The Sparows and the Nightinggales......

Just what do you People feel about GARDENING...?

I live in London but I honestly dont feel at home there apart from going out to my favourite club's. I suppose im an Old English Romantic I have my Rose Bush's in the front Garden, A lilac Tree, an Apple tree and a Damson Plum tree and a Victoria Plum tree......I love wakeing up in the morning and watch the Bees fly from plant to plant and the cats playing game's.....Or in the colder months cheeky little Robins haveing a tantrum....

Call me sad but I dont mind GARDENING it's my escape from High-Tech to Low tech but sitting out in the Garden if im stressed or upset solves all my problem 's why I dont know. I class a Garden as anything from a flowerbox to a field.

Things like Ants intiuge me or yellow and black ladybirds. I suppose its an escape and me getting back to the fact that us Humans do belong to NATURE,even though we forget to Appreciate it a lot of time.

I think if everyone just bothered to have a Flowerbox in the City Towerblocks or Not concrete there Garden's the wealth of Insect and Bird Life would flourish...



Sorry for being so mushhy and soppy but I love Gardening ,,but I dont have Greenfingers before you say it!:)

Sorry a little off topic here...

I absolutely love London, mind you I haven't been there in years (hopefully a trip later this year). I seriously looked into to moving there a number of years ago. The cost of living was astronomical. People complain about the cost of living in Toronto but I don't know how you Londoners do it. I think the only place more expensive that I have been to was Manhattan. I saw a flat advertised for $15,000 a month. Good Lord!

I guess no matter where you live you would prefer to live elsewhere.

Back on topic. I'm sure gardening is very therapeutic. You are lucky to have a little green space. I live in a condo so it feels like I live in a concrete jungle (The Specials rule!).

Kirlian, I knew you were meant for me... Just come over here and take care of a flowerbox on my balcony for me! I'd like to have strawberries, could you arrange that??

[Paradoxxx]

I like gardens, plants and flowers but I'm such an incompetent gardner that I even let cactus die! Also cactus are the only thing I'm "allowed" to keep 'cause my cat tends to eat anything else. She's even had a few bites at my cactus! :|
As for London prices... I have some colleagues that moved from London to Brussels and one of the reasons was that here they can afford an appartment without having to share it with anyone and not having to comute for 2 hours before reaching work.

[Kirlian Blue]

Ermmm any other fruits Angel? Or any forbidden fruits ..I actually used to grow strawberries but they require loads of water,sunlight and a well fed soil....I think i could..Well if you no how to look after a gimp its the same with strawberries you always get the best in the end!

[angel_hocico]

Ha ha ha, I'd rather look after the gimp than at the strawberries!!!!

I wouldn't mind melons, too, but they are a bit too big for a balcony box, aren't they? (Oh, and I forgot about the Hamburg weather.... Hey, did you know that we have a saying that if it rains in London, it'll rain in Hamburg half an hour later? As there is basically just the North Sea between us, Hamburg can be considered London't biggest suburb.... :D)

[Tal`liyne]

Well as a one with the blood of the Eldar flowing within her, I too love nature especially a lovely garden and lanscaping with lots of trees and meadows, rolling vales, etc. The days of yore, lost and soon to be long forgotten now give way to a world that thinks with minds of metal and wheels of steel! Do not mistake me, technology has it's advantages, but we will pay the price for diminishing nature to make way for it! Sometime's I desperately wish that we could return to fields of wildflowers, crystal streams, and nature in her full glory when the land was still pure and noble! Oh well, I still have my little gardens and forests here and there! Nam`aarië!

Firstly, to quote "Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels," Kirilian, you don't look like the average f--ing horticulturalist! What exactly are you growing, how much are you consuming, and how much are you selling it for on the East End?

I knew that once Lord Kirilian was involved, talk would turn to Melons. It was just a matter of time. Ah, I love the UK as well. Just wrote an article that was accepted in an English journal. The British are the only ones who understand me, methinks.

I dont really do drugs i just like my plot of England in my backgarden imobsessed by Victorian Buildings, Cathedrals and a lot of refined things in life...sadly i live in two worlds one Academic and one Completly of this Planet!

The truth is JP8 you are an Englishman at heart a true PATRIOT who knows his route's and mannerism's in life!

The Joke is Sir Jupiter I have more right to the British Throne than the Royal Family the Eagleton's were Knights and landowners ..don't know what happened to many wild card's in my family! I do have the surname Carter-Eagleton.......If i was king I would make you a Baron!

I miss having a garden. I just moved out to an apartment a year ago and I truly miss the garden with cherry tomatos and squashes. In the front yard I used to have a lot of flowers growing around the tree and sometimes in the twilight I would sit on the grass and watch the moon rise and pet my cat.

Sadly for me and my cat, we now live in an apartment. The only comfort is there is a really nice and fragrant magnolia tree in front of the balcony.

So instead of a garden, I have a view of the sea and a magnolia tree.

:)

[Kirlian Blue]

I've never had the privledge of seeing a magnolia tree but I love the colour..I would never where that colour of course ..I do grow cherry tomato's quite successfully..I dont think I could live with out a Garden! But least you got a cat Night Halo me has not got one I love cat's!

[kathy]

mark,
I relate to every word you 've written...as you know I live in a big city and here people are always so so in a hurry, they just think about work and money and they even can't bear stray cats in the road coz they are just useless things for them (I usually feed some cats near the place I live and you can't imagine how many of them has been poisoned by some unknown ???????s...) so it really seems to me people here have forgotten we are also part of nature...since mr Berlusconi has become our president in Italy things are even got worse because he is just a piteous self made man who just thinks to build new highways also in places where nature is so beautiful it can make me burst into tears...he is making nothing to preserve the natural parks ....I live in Milan just for my work my friend and the clubs but sometimes here the air is so heavy I think I'm going to suffocate...

LOL you're right London is so expensive....but at least it's a beautiful city...some days ago I heard Milan (where I live) has been placed at the no. 17 between the most expensive cities of the world and the no. 1 in Italy...and it's also an ugly city (I mean it could be wonderful to someone but if I compare it with other italian or European cities there is an abyss) and so so chaotic...

I have a Golf Course on one end of my Road a Graveyard at the otherend a park near the back of my house and some woods the otherside of the street ....I love Nature to death how people can harm animals is just sickening! I like Money in the sense haveing enough to survive and have a dscent standard of liveing but not not at the Exspense of Nature.. Cats are funny creatures very cunning and have a society of Upper class,middle class and lower. Your president sounds just like Tony Blair all there intrested in is Big Buisness and Corruption.....

Anyone who could harm or poison a cat should be poisned themself's I hate seeeing any animal abused in anyway......it's weird I honestly have like a State of Understanding with Animal's ffrom one bay elephant at london zoo who cried when i left strokeing his trunk when i was 5...Then the Hamsters ive adopted and the Cat I adopted Co Co .......ill miss him forever!

I would love to buy a house in the Countryside and live just outside the City..!

Kirlian you are lucky to have a little place to enjoy yourself at. It seems very lovely.

I actually have three cats, although when I moved I had two. I found one of them in the garage of the old house I lived at and then when I moved here to San Francisco I found a little kitten in a sewer drain. Someone had abused it really bad and put chemicals on it of some sort. She was about 3 weeks old (the size of a cd) , so my boyfriend and I had to nurse it to health for several weeks. Now though, it is a little daemon who loves to destroy and run around harassing the other two cats. The funny thing is she is still so little that she can't be the alpha kitty.

Enough of my ramble.. I am going to go check the mail now.. Bye!
