The Green Thumb Visiting a Flower Garden

Hello everyone! Wow, another week is finally here! February is  quite a not a boring month. There are a lot of things to do especially at home. My days are always busy inspite staying at home all the time.  I wish spring season is around the corner because I am already quite excited to see the tulips in our garden. It is not a long wait anymore because in a month or two,  I will surely be seeing my flowers  in our garden.

This is only one good thing because when I really get  bored, which is  seldom to happen, I always look at the flowers in  my photo albums. If not, I also drive to the nearest garden center. Sometimes, I bring home flowers with me but most of the time, I don't really buy one. Our home is already full of  plants and decors. Every window has  plants and decors on it.  Except when it is spring  or summer,  I cannot say no to buying flowers.

Lovely bromeliads at the garden center. One of the flowers that I love.

One things I love doing when going to a garden center is to take photographs of the different flowers inside. I am glad that even the saleslady or salesman who caught me taking pictures would just say nothing. I am always happy coming home when I am done visiting a garden center.

Shopping Wishlist for Our Garden

Good day everyone! Another sunny day is here! I can truly feel the spirit of spring time! I will be hitting our garden this week since the weather is getting very friendly now. Hubby also took some vacation leave days to help me in the garden makeover. I am also planning to buy more garden accessories. I already have some but I want some new and styling ones. Last year, I spent some hundred Euros only for my garden stuffs. I am quite excited for the coming weeks especially when everything will be done.

a very nice garden figure I found in a garden center the other week. I am planning to buy it once our garden makeover is done.

My shopping wishlist for our garden this year is quite a myriad. I would be happy to buy garden baskets since I don't have it in our garden. I also want some new flower pots. Either a zinc one or a ceramic is fine for me. A solution for a rainy season is a new mud hog. This is good especially if it gets muddy and this Mud Hog will help us scrape off the mud before going inside our house. It is also very easy to clean. Ours needs a replacement because it is already old and dilapidated.

What's else do I need in our garden? I believed I have a long list. I also need to buy some flowers, gardeners half apron (I have been gardening for years now but still did not have one), a bigger watering can, garden kneeler, garden solar lights, plant supports, flower stands and other garden accessories that I might need. Anyway, I am still starting to note everything. For sure this will be another fun in our garden. I am quite excited!

Have a lovely day!

Spring Time is Garden Time

Spring is finally here! It officially started in Germany last Monday March 21, 2011. I am quite excited because I already see some flowers blooming in our garden. The crocus are the first ones that are currently blooming. Spring time is garden time! It is time to slowly shop for garden accessories. In fact, we went yesterday to the nearest supermarket to window shop for garden accessories and garden furniture. The supermarket is so big that you can see a lot of goods and merchandise including house and garden decors and accessories.

garden accessories at the supermarket we visited yesterday. I love especially the shades of these garden decors.

I am also trying to look for garden ideas because there will be a garden makeover very soon. We are only waiting for plan and we will submit it for approval in the proper authorities. It needs to be approved because it is quite a big project. Actually it is the making of a garage and at the back will be a garden terrace. An architect is still working on it.

Hubby is also planning to install some lighting. I am quite excited how our garden will look like after everything will be done. I already browsed some garden ideas last week and I hope that we can finalize it before the end of the month. Spring is one of the best seasons of the year for me. You know why? I simply love flowers and I can't wait to start gardening again. Have a lovely day!

Garden Decors

We went last Tuesday in a supermarket in the next city. We did some grocery shopping. While going around this huge supermarket, I found out there are already a lot of garden decors in one of the areas of the store. I wanted to buy some but I still don't know what do I really need. We will have some garden makeover this spring until summer time, the reason why I did not buy some.
