Gardening in other forms

Dear Family & Friends

I don't go out much in the garden these days as it is cold but I terribly want and miss gardening. I've brought some of my vulnerable plants in pot indoor for protection..and didn't resist sowing more seeds in pots indoor. perhaps it's too early for that! More on that next time.

gardening in pots

Gardening can be done in so many forms and ways. We have a good size garden at home and I enjoy growing our own food every year...but if you are limited with space...I've seen people growing lots of beautiful things in pots too! That's just as good.

There's the idea of hanging up plant pots to get different dimension or even gain extra space.

All of these photos here were taken during our visit to the old town in the city centre. In fact, they are shops and public buildings. Now, take a look at the succulent plants they planted on the edge of the roof tiles. Isn't that clever?

some plants can grow on very little soil in between roof tiles!

Some plants can tolerate the cold winter while others can't. By growing them in pots, you can protect  and bring them indoor during the winter. Once the weather warms up again, they can go out and join the rest in the so called garden.

For this winter season, I'm taking the opportunity to get inspiration, and am doing lots of planning for my next year's gardening work. There's also lots of other handiworks of interest to get into.

Hope you are finding some good inspirational things to do - to cheer your day too. Wishing you a lovely day.

Yours
