Year: 2010

It has been raining most of the time this December, and I have not been able to do much gardening due to busy daily routine as a mother to an active toddler. So when the gardenia keeps on blooming, it really makes my day to see the lovely white...

I’ve edited these pictures since July but until now I completely forgot about them because I don’t know what should I call this plastic materials that I bought to contain the rose plant from creeping around..sigh! I tried to Google the picture but so far, what I found is...
