It’s a good time for all the cutting and trimming to be done in the garden. With golden autumn and rays of sunshine we’re set for a success~ Cutting and trimming is usually done with the plant’s health in mind, but can also be done for pure aesthetics✨ Mind that it’s good to let trees […]
Wood you like some trim? — Gardening kogel mogel 🌼
But leeeet’s slow down for a second. What is it all about? Simply put – I planted bulbs for the next year 👍 So! It’s finally October and it feels insane. One might think that there isn’t much to do in the garden planting – wise, but alas! All the produce that grows over winter […]
Starting with tulips, ending with a painter?!
Guys my tomatoes are going strong! I’m so happy you have no idea. I don’t have much energy lately though. Ups and downs and ups and downs. Life 🌸
But anywayz! Two different kinds of tomatoes have completely different leaves. This year I have spieces of tomato I’ve never seen before. Wild!
So the first batch got evicted outside. Fingers crossed the little greenhouse does the job. You can do it little one!
There’s also Easter. Fun times! The star of the show was the very friendly neighbourhood cat to the amusement of children. Screw the egg hunt, there’s a cat here 😂
The highlight for me was actually calmly celebrating in the very early morning though. I think I’m burnt out now. I’m not hosting another big event this year. I was so stressed over doing egg hunt for somebody else’s children and the Easter breakfast and cakes and everything I didn’t have much chance to celebrate mentally or spiritually. And I love having people over. Ahhh my brain can’t decide. I’m going somewhere else for Christmas though 😂
From this place I want to say hello to my dear friend that loves basil 😉
I rescued basil and mint from the supermarket with intention of propagating them, but I managed to save the whole plants too. But oh boy, do they sell those plants to die.
They have both overgrown their pots ages ago, and basil in particular was heavily overwatered. It’s a miracle the roots didn’t rot. It’s sad, cause it’s not the fault of the employees, they just water everything at once whenever they’re told to. Supermarkets aren’t gardening centers either. But I hope it becomes common knowledge that you either have to repot the plant the moment you get home or use it all up very quickly. No in between.
Especially since many plants are easy to grow. Basil can be grown at home, on a sunny windowsill, or outside in the greenhouse. Mint however takes deep roots so it has to be sooner or later planted into the ground. Once it feels at home it likes to spread, so be careful if you have flowerbeds nearby!
Both of them need a bit of watering at home, not that much outside. I watered my mint in the garden at the very beginning to help it grow roots, then not at all since it was growing in the shadow and, remember, it has deep roots! Basil needs maybe once a week once it settles in the greenhouse depending how big is the plant and what soil it’s planted into.
Look at me talking and talking, goodness. I love plants lol xD
And I have so much more to do. Every new month brings so much more to do, how can I exist without being able to photosynthesise for power T.T
That’s all for today! 😀
See ya later-

Spring comes, weather’s getting warmer, wind brings a fresh inspiration to eager minds all around. Alas, waking from winter slumber.
Here comes the question – am I ready? Gimme 5 more minutes I’d say now. Let me drink my coffee. Let me think, plan ahead.
A few weeks ago I planted some veggies and fruits and they died when I didn’t water them enough when I had a high fever for a few days. It hurts me so much, it was going so well. My poor green babies! It makes me think that no matter how elaborate plan one can have, one can’t forsee the future.
And that’s ok.
I woke up from the cold and ran head first into a wall of ice. And Spring said slow down.
I like to think that Spring wanted me to enjoy how the plants sprout and grow, so they would give me joy and pride everytime I see a new leaf, instead of wanting to grow them as quickly and as efficiently as possible.
It is ok to fail. No matter whose or what’s fault it is. And that’s gonna be my thought for this season. As nonglamourus as it can be. I decided to learn how to live like this over the next few months.
Yeah!
Who knows, maybe that’s what I’m missing all along? A few non-anxiety-inducing fails? 😉
To ease the mind over a thought that not everything can be perfect ❤
So! Let me sit back and enjoy my morning coffee. Water my flowers. And then, after breakfast, we can try again~
Love, Juliet
It’s been a while 🙂 Winter scenery, all the colours and lights, gives me so much peace. I’ve been feeling very overwhelmed, getting a rough start in the new year, with all the bad memories and no energy, especially with all the things I planned to do and accomplish :’)
I feel like I’m back in a way, but this one-month-setback discouraged me so much, it feels like I’ve wasted the whole January 
And saying that you shouldn’t dwell on things since the world wouldn’t wait for you doesn’t help. I should always hurry. I shouldn’t waste time. But why? Does it all come back to measuring one’s worth with productiveness?
I’ve been exercising and working on graphics in January, meeting some friends too. But somehow everything screams “you didn’t do enough”. And then I got sick at the beginning of February, which is now :”””) excellent :’)
But I don’t want to come back to writing here with depressing thoughts. Although these are my thoughts. I don’t knooooow :'<
Anyway! I have a new, or rather old, story in mind, which I’d like to write here on this blog, just as I was writing The Steam. I got stuck with my book, so I thought it would be nice to write something else. Just because ^^
And the main character of the story suits the winter scene~
The story is one I came up with ages ago but never written it properly. I only drew the characters a lot ^^ But that’s more or less how my stories come to life, however meh they could be xD And I just realised I haven’t really posted my stories here much, except for some poems and The Steam. Gotta change that.
Ahhh I have so many ideas! But hey, writing here is bringing me such closure somehow :’D I have so many unpublished drafts too. Maybe I should just write, haha
Love,
Juliet
Since my phone camera is broken and I don’t have a stand for my normal camera (and definitely don’t want to drop it which happened often with the phone on uneven garden grounds) I’m stopping the garden diaries for the time being 🙂 I think I’ll post a one catch up video maybe?
But here are 3 more videos for you to enjoy for now! ^^
Some replanting and planting~
Building!
And some witchcraft! Just joking, propagating herbs happens on its own basically 😀
The stuff just grows for now, and I don’t know how many times I can show the same plant without it getting boring 
But I learned a lot, and I think I’ll do stuff much more efficient next year! I know how now after all. My most splendid success are definitely tomatoes, I managed to grow enough saplings from seeds that my whole family, and husband’s family got quite a lot of them ^^
But I’m also growing cucumbers! And I think I’ll focus on those more next year :3 They are so much easier to grow, and they grow ultra fast. And are not as fragile as tomatoes 🍅
So! I’ll see you soon ❤ by the way, it’s my 4th wordpress anniversary! Time flies! I really love this little space on the internet and how much courage and freedom it gave me.
Love,
Juliet
Hello everyone! I decided to create a discord server to talk about plants, nature and gardening adventures~
No matter what you grow, or what you want to grow I think we all should be able to share passion about nature ❤
So here’s the link: https://discord.gg/83CzRuPCkW
Feel free to join! ❤
See ya :3 I hope you enjoyed some sneak peeks from my garden! ^^
Hello! Some more stuff happening in the garden :3 this time in my vlogs, I bring to you books, tomatoes, and flowers!
Rather than giving specific titles, I wanted to give an idea what to look for. Something simple, and vague, but also material for some deeper research!
Here we have TOMATOES. Next year I’m gonna do it differently. Very. I’m going crazy.
Finally, some flowers to ease the soul. Really, after the endless tomato fight… I just can’t.
But anyway, my experiments are going well! And I’m super happy and excited for what’s to come, what’s to grow! Hehe
See ya!
Juliet
It absolutely amazing – there’s no plant in the morning and the next thing I know, it is there, in the evening! Things are sprouting and growing incredibly fast. Or rather, changing incredibly fast.
I’ll show you tomatoes at some point, if they survive and grow well! The whole process in fact. But for now here’s some basil! From just little sprouts to growing proper leaves. My dad asked me at the beginning “are you sure that’s basil?” and the answer is yes! It’s easy to forget how things look at the beginning when we usually just see the end product, right?
It’s good to be a seed sometimes. Comfortable and warm in the soil. It’s good to be a little sapling, so cherished and cared for, and it’s nice to have beautiful flowers and fruits too! Haha
I love gardening ^^ It helps to reconnect :3c Mainly with yourself ^^
See ya! 🌱🌿🌼
Juliet
Ok, so, it’s raining again, and the temperature dropped. So I come to you with some sunshine from my garden! \(^^)/
Or should I say baby garden, as I don’t really have any crops growing well yet
One of the things I’m proud of though, is planting a tree, and some other branches I have are sprouting some leaves! Isn’t that amazing???
I also built some greenhouses, since I do not trust the weather anymore. Like, AT ALL.
I’m trying to make everything work, really!!! For the most part I’m not sure what I’m doing, there’s only so much you can learn from reading and watching, you have to do stuff yourself at some point. And I am constantly thinking: am I doing this right? But hey, SOMETHING is growing, so I’m not that bad I guess! Haha
See ya ❤
