Dearest Family, Friends & Gardeners The time has come to fulfil dreams and L.I.V.E (Learn Inspire Vivify Educate) as I have decided to start a Family Garden Mossel Bay, South Africa .  As you all know, i suffer from G.O.D (Gardening Obsessive Disease) not because I’m ill, but simply that i just love gardening so much. It has always been my dream as a young boy to help others over & above my own needs. My love for the garden started ever since i can remember; always planting things and has brought me back time and time again to follow this dream and take bounding leaps of faith to get there.   Everything I have ever done in life has brought me to this point right here. I cannot thank my friends and family enough for all the love and support in my journey thus far.   I am starting this fund in order to bring my greatest potential as organic gardener to life.   The  goal is to purchase land and dedicate my f...

SURPRISE

Image
Hey fellow gardeners and seed-sters  i know its been awhile since my last post, but this morning i have a surpise for you  and it has made my day  and gave new meaning  and symbolized life, as many of you know i lost two friends in a car crash  in my last post and this mornings post is about new life and growth, so a few months ago myself and the Lovely Gabriella (my girl) driving around  and to the suprise we went by nurseries in the area and bought some plants (Bromeliads, Roses & Fuchsias) and while at the one nursery i saw a broken of  branch of a small pink rose i then asked if i may have it.  When we got home i then trimmed it and stuck it in next to the Oregano Pot which by the way i will do a post on  tomorrow. So a few weeks after planting it i realized that the top half is going brown and woody and thought the worst,  in a sens i gave up on it  but still watered the oregano as per norm. So this  morning  bef...

JAMIE & ULRIKE | MAY ANGELS LEAD YOU IN

This is rather a sad post as i struggle to find the words & believe that this is real... Two days ago my world was shaken to the core with the news that you have passed away and the the only thing that came to mind was that this cannot be true, but sadly it was true when i read the comments and remarks on you're walls I am going to miss you both  so much; especially in the December  Holiday festivals when you would hunt me down when ever you came to visit to just say Hi and share on your tattoo art work and pieces and life events and  just caring with both your big hearts. Thank you for being real and true friends and the friendship you offered me is and will always be rare, you weren't only just my friends but have become family to me, and for this i am grateful that our paths crossed the way it did, May God grant your families and friends the peace and comfort as he has called you home, where you belong, and even if we will miss you so much you will be in our ...

SEED PACKETS

Image
Hey fellow gardeners... So  i woke up this morning at 2:45 am...and not being able to fall asleep again i decided to post this blog. About 3 weeks ago i went to move stuff from the old house that has been sold to my current residencies and as i left i took  some of the white rose buds as remembrance of all the beautiful memories i have shared and made with friends and family there. So last night i opened them up to collect the seeds inside. i have already also started the germinating process on  about 10 seeds in the hope that they will soon sprout and be ready to  plant, come springtime. The excess seed i have put in seeds packets that i print so that i can store them and give them as gifts to to others. So i have taken  a pic to share with you... I have also made a  15 sec video on this for you to see on my Instagram account So go check it out on how i print them while watching  Jamie Oliver's " jamie at home -disc3"...
