Restarting my blogging:)

As this blog was born from the idea of growing things, gardens and the like, I stay loyal to this idea and continue blogging about these things.
I went around (almost around, ok, maybe just half the circle) Lithuania, my home country, and visited some eco communities. I happened to visit one couple, that gave me some nice seeds to grow. And here I am, planting all these seeds and waiting with curiosity what will grow out of them. Right now I've just sown couple of Figs and a Ginkgotree (I think that that's how it's called). Anyone ever tried growing those? Advice would be appreciated! I got some soil from the forest, cause I thought that the soil would have more of what it takes for a tree to grow.

And while we are waiting for these seeds to grow here is a photo of my lovely tomatoe seedlings. I am so proud of how beautifully they have sprouted. In some squares there are more than one seedling. Does anyone know if it's healthy for tomatoe seedlings to be replanted when they're as small as the ones in the photo?

My grandma's autumn harvest

Last weekend I stayed at my grandma's and helped her a bit round her garden, as she doesn't move as effortlesslly and she used to.. I looked around and this is what I found in her garden. Plenty of beans put to dry, a huge courgette, a pumpkin, apple trees abudant with red big apples, some herbs. And then there is hawthorn, which not many people use, but they are good for making jams and jellies or eaten raw.

It's so nice to have a possibility to grow your own stuff and eat it fresh. Here it is:

And then I found some very tasty hazelnuts. This was the first time I tried them, they are quite crispy and very very tasty.

My first garden

Hi, I reformed our London garden by adding plants and trees and some other nice details. I based my drawing on Cecilia's  post on drawing edible garden. She gives some very simple and very useful ideas about how to draw it.

And here is a photo of it.  I inhabited the garden with the trees and plants that are pleasant to me as well as those that can be eaten. I'm not sure if you can see but there are: cabbages, grapes, cherry tree, beans, thyme, levander, jasminium, japanese maple tree, clover, basil, cranberries.

By the way this is how the garden looks in reality. I know, you will say it's much smaller, and I will agree. I definitely would make some adjustments:)
