Hi kp, really great to meet you! There is so much joy in nurturing something and watching it grow, I love it - although there have been a few plant fatalities on my watch, I must confess...

i've just discovered your blog courtesy of nasim...and immediately drawn in by your gorgeous writing. (always good to see another australian too) i never thought i'd be one to garden - or to crochet for that matter! however as i've progressed from my bedridden days i've found just how much joy and pleasure there is in nurturing something and watching it grow. somehow it gives me

Hi Lee Lee, nice to see you. :)

I am usually chipper, it seems to be my default setting; but like all of us, some days I well and truly have my cranky pants on!

I can honestly say that you seem to be THE most positive soul I have ever encountered. How do you do it???

I've been wondering about that fridge trick Foodycat (I just deleted a typo wherein I called you 'Footycat'!) - it could be a goer. The main thing I want to avoid is having to dig the bulbs up and storing them for a season. I don't know if tulips fall into that category though, will do some research.

Hi Catherine! Will drop you a line, I still have your address, I

Hello after a very long absence! I loved your post about gardening. It is me exactly too. How many long hours I've spent "gardening with my eyes" as you so beautifully put it. The way you express things about our ME existence that I have felt but never quite articulated always takes my breath away. I would love to get back in touch but have lost your email address. If you still have

You could try the old trick of storing the bulbs in the veggie crisper, to convince the tulips that they've had a winter under the snow?

Hi Toni, lovely to hear from you. Your website is great - I had a good look at it recently. (I was going to leave a comment there but couldn't figure out how.) I like clover too, as do the bees!

nmj, snowdrops are just beautiful, and I share your tulip love. As far as I know we can't grow them here though, it's not nippy enough.

We have have many snowdrops here, and the crocus shoots are just beginning to show. I can't wait for the tulips, my absolute favourite. Happy gardening, honey... x

This was like reading about myself. Before I got sick, I didn't care at all about gardening. My life was about raising my kids and then about my job. But lying in bed, looking out the windows to our backyard, I've fallen in love with plants. I browse through books and internet sites, imagining what I'd do if I only could. I think that being sick forced me to slow down enough to notice
