Shades
Posted on January 16, 2009, by admin, under Gardening.
I studied in a very picturesque university where the roads are lined with Elm trees. These trees covers both sides of the road thus providing more than enough shade, with the rays of the sun just barely passing through the branches and leaves of the trees. This environment provided a very cozy and laid-back atmosphere. It is very helpful to the students that our environment is relaxing, reducing the tension and pressure that we undergo because of our studies. Up to now, I keep coming back to the university whenever I feel like I have to regain back my Zen.

What Garderner Needs?
Posted on October 28, 2008, by admin, under Gardening.
Gardening equipment per se, is what every gardener needs. At least that’s what we all say when we rush off to buy that handy new extra-light shovel that just went on sale! However, not every gardener has all the tools, or even the right ones necessary, and most gardeners will just make do with what they have. Most of the time improvisation is the key.
But if gardening is your game, then you will at least have some of the more basic gardening equipment that is needed to maintain your garden. Namely, a hoe, a shovel, and a rake come to mind offhandedly. There is also naturally other gardening equipment that is equally important, and I know that I simply can’t be without my pruning scissors.
