Garden Bloggers’ Bloom Day: January, 2014

The winter is finally here, more than a month late. Last month was a month of rain instead of snow. The temperature was much too high for December and January and only a few days before it fell below zero at night. Today my garden looks at it should look during the winter. Few days…

Garden Bloggers’ Bloom Day: November, 2013

This is the end. Golden autumn turned into gloomy black and white mode. It is dark in the morning; it’s dark when I come back home after the work. There were lots of rain and my lawn is wet and soggy. I even had to postpone my casual autumn cleaning because I can hardly enter…

Garden Bloggers’ Bloom Day: September, 2013

This is my twelfth GBBD post and a first birthday of my blog– a small anniversary. The past year was a time of learning: learning about plants, compositions, care, maintenance, and even about photography. Thanks to the GBBD community, all the gardeners who invite to visit their gardens and share their experience– you folks are…

Garden Bloggers’ Bloom Day: August, 2013

This August is burning with reds, yellows and orange. These colours were not so dominant last year; they were much more diluted by white, pink or blue tones.  However last month was very hot, I wasn’t at home and did no additional watering during these hot weeks, so many of my flowers bloomed shorter than…

Garden Bloggers’ Bloom Day: July, 2013

Another wonderful month has passed away. Although Lithuanians usually complain about weather a lot, I can’t find any reasons to be unhappy about this summer. Till this day it was one of the nicest summers I could ever remember. There were a lot of sunny days and lots of opportunities for summer dresses to wear….

Requiem pievai

Šiandien Rasa Laurinavičienė savo bloge publikavo nuotraukas iš Piet Oudolf sodybos Hummelo  kaimelyje. Nuotraukose nuostabios pievos. Tiesą pasakius, pievų nuotraukos mane kiek nustebino savo natūralumu. Piet Oudolf vardas iki šiol man labiau asocijavosi su didžiuliais ir įspūdingais kultūrinių daugiamečių masyvais, ir nors žinojau, jog paskutinė jo ir Noel Kingsbury knyga žada pokyčius, tokio pievų lengvumo…

Garden Bloggers’ Bloom Day: December 2012

December started with a perfect winter this year. Days are white and wrapped with snow. Cold is mild, just about -5 to -10oC.  This morning I saw the first fisherman on the lake ice. For me those ice-fishers are an attribute of serious winter. Seasons changed but it’s a wonderful weather for the Christmas mood….

Rugsėjo tekstūros

Scottweberpdx iš Rhone street garden prieš kelias dienas savo bloge surašė 10 priežasčių, kodėl jam patinka ruduo. Turbūt ir man patiktų, jei tie 10 argumentų tiktų rugsėjo pabaigai Lietuvoje  Saulės ir žiedų pripildytos nuotraukos skatina tik pavydžiai padūsauti. Jau kelios naktys vėjas kaukia taip, kad niekam nekiltų idėjų miegoti atviru langu. Ne, aš nesiskundžiu oru, tiesiog ruduo…
