- A sunshine tulip and white sketches. 02/05/2013The tulips I brought back from Amsterdam last year are all in bloom, except for 3 Allium bulbs that I lost to greedy rabbits.

- The Back Door 13/05/2013We don't live in the kind of house with a back door that the family or friends use to enter the house. But my Grandmother had a farmhouse like that.

I have a friend who lives in a part of the world wh […]

- Mulch, propagating and gifts from neighbours 06/05/2013My favorite gardening show Gardening Australia talked about growing plants solely for mulch. A waste of space I thought while watching it. I recently cut back my lemongrass for mulch, but still harvest it for cooking and tea. One plant that has not been used for much is the cardamom. I was so excited upon finding my first plant. Gosh I could grow my o […]

- Meet Me in MontclairIt's been a long time since I visited Montclair, NJ, and a lot as happened to this city since I've been in the kitchen and living life in suburbia 30 minutes away. Montclair was always an enclave for artists and hipsters, but now it's like the Brooklyn of New Jersey (and Brooklyn wasn't always hip, believe me). The once dusty antique shop […]

There’s something nice about a big glass jar of granola sitting perched on the kitchen counter - don’t you think? I’m not sure what it is? It’s probably linked to my obsession with food and lifestyle mag […]
