Arrived at Mr J ground floor flat in Islington from my 1st mission. Islington was full of Gooners who were out in the streets or on their way to the stadium to see the Woman's Champions league match against Lyon. Mr J was grateful to get some help on a long Easter week end. The garden was taken over by weed. He said that if i had time, if I could start to dig and overturn the right hand part of the garden. He did say that he had external help a long time ago with 2 sessions and 2 people at a time. He presently me with just one black bag!!Normally you are given several bags or green waste bin, but you would say that one bag would never make the deal. When you see the size of the bag, you would not be worried : the bag was so big and strong. I probably could have put myself in it. The strimmer had seem better days and was all dried out and had a colony of spiders with their cobweb network. After 90 minutes I got rid of most of the weed, dead plants, dried grass and unwanted plants in the garden. Started to dig the soil too but ran out of time. Big bang and the massive bag was full!!!That's my spot said the weed, but for me it was in the bag for Mr Weed.

2 sessions with 2 people at the time... sounds familiar. That garden looks familiar too ;) Nice work Steph!
