I'm a sporadic organisational psychology phd student, full time day dreamer of alternative careers: cafe/bookshop/day spa lifestyle village empire entrepreneur; artist; travel writer; domestic goddess; property developer; fashion designer; retiree; organic farm/bed n breakkie; wife to billionaire heir; buddhist nun. when i'm not entertaining the above in my head, i'm busy navigating through life battling with myself to find eternal happiness armed with a skinny hazelnut flatwhite in my hand, twinkle of passion in my eyes, love in my heart and a barrage of great friends n family by my side.

project plant more stuff!

after my last 'harvest'.. my thumb's been itching and there's little voice inside that says: MORE MORE MORE!

so yesterday.. i took advantage of the public holiday to make a quick trip to Bunnings (DIY Superstore complete with garden centre), 1.5 hrs, and $55 later... my garden is now sporting 6 new seedlings of window box roma tomato, a tiny rose geranium (smells gorgeously rosey!) shrub, a petite rosemary bush(which i feels compelled to rub and my fingers now smells like roast lamb), 2 trays and a tub of sown chilli, 'gourmet mint mix' and 'gourmet basil mix' plus some thyme and oregano..

man, my back was so sore from all that gardening though.. but i'm greedily looking forward to enjoying the fruits of my labour..

i woke up this morning to go check on my babies hoping to harvest some produce for my fresh tomatos tossed in fresh gourmet lettuce on the side of a fragrantly grilled herbed chicken.. mmmm.. *salivating*.... and.... SHOCK HORROR.. i found nothing! nothing but empty trays and tubs of damp compost and teeny tiny tomato seedlings....

those seeds packet says nothing about patience!
