    Blowing the dust off ...

    Wow, I haven’t updated for a long time! My little girl is growing fast, about to turn six months old next week. She is in her grabbing, rolling and (only yesterday) sitting up stage. My garden, however, has suffered some neglect, which has to be rectified, once I have regained my energy.

    Back (of sorts).

    I am back, of sorts. The late nights looking after my little girl (she’s now two months young!) are taking a toll on the family: bleary eyes, grumpy temperaments. ;) Alas, because I haven’t been looking after the garden that well, it’s looking shabby and unkempt. Good news thoug...

    Finally, a journal post.

    I am back, of sorts, probably helped by the uber-strong painkillers issued by the hospital pharmacy. I gave birth on the 1st of August – Lammas! Our new daughter is doing fine, a bit of baby jaundice but I love her eyes. So big. As for the garden – well, once I recover (fully), itR...

    More water, please.

    Saith the garden, looking a little Pale under the Sun. “More water, please.” Oliver Twist won’t have Said it Better: Pouting and Quivering lower lip Of leaves and whispering Sap. “More water, please.” Forsooth! Saith the gardener, looking a little Big and green in He...

    [Not a gardening post] August 1st.

    Not only Lammas for Pagan people… But also the EDD for my baby. Yep, I am going for a Caesarean, thanks to my blood pressure (which has skyrocketed, no thanks to my pre-existing hypertension).

    Happy 4th of July and assorted non-gardening and gardening stuff.

    Happy 4th of July! Anyway, not much happening – my snake bean vines have latched onto the Malabar spinach vines. Malabar spinach vines are still flowering and fruiting away – ah, purple berries. The garden, on the whole, is a bit neglected this weekend as my daughter has been admitted...

    35 weeks and counting.

    I haven’t been around Folia for a while now. I am now 35 weeks and counting. Feels as if I am carrying a beach ball in my middle. Happy gardening!
