Once upon a time - when I was a child - there were lots of trees of heaven growing downtown. There was a little princess (meaning me) who played under the trees of heaven without any worries. The old emperor's castle (my grandpa's home) was surrounded by those trees, but he never thought of cutting back any of them. He knew that his small princess would cry if he would do that. Read More
I'd like to enjoy all the plants in my garden, although I know this isn't possible. Read More
Sometimes I have a revelation of how to solve a problem I've had for years. It usually happens by chance, not by thinking, as I'm not so good at that. This is how I made the white flies disappear from my conservatory, purely by chance. Read More
I've worked a lot to make my small grapevine grow and fruit more and more grapes. And now, to let the starlings eat it? No way! Read More

I remember seeing this yellow thread, wrapped around some plants, out in the field. Later I saw it on a TV show about plants, where they were warning people about what a bad, parasitic plant cuscuta is. Read More

Store shelves are filled with all kinds of vegetable cans, from tomato juice to pickles. Any canned vegetable I'd like to buy, it's there! Yet, every fall, I'm canning the usual pickles I've been preserving for years and, further more, I make other cans which I never did before. Am I crazy or what? Do I like to tire myself out just for fun? Obviously not and I have my reasons to do that - the most important, is my family's health. Read More
Every time I eat a cucumber, I cut the end and put it on my forehead. You may think it's silly, but my grandma always said it's for the headache. And I think it's cute and fun! Read More
If you find your ditch lilies crushed and flattened to the ground, into a small crate, then you should know it was your dog searching for a cool place! My Minnie showed me this new use of the ditch lilies, which I have never thought about. And I call myself a gardener! Read More
