Mememememe | Contained Obsession

https://containedobsession.wordpress.com/2008/07/13/mememememe

Urban gardening with crutches. July 13, 2008. Well, I was tagged for a meme for the first time ever! As usual, I have waited almost a month to respond, but I am glad I was tagged. 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 ...

Urban gardening with crutches. It’s important to know where your gardener comes from. I am just another Indian-American gardener writing about her obsession with plants and gardening. I live in Tucson, AZ, which is part of the Sonoran desert. I think about plants, gardens, food, and books all day. I look forward to putting down my thoughts here. I have always lived in apartments and never had a yard and yet I do not consider apartment-living a limitation. Leave a Reply Cancel reply.

And now for something completely different… | Contained Obsession

https://containedobsession.wordpress.com/2008/07/04/and-now-for-something-completely-different

Urban gardening with crutches. July 4, 2008. And now for something completely different…. I need to be packing for my trip to Santa Fe this weekend but instead I am updating my blog. I realized that I hadn’t written about the Brooklyn Botanic (what’s the difference between Botanical and Botanic? Garden. My in-laws and sisters live in New York City, which is great for me because going to visit family includes gallivanting about NY. Yes, it smelled as lovely as it looked. We also saw alliums:. Yes, the blu...

Happy Spring | Contained Obsession

https://containedobsession.wordpress.com/2008/04/17/happy-spring

Urban gardening with crutches. April 17, 2008. As for my garden, I love it. I keep wanting new projects to do but honestly, it’s a little garden and there isn’t a whole lot to do, besides watering, fertilizing (organically), and deadheading. We do need space for our car, after all. Today I got two new succulents just because my love for succulents shows no signs of slowing down. Now we wait for the tomatoes, peppers, and eggplant to start their thing. Laquo; Sweet peas! A Tale of Two Botanical Gardens.

Urban gardening with crutches. August 3, 2008. The Impermanence of Gardening. I have also come to appreciate humidity, and soft balmy air, and not having to put tons of lotion on my naturally dry skin, because of their absence here. We’ll have to get rid of everything anyway, before we move. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. Enter your comment here. Fill in your details below or click an icon to log in:. Address never made public).

June Update | Contained Obsession

https://containedobsession.wordpress.com/2008/06/15/june-update

Urban gardening with crutches. June 15, 2008. It’s really really hot. We’ve already harvested and eaten several eggplants, hot peppers, and tomatoes. Not bad for early June. Recently I watched Greenfingers. I had noticed the name of the movie popping up in different blogs. The story was intriguing and besides, it had Clive Owen and Helen Mirren. How could you go wrong? Couldn’t they show how to create drought-tolerant gardens, incorporating different styles and varieties of plants? On June 16, 2008.

A Tale of Two Botanical Gardens | Contained Obsession

https://containedobsession.wordpress.com/2008/05/05/a-tale-of-two-botanical-gardens

Urban gardening with crutches. May 5, 2008. A Tale of Two Botanical Gardens. This will be my first attempt to review anything, but in particular, two major desert botanical gardens in Arizona: the Tucson Botanical Garden (henceforth known as TBG) and the Desert Botanical Garden (DBG) in Phoenix. T and I visited the DBG for the first time at the end of April. On the other hand, I have visited the one in Tucson frequently, in fact, I am a member. I am absolutely crazy about tiles.). TBG showcases their cou...

In an attempt to keep cranky thoughts at bay | Contained Obsession

Urban gardening with crutches. October 30, 2008. In an attempt to keep cranky thoughts at bay. It’s also a good time for more cooking, reading library books, visiting the beach, spending time with family, watching and criticizing The Food Network, updating my LibraryThing, exploring the East Coast, napping with the cats, learning how to sew, and daydreaming about what I want to do with my life. Now is a good time to distract myself from my non-garden and write about my other obsession: food. So glad to s...

Does this thing still work? | Contained Obsession

https://containedobsession.wordpress.com/2009/02/09/does-this-thing-still-work

Urban gardening with crutches. February 9, 2009. Does this thing still work? So I have not been updating my blog. Regularly, or even at all. Life was too cold and depressing for me and I did not want to whine online. But. Now I have moved to the DC area. I have an apartment. The husband is employed. I should be employed soon. And the apartment does not have a balcony or any outdoor space whatsoever! Create a terranium for ferns. Experiment with exciting houseplants. All the more reason to join a CSA.
