Remember the rare plant that produced 5kg fruits that no-one knew what to do with? The one that was taking over my garden? Well, when I came back after a week away, I discovered it was trying to take over the garden next door too. Obviously ours wasn't enough, it was set on world domination.
Our landlady decided enough was enough and sent the gardener round this morning. The punishment was severe.
Our rubbish bin is now filled to the brim with chopped up plant, and the "garden" is back to its original gravelly self. I was pretty upset, especially when I saw the feeble attempt at adding greenery to the place. This grass looks like weed that's been pulled up somewhere else and dumped in this corner.
She had also given orders to destroy the papaya tree which had sprung up a little too close to the house - we think our handyman had one for lunch one day and threw the seeds away - but the gardener showed mercy when he noticed there was some fruit growing on it so we have that to look forward to.
