this is what became of my garden gloves..
All i wanted to do was transplant this miniture rose that had been in the same pot ever since i bought it..
it was cold(read freezing), almost dark( i worked from 5 till 8.. p.m. i.e. ), i had other work to do and well.. nobody was after my life to make this mess at night.. but when gardeners start, can they stop?
So.. i’ve been absent because me and my garden have shifted.. well the garden is shifting in
bits n pieces actually… so in the course of shifting, i could not sow seeds this year so
ii pined to! But i am making up for it by hoarding geraniums (yes.. again!).. So while the
old planters reach their new home, i have about 3 big geraniums, 6 geranium seedlings and
some seeds ready to be planted.. I also have my eye on 3 ivy-leaf geraniums i saw yest at a
local nursery 
The “ger” obsession(i just noticed!) continues with me adding 4 new gerberas to the existing
ones.. The other day at my fav. nursery i noticed an “OH WOW” color which i knew i had to
have the moment it caught my eye.. The flower was still unfurling but i knew the beauty i had just discovered.. a greenish white gerbera.. even lighter then the green chrysanthemum i had last year… Call it my obsession with white/whitish flowers but there was no way i was coming home without it!
I also made my first planter-purchase in my new home yest comprising of 14 simple cement
planters(rS. 25 FOR 12″ after bargain) but it made me so super happy that i wanted to go out at night and garden..
I have also been buying seeds of cherry tomato and lettuce iceberg while eyeing some
varieties of lilies including gloriosa and lilium but i resisted as of now ( God knows for
how long though!) I am just waiting for a good deal as i also need to buy lilies in bulk for
a site..
Have been keeping extremely busy for an upcoming event.. but found some time today to visit my fav nurseries.. bought 3 Gerberas and 2 Verbenas.. resisted geraniums with grrrrrrr888888888 effort!! (dunno for how long though:P)
Will be back in action soon with pics!
Winter is my fav. growing season.. if you don’t believe me.. please take a look at these pics as proof
And while you’re at it.. come help me plant them!
Reward? A smile on your face as you leave with hands full of dirt and heart full of joy.. ok, i’ll give you credit for some b’ful flower pics too!
Also, don’t kill me if i say i still need more seed packets.. the inventory is incomplete
not much in quantity.. but worth attention def!
