If you were to ask me right this minute for tips on proper gardening care, I'd surely hesitate before answering. That's because I have limited, if not zero knowledge of gardening!

I used to enjoy having a garden at home when living with my parents but we had a gardener to look after our garden; ensuring proper garden landscaping to keep thing looking pretty at all times. At one point, we even had a small play-house for my sisters and me to play in. The play-house was nothing like this pretty summer-home (pic below) but it was just as cosy. It was small, tidy and spacious enough for the three of us to eat lunch inside.


Since it's condo-living for me at the moment, I do not have the luxury of owning a pretty garden. But when and if I finally have my own green space, I'd definitely want a small pond somewhere within my garden. I'd add a bench or two for relaxing purposes and my pond would be secluded by well-trimmed hedges and pretty scented flowers to greet me each time I take a stroll in my garden.

My cats would love it too of course and I'd ensure proper fencing around my garden so they won't be able to escape. Most importantly, I'd have to hire a gardener to keep things spic and span. I'm no gardening expert so let's leave it to the pros to keep my garden pretty always. Only then would I have the perfect well-kept blooming garden of my dreams. And perhaps, only then would I have the confidence to answer all your gardening questions without hesitation!

i am always dreaming of having a house with a great landscape outside... i find it so relaxing /....
just like the house in the picture, it is small and enough to accomodate few people but you'll never realize it because the lansxape outside is taking more of your attention
have a great day Mariuca and happy blogging
haha.. satu geng.. ! kumpul duit beli rumah bawah lagi best.. baru boleh buat garden..
still got... but at my parent house..
:-D :-D :-D
Maurica, i also do not know about gardening. I think i have a hot hand temperature that can kill plants.
I think i need to become a gardener because i have my new house and back yard and all. i am in for a lot of work LOL ;)
Mariuca,
I really love gardening.
I want to make it as green as possible.
By the way, Hope you don't mind if I follow your blog. this is one way to keep in touch.
Hello Marzie,
Today black out for quite sometimes so I cannot come to the computer!
Oh! I love your pic of the playhouse, make me want to go back to be children, kan you and LadyJava dah tau one of my characters is just like kanak2 ria. still like to play alots, hehehe..
Now talking about gardening, I pun tak pandai, my late mum used to have green hands, apa aje she tanam, semua subur!!
I like to suggest to you both, you and LadyJava, both of you tinggal kat apartment kan, I pun if I move back to KL pun akan jadi calon tinggal kat apartment juga. What I like to suggest is you both can still beli poted plants yg cantik2 dan please with light pots and not heavy pots, put under rollers and letak some potted plants kat living in front and may two in your bathrooms, tak payah nak tunggu ada garden, your apartment will look nice ada juga nampak green, because I have seem my young relative staying alone in an apartment doing this. In fact, kat balcony nya ada one big pottd plant dah jadi macam X'mas tree dok decorated dgn nice color lights lagi boleh switch on the color lights at night. Cantek tau ... 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-)
hi there Mariuca just visiting you here again
have a great day!
I dislike gardening! Too lazy I guess! Haha!
But I love to look at the garden and the flowers and all! I just don't want to take care of it! : )
Happy weekend to you, Mariuca! Looks like bluedreamer quite active blog hopping nowadays! : )
I had a lovely flower garden over 30 years ago and for the darn-est I can't remember how I did it. However, I love fresh flowers and someday, I'll make sure I do gardening again.
