Chart results are announced on the site at 19:00 every sunday, the sametime as the No1 single of the week is announced on BBC’s radio 1.

Caution: Photos galore ahead.

Hubby, his aunt and I put up a border and prepared the soil. We probably got rid of half-a-sack worth of stones & pebbles. By the end of the first day, I was aching all over. Hubby had to applied efficascent oil all over my body, it was sooo painful to move.

The following day I worked from 9am til 12 noon. Both hubby & aunt were gone. Thankfully, the day was slightly overcast so it’s not too hot to continue my planting.

This photo was taken right after I finished the last box of seedlings. As you can see the day was beginning to hot up. pogiBoy was my lone helper all day, fetching water for me & basically trying not to get in the way too much.

On the second week, the plants started to bloom. I kept the cards of their names but I forgot to take note for this blog. Anyway, the red flower above and the bright yellow below are of the same family. Their like sunflowers in that their petals clam up when the sun goes down. At first hubby didn’t want to buy these but I sneaked them in our trolley anyway – I win!

We bought two of these lavender bush. Buy 1 get 1 free kasi. And I know they’re easy to grow. I am hoping these will last at least a year with minimum care. They do smell great, but since they’re so small, I have to put my nose really close in order to see what the ‘fuss’ is about.

These plants are yet to bloom. Out of maybe 24 seedlings, I think 6 of them will die. They’re wilting right next to their healthy siblings.
So that’s my quickie garden. I’m serious about these lot now. I just bought a plant stand from ebay so I can start with potted plants, too. I’ve got some healthy money plants I’ve managed to grow indoors that I’d like to propagate(?) and I’m really keen on starting a mini-herb garden. We’ll see how it goes.
