Little Rant

keladry_lupinI hate gardening.
I hate the bugs, the dirt, the trash, the bugs, the backaches, the bugs, the headaches, and the dirt. And those blasted bugs. If I had my way, my patio would be completely paved -- I have a dinky 3' by 6' plot of dirt in an otherwise paved patio, and the weeds grow to waist-high overnight. My landlords, for reasons unknown, have decided that having a creeping plant outside the fence is a good idea. The creeping plant slinks in under my fence and is currently trying to grow into my flat. I'm going out now to trim it all back, before Audrey II shows his ugly face.
I just need to haul some sand from the beach and spread it over the dirt. The sea salt in the sand would keep anything from growing in there, and a few well-placed stones could turn it into a sort of Zen garden. (But I couldn't let my cats wander unattended out in it. Ew.)
*donning the gardening gloves* Well, I'm off to do battle now. Wish me luck, and if I never post again, remember me fondly!
Edit, half an hour later: Forget the gardening gloves. Does anyone have a HazMat suit I could borrow?
