I don’t usually complain about things but our backyard is
really upsetting me lately. I told Paul about this few weeks ago and he agreed
that we need to do something about it. So we scheduled a weekend to work on it.
Last weekend we bought some pole bamboos, some Bermuda grass
and ornamental plants. We worked in the backyard all day just to finish the
first phase. (Actually majority of the work was done by husband because I am
not allowed to work much.) Although we still
have a long way to go, we are really pleased with what we see in our backyard
today compared to how it was.
No Photo yet. Will
update once backyard is okay. J
My husband wants to have a zen inspired garden. And because
of that I don’t have enough space to plant my herbs and vegetables. So the plan
is to plant in containers/pots. I’ve read about container gardening in other
blogs and I am really excited about the idea.
As of writing I have 2 pots of ginger, 1 pot of onions, 4
pots of onion leaves and 1 pot of dill (needs to be replanted). I also have
pandan planted on the ground. I am looking forward to planting
some pepper, potatoes, sweet potatoes and other vegetables.

It is really a challenge having so little space for
planting. But I am grateful because with the space that we have we are learning
how to manage everything. We keep things simpler today and we try to learn
about plants every day.
That’s it for today. We will share more about our progress
on the next coming weeks. J
I want to do some gardening at home, too. However, our current living arrangement doesn't allow it. I actually dream of owning a farm house where I can grow my own food! Just the other day I asked my FIL to regrow some leeks for me from the leeks I bought from the supermarket. Hope it lives! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Ms Edelweiza,
DeleteYou can actually plant on some pots and place them by the window if you do not have a lot. I am also dreaming of a farm house where I can plant all kinds of vegetables. However since I am working full time I may not manage that at this time. For now, I am setting that goal as part of my retirement plan.
Let's keep a positive vibe and hope that everything will happen soon. ^_^
