So here we go, and I hope Amba. 2 I didn’t start gardening until I was 26, starting with houseplants. I became entranced by orchids and African violets at first. I couldn’t believe that I could have flowers inside my apartment! I guess that means I’ve been gardening for about 6 years now. Clearly I have a lot to learn! 7 Apart ...

Gardening and observing nature in India's north-east. After A Long While…. Today’s Flowers/Kalanchoe →. Flowers From a Cemetery. January 13, 2013. Miniature roses bloom at a war cemetery in our city. This cemetery was established during World War II and is maintained by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. It is beautifully kept and despite being in the heart of the city, it’s serene and peaceful. Several ground orchids were in bloom when I visited the place a few days ago. Hello from north-east India!

Skip to Content ↓. All images Daniel and Stacy Tabb and Boondock Studios. Bull; It Ain’t All About Gardening. May 27th, 2008. Clearly it is time to turn my attention to the sides of the house! We’re sub-tropical, with the house facing south, so we get an almost equal amount of sun/shade on both sides…which as you know, makes our potential planting choices as wide as the ocean. Planted along the sides of the house right now are fountain grass. And this thing whose identity absolutely escapes me:. 8211; Ho...

Notes about living and gardening somewhere down in Texas. Saturday, March 10, 2012. I didn't plant any tulips last fall. I decided it was too much trouble. Here in Texas you must chill the bulbs about 8 weeks, and they are annuals no matter what you are told. (or so I thought! I really missed watching for them to appear in February, and didn't even notice there were 2 red flowers coming up around the pond. I was really shocked when I saw the red buds mixed in with the daffs and bluebonnet. I believe I do...

Notes about living and gardening somewhere down in Texas. Saturday, May 26, 2012. I love rocks.especially in the garden. We have some in back, but I have always wanted a BIG rock in the front flower bed. So.we went to the rock store and bought some. Sounds simple, huh? It was up to us. To put the rocks where we wanted them. We had no idea how to get two 300 pound rocks up a sloping yard into a flower bed! Add one bright gerber daisy to the mix and it is done. (The begonias were already in place). They ar...
