THE APPRENTICE GARDENER

My green thumb came only as a result of the mistakes I made while learning to see things from the plant's point of view. ~H. Fred Dale

my Mickey Mouse plant after Gener

no wonder they are called Mickey Mouse, but some of the traders called them money tree, because it is said that they bring luck!  I think i'm gonna buy me some lotto tickets :D

even my miniature rose enjoyed Gener


Medinilla with Coleus


Happy Mandevilla


I've lost the label of this plant, and since I have habanero, jalapeno, siling panigang, sweet cayenne pepper, cherry pepper, and labuyo... i have no idea what kind of pepper this is (hhmmm..cherry pepper is out of the picture, and it kinda looks like labuyo)


after a year of buying this plant, finally...flower buds from my Tecoma Stans


Whoa! flower bud from my Gardenia

whew! While some of my plants enjoyed Gener, it seemed like the caterpillars had a feast with my variegated calamansi


some of the seedlings that survived Gener


seedlings repotted (zinnia, dahlia, and carnation)

I just can't help it, I really must start with my gardening!  The best way to start....a temporary pocket garden


Here's where i'm planning to place my pocket garden


after some clearing and digging....


since we don't have a tamper, I just asked my son to jump on this site


after a couple of minutes...


hmmm, I think I need some sand...look at those pile of sand. (from across the street)..it's as if they are saying..I'm free, come and get me :D


sshhh, we just took 2 sacks of sand


with sand..my pocket garden looks a lot cleaner


wait! I need to elevate my pots, and a better way to do it is to use some colored pebbles..or golden gravel, but I really don't have a budget for that.....(sigh)


whew, tired already? we need some gravel 


See!  Those G1 gravel (from across the street) would do for now



It's now after 5PM....no workers, no roving guards :D, we just need two socks of G1 gravel


It's getting dark, time to take a rest

Nothing is permanent in my pocket garden...if by chance we'll have a budget. 
I might change those G1 gravel with bermuda grass, or some colored pebbles, but for now....I'll enjoy my Pocket Garden!
