QUOTES

Growth takes time. Be patient. And while you're waiting, pull a weed. - Emilie Barnes


A garden is the best alternative therapy - Germaine Greer


Gardening is a kind of disease. It infects you, you cannot escape it.

Gardening requires lots of water... most of it in the form of perspiration.  - Lou Erickson


I'm not really a career person. I'm a gardener, basically - George Harrison


I suppose that for most people one of the darker joys of gardening is that once you've
got started it's not at all hard to find someone who knows a little bit less than you. -  Allen Lacy



I do not know the names of all the weeds and plants, I have to do as Adam did in his garden... I name things as I find them.

What a man needs in gardening is a cast-iron back, with a hinge in it.  ~Charles Dudley Warner, My Summer in a Garden, 1871

I'd see the summer garden in rainbow clouds.

In the garden I tend to drop my thoughts here and there.  To the flowers I whisper the secrets I keep and the hopes I breathe.  I know they are there to eavesdrop for the angels.  ~Dodinskywww.dodinsky.com

Since my nursery is located on 4th floor of were I live, birds have always been a problem for my seedlings...thus i came up with this first project, it's not much...but I hope that this DIY will somehow solve my predicament




 materials that i used
sewing machine, scissors, thread, tape measure, pins, marker, zipper, old shelf


it's hard to measure the net, since the edges keep curling up



my solution, i put safety pins on the edges


after a couple of measuring, cutting and sewing... voila...MY MINI GREENHOUSE/NURSERY
