Under the kitchen

Under the kitchen,
originally uploaded by BrisbaneBryce.

This area, under my kitchen, used to be a mass of boxes, books, and general mayhem. Although hardly pristine, as you can see, it's clean, and you can see the concrete. After years of use as a storage area for all manner of items that didn't need indoor storage and weren't used all that often, this area is clean again.

If you look beyond the concrete, you'll see a sedge, and beyond that, an over-exposed take on the garden. I love my garden, but in the winter and spring, it is overrun by oxalis, a pretty plant, but also a noxious weed. Visitors love the stuff, since it's so green and has pretty yellow flowers. I dislike it because it takes over the garden for three or four months, dies a brown death during hot weather, and will smother almost any other plant that doesn't grow as tall as quickly. About the only good thing I can say about this weed is that it is easy to pull up.
