - not to name names, but I live with him, and he only has 2 legs), and I have no aim.  Or maybe I do, but have target fixation.  And wouldn't everybody start a border from both ends?  Oh, yah, did I mention that I was slamming the rock BETWEEN two rocks that I had already planted.  It was a tight fit.  Extreme gardening.  X-TREME.

Imagine it before the magic was applied
But that border is mighty fine.  Someone give me a high five (to my right hand only, please).
