I've made a start

Today is February 1 and I’ve made a start pulling out the dead hardenbergia. You can hardly see where I’ve been so far but the proof is sitting in the trailer. I have a pair of strong gloves and at the moment, I’m just pulling away the dead stuff. Eventually, I’ll need a saw or a pair of pruners but for the moment, it’s coming away quite easily. It’s too hot out there now so I’ve knocked off the day. Vince has been trying to lay drippers to water the five peppermint trees that are still waiting to be planted but now he has given it away too. It’s supposed to get to 36C (96.8F) here today so we might be running the A/C later. Because of our solar panels, it won’t cost us anything as far as power goes.

You have a lot of muscle work there. And definitely such hot weather is not a big help for such work. Hope you get all done.

@arunima25 Sorry, I meant I'm doing some each morning before it gets too hot later in the day.

@JudyEv Yes. I have noticed that and just as well. They need personal attention and with your kind of lifestyle it will be difficult.

@rakski I know your country gets its share of hot weather. I think it gets humid there too, doesn't it?

It's really cool that you have solar panels for your power. You did quite a bit of work yesterday.

You've worked hard under the Sun. I could do that and melt. Not really fond of such things.

I was out there early before it got too hot. I don't go out in the heat too much either.

I'll just do a bit each day and it will be done in no time. I've learnt to have patience as I get older.

@judyev that’s quite a job you’ve got there. I can only do 15 minutes at a time in the garden or my back complains vociferously.

This is okay for my back as I'm mostly upright. I only last about 5 minutes trying to plant out seedlings.

Haha - I didn't get your meaning for a moment. Yes, we ran the A/C yesterday and we'll very definitely be running it today. 38C expected today so a bit over the century.
