#113 Roses

Last summer i received a gift from my colleagues – a beautiful rose pot plant. It was all blooming for almost a month and then it gradually sickened. It lost almost all of its leaves and did not look healthy at all. Then i started to change the place of the plan in the house thinking that the amount of light etc may improve things. I cut the top bits of the branches which were dry and dead. I just did not want to give up.

And here is the result – it has blossomed again!

So, do not give up. Roses will reward your patience generously.

Price: lots of patience

Duration: about half a year from a day when I considered throwing the plant away until today when it has blossomed again;

Amazingness: i feel like i have saved someone’s life. 🙂

#95 little garden

everyone needs to have a garden. If you have a house and a nice, green, spacious garden – big enough for flowerbeds, BBQs, sunbathing and plants, it’s awesome. But for those, who live in a flat or for any other reason dont have a garden, there is always a way around: a tiny garden just by the window. Like mine – it is not big at all, but it will bring a joy in the form of fresh  herbs for my meals. A small thing, but amazing. I am still waiting until parsley, basil and spring onions are big enough to use them, but it gonna be soon.

Price: 5GBP for the set of little buckets, soil and seeds;

Amazingness: your own grown food always tastes so much better;

Duration: these should last for all summer; and i can always just plant more seeds.
