Green is in

I remember when I was a kid I used to plant in our little garden. I like flowering plants and those that have different colored leaves.

So when we decided to purchase our own house I specifically requested that it has a garden. Even just a small garden.

Today I’m happy to say that I have the small garden I requested. I initially planned to plant some flowering ornaments but I decided to plant some herbs for the mean time.

I planted some pandan first.  When they have grown enough I will transfer them to their pots.

Sorry no picture for now. I’ll just update this blog when I got a nicer picture from our yard.:D

~Till then.

My Own Hanging Garden

I’ve always wanted to start a garden here in the city to relax myself from the stress of the hyper world. The problem is, I don’t have a land to start with and the building I am living right now does not allow potted plants on the window. It would have been nice if we could grow some basil or rosemary.

Since my Paul and I just recently bought something to accommodate some plants, I think it’s the proper time to prepare for a mini garden. 

To start with, I have been reading blogs and articles about gardening and composting. A few of my resources are as follows:

• About
• Frugalpinoy
• Wikihow

I want to start my own with just a few plants. I’ll try planting my own basil, rosemary and bell pepper. I also want to grow some flowering plants so I will experiment on a few first.

We don’t have a yard so I’ll have some plants hanging. I’ll show you some pictures once I am done setting up.

Why do I want to plant?

• I need to see some greenery to ease the stress from work.
• I want to have fresh basil for my pasta recipe.
• I want to be able to have variety of vegetables that I can cook when I’m hungry.
• I want to decorate with fresh ornaments.
• I just want something to do when I’m not in the mountain with Paul.
• And of course, keep our food expenses low.
