What makes me happiest!!!

When I'm interviewed these days,the questions invariably end up with a polite enquiry about what I am proposing to do next."Gardening"I reply, to expressions of polite disbelief.I shall be doing what makes me happiest.

A Garden's Character.

Gardens are not like exhibits in the museum,sealed in glass cases and impervious to passing time.It is the presiding gardener that determines a garden's character.

That's for thoughts.

And there is pansies, that's for thoughts. In the older years of life,is a matter of choice-my choice for myself.If I ever need a helping hand,I'll find one at the end of my arm.

Nature is painting.

Day after day,nature is painting for us.We ,only have eyes to see them.

It's all to do again.

As I walked through Bourton on the River, the beautiful village in Cotswold,England.I saw a gardener.She asked me "Are you a gardener too?" I smiled."Yes I am."
I a gardener standed and surveied a day's work.The edging crisp, the flopping plants invisibly staked.The roses deaded-headed,the vine cut back.And we ,two gardener smiled.And knows next week it's all to do again.Our job ,that's a happy ending,as ending go.

The beauty that still remain

I am always amazed at the truly beautiful morning,with the sheer variety of form and colour in flowers to be seen.At that moment I don't think of all the misery but of the beauty that still remain.

Keep going

Unfortunately,experimenting with growing rose is often an occasion I associate with a nightmare from hell.But I do believe in Winston Churchill 's words
"If you're going through hell,keep going....."

True beauty

When I saw this flower is blooming in my garden.I'm so impressed in blue colour.Pa-Yut-Mok is Thai name but common name is Cape leadwort.We all trend to focus on one appearence,looking good is about the latest trend.We all forget that...true beauty must come,must be grown,from within.....

Why

Someone ask why I make my home in the moutain forest,and I smile,and am silent,and even my soul remains quiet;it lives in the other world which no one owns.The flower trees blossom.The water flows.The sunshine dance through a meadow.I may grow firmer,simpler-quieter.

Even small subtle changes

Spending time on my garden appearance is good for me.Others see me as confident,capable and fun to be with because I dare to change my garden everyday,even small subtle changes can have a powerful impact and help others to see garden in a new light.This new plant in my garden named cat-tail.When I plant it,my neighbor's cat still sits on the fence.I don't.A lot of us,are a little bit lazy.But you have to move.Staying in one spot,whether it's in a job or a relationship,many feel comfortable,but it will never broadren your horizons.When I think about it,sitting on a fence isn't that comfortable -unless I'm a cat.

Best-simple growing plants

When I started growing cut flowers.I selected the best-simple growing plants that is Philippine violet or Chinese violet; Coromandel; Ganges primrose .But in Thai their name is An-Grap.I don't know what it's mean ,it does not matter at all .I don't want to know the meaning.I just want to know how usefull these flowers are.I grow many colour An-Grab.I love the wonderfully colour.It felt good to have lots of them in my garden.
