Monday Morning Blues





People who can eat breakfast outside in their gardens are very lucky.  
Have a good day, everyone!

Flowers III

I took this yesterday.  The pinkish-sepia tinge I got when I put them in yellow light makes them look even more beautiful.

More Flowers!

So in my post 'My Experiments With Gardening', I said I'd explain the system we use to water the plants in our garden.

Here goes...

The system basically uses capillary action to ensure that plants get enough water to last them for a day or two.  You get special Water Smart Pots divided into two parts--one-fifth of the pot is a chamber for storing water and the rest is for soil.  The two parts are connected by a porous membrane so that plants' roots can take up water from the soil.

You pour water into the tank through a pipe attached to the pot...



...And as soon as the tank is full, excess water comes out through a small hole near the base of the pot.



Then you get these beautiful flowers....




(This one isn't from our garden--but I just had to put it in here.)





Ta-da!  

See y'all on the next post!

My Experiments With Gardening

So I was watering the plants in our garden on Sunday and thought I would click some photos.  It'd been a long time before I'd actually gone outside to get some fresh air.

Here they are!  The beauties...(I mean the plants, not the photos.  Big smirk.)



What is this called?  Weed?

Basil Flowers

Poor dried flowers

I don't know what this is either...

Roses are red...



We have a very unique watering system installed in our terrace, but more on that in another post!  Cheers and thank you for reading!
