October 4th
We were given a rose plant as a wedding gift, which i think was a lovely idea - i like flowers, but it’s nice to have a plant that lasts. It is growing quite beautifully at the moment:
I’m so glad i’ve taken photos of the Leucothoe Scarletta plant, otherwise i would not realise how dramatically [...]

Resumo: Hodiaŭ mi aplikis por laboro en mia urbo, kaj mi promenis en la kampojn, farinta fotojn.
So i didn’t really know what to do with myself today after my London plans were scuppered by South West Trains. For one reason or another i followed a few links and discovered a Ruby on Rails job in [...]

Resumo: Mi kulturis ĉi tiujn florojn el semo, kaj hodiaŭ ni havis visitanton al ili!
I feel incredibly blessed to think that these nasturtiums i grew from seed have flowered and are now considered worthy of a visit from a bumblebee!
This little visitor spent about ten minutes buzzing round all our flowers this morning, taking a [...]

Look at all these flowers appearing! Last week there were only two; now there are seven or eight, and i can see lots of new buds too!
I never thought i was much of a flower person; i didn’t really see much point in flowers, but these are so pretty, and make me feel happy! They [...]

I just came home and noticed this on the balcony:
I have not really been looking after the plants terribly well, so this was very unexpected! It’s amazing what a little bit of sunshine can do! For reference, here is the story so far with this nasturtium plant …
Even more unexpectedly, even the Aster [...]

I am so pleased with the way the plants are coming along, especially when i look back of pictures to see how they have grown. Sadly, i don’t think they will flower this year, but hopefully they will survive the Winter and produce really lovely flowers next year.
My mum sent me the seeds through the [...]

I was delighted this morning when i went to look at the plants to discover them not dying but actually reviving themselves rather nicely!
We had a set of Nasturtiums, Petunias, Marigolds and Asters, to grow from seed. The Nasturtiums are doing the best, thriving in their big pot. The Petunias died out altogether and i [...]
September 2nd
I have had a really wonderful day. Didn’t do much, didn’t even get dressed until 1pm! Just spent the day relaxing and taking things easy. A large proportion of it was spent fiddling with the new computer, but that is all good fun - especially when it works! :)
I watched the last Heaven and Earth [...]

Whilst i’ve got the camera out …
This is our attempt thus far to decorate our balcony. The Leucothoe Scarletta which i bought yesterday and haven’t had time to kill yet, the Nasturtiums which look as if they are desperately trying to stay alive (hopefully a big pot and a sunny balcony will help) and the [...]

I am not a natural born gardener. It would be nice if i were, but unfortunately it just doesn’t come instinctively to me. I generally rely on the supposition that the plants have a will to live whether i help them or not, and unfortunately it’s not usually the case.
Anyway, i used my £10 gift [...]
