The greatest gift of the garden is the restoration of the five senses.

Gardening requires lots of water

- most of it in the form of perspiration.

I have never had so many good ideas day after day as when I worked in the garden.

... or so many sore muscles. After "working" in the garden yesterday for about 3 hours to free it from the weeds - which have obviously got the upper hand down there - I feel completely sore. Last time I felt like this was 2 years ago when I went for a whole week of power Snowboarding without any kind of workout within the precedent 4 months... 

Maybe battling against those pest plants in the very uncomfortable "Schranz Hocke" position (named after the famous Austrian skier Karl Schranz >> take a look here) wasn't such a brilliant idea...

So, after my sister has successfully killed my former basil plant I had to get a new one... I just love this spice and fresh one tastes so much better. I've been so proud of the plant, it has grown nicely. During my vacation absence of 2 weeks in July my sister first managed to wither the plant since she put it into an aluminium pot and then placed it on our dining room window where it got grilled from top to bottom and probably the other way round as well. After neglecting it for almost a week she not only watered but drowned it with the effect of mold growing within the pot. My poor little plant just couldn't take it anymore... and finally gave in! Rest in peace!

I bought a new one 2 days ago. It now has a nice place at one of the shady windows and a ceramic pot and I myself will supervise the watering.

Es grünt so grün, wenn Spaniens Blüten blühen... (aka: The rain in Spain falls mostly in the plain...)

Just so proud of the garden! Though the weeds are gonna kill me one day...and I don't exactly have "green fingers" either!
