It’s been quite a busy and hectic period – work has been quite full on for the last two weeks as I need to manage a big research project on partner satisfaction. Nevertheless, I do enjoy being busy as it keeps me on the go.
On the domestic front, I’ve also been busy doing more around the garden and the house. I replaced the rotting plant that I put near the front door – I cut a stem from the Umbrella Tree from the backyard a couple fo weeks ago and plonked it into the pot. I suppose it didn’t like it even though it lasted for a while – at the end, it was getting black and it was smelling a bit funky. I bought a Ficus benjamina ‘Francis Goldstar” from K-Mart and repotted the plant into a bigger container, and then placed it underneath the windchime by the front door.
Yesterday, the ‘Acer serrulatum’ (Taiwanese Green Maple) tree that I ordered from eBay arrived at the office, so I also spent the evening planting it in the sideyard – in the spot that was made vacant after I ripped the Umbrella Tree out. Apparently the roots from Umbrella Tree can be quite invasive after the tree matures. I still have one Umbrella Tree in my backyard and I may rip it out as well next year if I can find a good tree species to plant there. Today, another tree that I ordered from eBay : Japanese Maple ‘Acer palmatum “Inaba Shidare”‘ arrived at the office, to the wonderment of my workmates since the two plants came in two consecutive days … hehehe. So, this evening, I uprooted a little White Birch tree from the backyard and planted it in the front yard to replace the one that died last summer and then planted the Japanese Maple in its spot instead in the backyard. Phew – quite tiring!
