Gardening misery

Attached is a copy of the letter I am delivering to the gardening contractors, advising that we no longer require their services. This is particularly disappointing as they were doing so well at the beginning. Unfortunately it has now become clear that they did not carry out the work to the standard they promised. In particular their spraying to kill the weeds has not been effective, it was agreed they would spray with a systemic chemical which would have killed the roots preventing further growth for at least three months. Clearly they did not do this as the weeds have grown back to levels approaching those at the start of the contract. This has allowed a virtual plague of Mosquitoes to thrive in the circles, the very thing the Gardening contract was designed to prevent.

Whilst this is very upsetting to me personally, having thought we had found a way to keep Mi Sol tidy and move forward to make it better as time went on, we will persevere until we do find the right solution. To this end I put forward another idea to the Committee at the last meeting, which after some discussion, was approved, details of which I will explain in a later post.

Things do not always go smoothly in life ,that seems especially true on Mi Sol at times, but with dedication and patience it will improve gradually as finances and time allow.
