Welcome! I am a stay at home mum of two gorgeous boys, proud owner of an online handmade store and an avid gardener. This blog records most of my gardening journey over a few properties. We have recently moved to a new permanent property and it's time to start gardening again! I enjoy time-out in my home garden looking at and photographing birds, insects and plants. It is also a haven for my sons and golden retriever. May you enjoy your visits here. :)

Lots of Showers! Another 300 Litres!
Showers these few days...collected 300 litres again - front and backyards combined! Just right when the previous batch of collection was almost finished! Okay, I dont want anymore rain.
The peach tree on this rental property has already put on new buds, dripping with rain water.
Are these clover or chickweeds? They are growing very well. I wish I have a goat. It will surely eat up all these for me.
The two rosemarys grown from some roadside cuttings...doing very well putting on new shoots but this specie has very fine leaves.
One (below) of the three pots of rosemarys propagated from the original plant. This one has not got any powdery mildew and putting on new shoots. Somehow I love propagating rosemarys because I feel a sense of achievement when I succeed as they are challenging to propagate.
I have forgotten to cover my vietnamese mint/laksa plant but well they seem to not mind the cold rain and cold nights. They are the easiest to grow in my garden - root easily, steady-growers, non-demanding and pest-free.
The lone spinach (below) has put on more leaves...slowly.
The snow pea seedlings are getting a little sunshine here and there this morning. With the rain, I can only open up the covers in the morning and replace the covers in the evening.
Likewise for the oriental radishes. I open their covers in the morning.
