Hehe.. it's still rather bigger than mine, though!
Oddly enough, after years of neglect the Mrs and I have finally turned our attention to gardening and I had a vanload of new sand, soil, compost and such delivered this morning ready for the holiday weekend. We are trying to grow food as well, the store prices have gone through the roof recently and whereas in the past I doubt it would have been economical it certainly is now.
P.S If anybody has any tips about how to keep slugs away from salad plants without harming them (both slugs and salad), please let me know!
Put fine sand around your greens. Slugs and snails hate sand and won't cross it.
I'd like to have a plant at home with beautiful flowers but that is easy to take care of. Any suggestions? I have the great skill to forget to water my plants and well they die.
Pretty peonies Sister Herb! I really enjoy your pics, thank you for posting.
Nebula01: I have phal orchids indoors. They only require water when potting medium is dry (for my area it takes about 1.5 weeks). The blooms last for months with the right care. Give them a try!
Sunflowers have tiny buds on the top. Their seeds are from the bird feeder - the birds didn´t eat all seeds but dropped few of them to my garden. I have to remember to leave the seeds from those sunflowers to birds at the autumn as they were their gardeners, not me.
At the evening the whole garden has fragrance of herbs, specially those whose are now flowering like thyme, mints, chamomile, anise hyssop and flowers, specially peonies (their frangrance is something between fruits and cloves). Its like walking through the parfume cloud.
I can do anything else than thank Allah about the change to have a tiny garden with so many wonderful odors.

We have suffered too much for too long. We will not accept apartheid masked as peace. We will settle for no less than our freedom.
More shark fin melons and squash in the compost bed:
With melons and squash grow also violets:
I like gardens which grow like a nature - in the wild nature too there are many different plants growing together. Plants know by themselves, which ones are suitable neighbors. Unfortunately the weeds love to grow with all...
^^ It´s a work I love to make. Not only for the harvest season but having a little green corner is nice. If I ever reach Jannah, my wish is to have a little soil, some seeds and a hoe.
