Sticking my hands in the dirt

My gardening passion all started, through a cup of Moroccan mint tea and boy was there no turning back. It was so flavourful and natural that I couldn't help but wonder what else was in it. Well apparently, its a huge dose of different types of mint, green tea, lemongrass and sugar. Hence that started my research on growing mint, I have normal mint, apple mint and currently starting peppermint on seeds.

Incidentally started the war on territory of the balcony with my dad. He keeps fishes for a hobby and I have to butt in with my plants to take up the much needed space in our 5 feet square space. I won myself a small little corner where I plant my tuberose and mint plants. Right now a myriad of seeds are waiting to be germinate some of which include siberian crab apple, sweet william, perfume acacia, orange jasmine, gardenia and strawberry fragissimo.

Its not so much of enjoying the fruits of one's labour but watching it grow everyday. That is the part of nature, a miracle that I constantly find intriguing and amazing. It is my small little contribution of returning to nature in this huge concrete jungle of ours. Hope you guys enjoy the site as much as I enjoy putting it up.
