This morning, I was trying to identify the different weeds near my home, which reminded me of the community garden I volunteered at. It was a time when I had no direction in life. Getting to do all those farming game chores in real life was really cool. At the end of each volunteer shift, we would all have a meal made from the day's harvest. It was simple and honest; I even considered a career in horticulture.
I was often assigned weeding duty. The most satisfying weeds to deal with were the bulbed oxalis. They have really cute heart-shaped leaves. Removing them felt like detective work: you have to follow its winding thread-like root, careful to not break it and lose the trail, until you eventually reach the culprit - little nutrient-stealing bulbs hiding deep beneath the earth. The root sometimes goes as long as my arm!
I eventually stopped volunteering. There was just one thing I couldn't get past - the almost 4 hour commute to and from the garden. Can't imagine putting up with that nowadays.

Spring flower #2
Daisies! I love seeing a whole blanket of them across a grassy area.
Too bad they tend to be mown down. I'll never understand why people do that; a freshly mown lawn looks so boring. Plus, the sound of the lawnmower make me want to chuck a brick at it.

Spring flowers #1
These are called field speedwell. The ones with purple flowers are called scrambling speedwell, and white ones are turf speedwell. I found out their names from here
I've always found these flowers super cute. But they're easy to overlook since they're so teeny.
