This haphazardly looking bamboo arrangement is in fact a climbing trellis for our snow peas. I saw something like this in a friend’s garden and had to give it a try – especially since there was no skill involved in making it. The idea is that you arrange all your spare bamboo stakes in a […]
Read more "Method to the bamboo madness"These are the Napa Cabbages (or Won Bok) we planted in May which I showed in my Hardware Hack post (https://itssokhay.com/2013/05/16/hardware-hack/). They have grown quite a lot considering the lack of good sunshine we have been having lately. Come late Winter / Spring, they should start to develop their very recognisable heads and be ready […]
Read more "Napa Cabbage"Euphorbias. This is the flower spike of the Euphorbia I posted in early July (https://itssokhay.com/2013/07/10/winter-green/). I love how that innocent looking green brush has burst into a firework of green flowers which not only look amazing but last a long time too.
Read more "Euphoric"It’s early August and we are on the last leg of Winter. It’s around this time that I like to prepare for our Spring / Summer garden. This preparation includes forking and aerating the soil whilst adding compost and manure to enrich it further. In addition to that, I like to start building the framework […]
Read more "Spring / Summer Garden Trellis"Even the smallest of spaces can be used to create the most beautiful things. Take this water garden for example. The ceramic pot is only about one metre in diameter but provides a whole array of vibrant colours and life throughout the year. Best of all this can fit on a small balcony if you […]
Read more "Water Garden"These are 2 week old Snow Pea shoots sprouting on a nice warm patch of soil. I like to start these early to give the plants ample time to become established. When they grow large enough they will be transplanted in their final position. Can’t wait for the first harvest!
Read more "Snow Pea (Mangetout) Sprouts"…is truly another man’s treasure. I picked up three vintage wooden ladders from a neighbor down the road. They left it on the nature strip for people to take and that is exactly what I did. I stealthily carried them home in the dead of night – not because I felt bad – but because […]
Read more "Another Man’s trash (2.0)…"I love the crisp green of this flower head. The way it’s bent down makes it look charming but somehow menacing at the same time, as if it’s recoiling and ready for attack. Well, that’s how I see it anyway!
Read more "Winter Green"I love the rich shades of green of the spring onions on my spring onion pancake. It’s so uplifting!
Read more "Green"I love moss. I love the fact that not only is it low maintenance, it provides an almost everlasting blanket of deep green which is soft to the touch. This little moss patch is something I’ve had for a while. It’s in a miniature bonsai pot (no larger than half you palm) and every time […]
