surprise in the garden

 

 

every now and then, there is a suprise

first nastium sprout found this morning

some seed sowed including oregano and basil

last year, i discovered these herbs did better for me

when i sowed in late august and i was able to enjoy the

tasty herbs even during the fall

sooo, i saved some seed for later use in august when

all the plants start fading out from the garden

what are you growing in your garden these days?

red roses

 

effects of spring light

i restarted embroidery and sashiko stitches

 

 

 

ready to sow seeds

felt like early summer day

ready to sow bitter melon seed

interesting plant growing in my balcony but

not sure what it is... do you?

my mind at the moment is so absorbed by

natural dyeing and found some

usuful book at the library.

and to learn new things
