don't you just love a garden? especially in the summer time, it serves as an instant de-humidifier. two months ago, i have started a wee garden in our balcony. i planted some tomatoes, green peppers, spring onions and some dill, parsley and chives. i also have one lovely lavender and of course, our beloved bonsai, Alejandro (the mister named him after Lady Gaga's song). now, i am happily anticipating our first fruits! the tomatoes have started flowering and yesterday, the mister found the first teeny tiny green tomato!
my mother is a green thumb and i never thought i'd follow in her footsteps but i guess i now know what she tried to teach me when i was a little girl; that tending a garden teaches you how to take care of something. to give it lots of love and attention and you will be rewarded with 7 times what you have given it to. thanks ma!
in all the excitement (and patience!) of tending a garden, i have been on the lookout for anything that i can use in our little plot of "land". I was so overjoyed then when i saw this beribboned pair of gloves from Gloveables in one of my favorite thrift shops. they have this rubbery smell that never fails to get me high when its time to tend my garden.
at the back of the label, i love that it has this message: "Use of this product has been known to cause laughter. Guaranteed to class up your day." Just my kind of gloves :)
