Hello my dear community of home solutions, today I come to tell you a new experience, and it is regarding our backyard, or solar as many call it, because our home is not only under our roof, this encompasses all our comfort area where we live daily with our families, friends, pets and everything that is part of our lives, In my opinion we should not only focus on cleaning the main parts of our home, we also have to keep in good and beautiful condition the parts that are not very visible, that speaks a lot about us, do not do things to appear, if not to live them and make us a habit to have everything arranged and in good condition.
I'm not going to lie to you, I haven't always liked cleaning, in previous years it wasn't simply something disastrous, I saw things and I didn't want to condition them, now when I see something dirty, or that is not very well conditioned it makes me want to fix it, I don't know if it has happened to you that in an untidy place it gives you a certain heat or discomfort because of the same discomfort, well, that's how I feel.
This is what our backyard looked like.
This part of our yard is also a small road where we usually go in the mornings to look for avocados, cambur, and chayotas or chayotes as others know them, which is a vegetable that many people like and others do not. This is usually consumed by people who suffer from diabetes, or who are dieting, or can also be used to accompany stews or other meals.
Well this is the chayota, I took the picture after I had already started to clean it, since I found it.
These are the leaves of the chayotas that I have to be careful not to cut.
And this is the chayota vine, the truth is that I think it is very beautiful, the problem is that it expands too much.
To start cleaning I opted for a machete, a shovel, and a spade.
I also used a sack to place the weeds that I cut.
I realized that I had to be very careful because of some factors, such as not cleaning completely, since there is also planted mint, and this is very good for stomach discomfort, I had also planted ginger, cambur, and the vines of the chayotas, besides that there were plants of pica pica, well I do not know what they call it in other places, but as its name says, it itches too much, that if I had to eliminate them completely.
This is the pica pica for those who do not know it.
I started very carefully cutting the weeds, and I began to put them in the sack to make a pile and throw them away.
After cutting I touched the pica pica without guilt, and it was not one or two or three times, the truth is that I lost count of the times I touched it, because while I was cutting it was falling, and sometimes it was not distinguishable, I do not know if you have had that experience of touching that plant, but it is very unpleasant.
I started to remove it with my hand to avoid damaging the things I mentioned, but since there was no mint in the fragment where I was cleaning it.
Then I used the weeder, to avoid re-injuring myself with the pica pica plant, and to leave the area cleaner.
Then, since I had to drag the weeds, I had to look for another tool, which is the rake.
And I started to live in the moment again when the work is half done and there are a lot of things to do, but everything will be worth it in the end.
In the middle of the cleaning I found several chayotas.
After a while, the backyard was clean, and we will no longer have some obstacles to pass through in the mornings. I had not told you that it is also important to keep these areas clean, since snakes, big spiders, better known as tarantulas, hundred-footed spiders, and many dangerous animals come out here.
The green parts that I did not clean completely is because those are the plants that I had to take care of, since they are for medicinal use.
Thanks for getting to this part of the post, sometime you have to clean places like this, where there is a lot of weeds, and that there is not much visualization that there is, do it with caution as there could be the possibility of being some poisonous animal.
See you at a later date.

Qué bueno que pusiste manos a la obra para limpiar el patio, un patio con monte en cualquier lugar es peligroso puede traer muchos roedores
Saludos y gracias por publicar en la comunidad.
Si, inclusive hace como 15 días salió una serpiente,siempre tener limpio y no dejarse acumular. Saludos...
Wow que trabajos tuviste , pero que bonito patio tienes ☺️
Muchas gracias, y es un poco espacioso. Saludos...
Era bastante trabajo, sobre todo por lo cuidadoso que tenías que ser para no dañar las matas que querías conservar.
Esas chayotas están hermosas, no sabia que se cultivaban así en casa con facilidad!
Gracias por compartir
Si,de hecho aún tengo otra parte que limpiar, dentro de poco me pondré manos a la obra y les motraré el resultado, las chayotas se pueden cultivar en cualquier lugar siempre y cuando tengas espacio. ya que tienden a expandirse mucho. Saludos...
Estamos de acuerdo todo limpio es muy bonito se crea un ambiente de paz, algo que ahorita no tengo porque desde el año pasado se estan haciendo remodelaciones en casa y aun...entonces toda mi casa desde el frente hasta el patio esta en un completo desorden, porque nada hago con empezar a limpiar sino han terminado, porque el polvo, tierra, cemento llega donde quiera...si cuando terminen que creo sera esta semana que entra, vendra el operativo de limpieza profunda que hasta me provoca echar es agua directamente....
Es así, pero todo es un proceso, como tú dices, no vale la pena limpiar si aun están trabajando en esa parte, con el favor de Dios ya tocará la limpieza, y estarás más tranquila. Pero como te digo, todo tiene su serie pasos. Saludos...

Totalmente de acuerdo el exterior también es importante. Hiciste un gran trabajo y además aprovechaste de cosechar las chayotas. Que bonito patio, que bueno que cuidaste las plantas medicinales, son valiosas.
Muchas gracias, y si, el deber es tener todo limpio, se cualquier area.
