After settling into my new place, I was pumped to finally get my hands dirty in the yard. But then I spotted this stubborn old stump just chilling in the middle of my future flower bed. I figured, how hard could it be? Grabbed my shovel, dug around the base, and realized it was way more work than I thought. Instead of giving up, I kept at it—cutting the roots with a saw and rocking the stump back and forth. It took a few days, but the feeling when it finally popped out was unreal. My arms were sore, but my garden was ready for new life. Sometimes, a little patience and muscle is all you need to turn a roadblock into a win. gardening #diy #yardwork #happygardener #gardening #diy #yardwork #happygardener
