It seems that I cannot finish a task at home if I don´t take a picture of it. It is probable that it is because most of my friends are online friends now that I live alone.
So I want to share with you all what I finished yesterday, so you can tell me if you like it or what can I do to improve it.
Do you like to take pictures of what you do, specially if you think it´s beautiful? For me, the greens of plants add a warmth to my house that no other thing gives.
What do you think? Do you also love plants? Share!

Yes, pictures tell more stories than words we write on paper. Up unitl last, I did not take anyphoto because my camera was losr. But many people now armed digital cameras phone cameras take photos and I like to do that. It is very good shares of different places.

Hello Marguicha, that's a very beautiful corner you have created, it looks gorgeous. Although I don't have much space for planting, just a small balcony, yet I have crammed it with many pots and containers as much as I can. And when even one of them flower I feel so excited about it and take a lot of pictures of them! Plants do add a lot of warmth and character to our own homes and I feel that the way we create gardens or little green spaces is so much part of our personalities too!

I understand your feelings. I think it is not a question of space mainly but whether you love plants or not. Even one plant can give you happiness if you are fond of them.

I am looking at your picture of your indoor garden and I must say that it is so nice. You are very creative to make such a lovely little garden indoor. I just wonder whether these plants can be suitable indoor since they can't have the sunshine. I hope they will keep on growing well. In fact I hope to plant some herbs so that I can use them to cook. It will be very convenient and cheap. But since there is no more sunshine here, so it is too difficult for me to plant something successfully.
I love China

The plant are to be placed indoors and they have enough light as on the other side of the house (where I was when taking the picture) there´s a huge window that makes it sunny.
I havew my herbs and plantts to eat outside. I have oregano, chives and bay, all perennial. And I have a veggie garden made in raised beds for season crops.

I don´t think that cats would eat them, but probably they would love to play there

Hi Margguicha 
Wow I love it! It is so nice the way you arranged them. I have often planted different ones like that but all as a whole and not in individual planter pots. So I would not change a thing and instead say, Thanks dear friend now I know what to do for planting this summer.
Remember I am in a small apartment and so miss my huge garden so something like yours I will be definitely creating. Maybe not so nice because my place is mall. But I like it! Thanks for the share.

How lovely! Plants are wonderful. I do take pictures of things that i do. I actually started an album on my facebook page where i take a photo a day for a year. It's so hard to maintain though! I love what you've done. There's something about plants that adds a special touch and warmth to a home. Thanks for sharing.

Than you so much for your comments! I love to share what I do to try to embellish my home. I live alone and many times the daughters come with the grandchildren and it seems noone notices. I love them deary but I wish once in a while they´d say they liked something like that. They love my cooking though

Thanks for the comment, friend. I bought plants that were not expensive in my country. Probably they are also the easier to care for. It seemed to me a good idea to place each of them in a separate container.

Thanks for taking the time to share with us. I am one of those people who feels like a house is empty without plants growing inside. I prefer live plants to cut flowers. I am anxious to see the details of your indoor garden.

Plants are hardier than you would think. It´s a matter of discovering plants that your cats don´t like so much.

That is very nice. I am not a huge fan of plants and I am not good at growing things. However, I do know that plants can help the air quality in your home to improve. I think that we should have more houseplants, but I am just not good with them.

Even a little hardy plant can help you feel better when you are in a bad mood. I look at my plants, see how generous they are just asking for a bit of water now and thn, and I smile.

Looks neat! I really like the large containers you chose. I agree that plants add something to the inside of ones home. However, I don't do so well with house plants they don't last long, I do better with plants in the yard.

There are some plants that do better indoors than out. Besides as I don´t have central heating, my indoor planys will not be smothered by too much heat.

That picture looks really nice!!! I don't have a camera except the webcam on this computer and I think it would be difficult to take pictures with that. I like plants, but can't seem to keep them alive very well. Have a great day!!!

If you want to. I am able to pick one or two up at the AIU (ambulatory infusion unit) every time I go in if I see one I like. Right now, I just have 3, but I'm sure that I will find others as time goes by. I don't think I would bother with a wig. In fact, sometimes I even go without covering my head even though I chopped off all my hair already. I got tired of shedding even with the shorter hair so now I just have stubble like a military recruit.

I know what you mean. My grandson Tomás lost all his hair when he had his chemo. But after the first difficulties, he found out that he could play pulling out his hair.
I remember some beautiful scarves that Princess Caroline of Monaco got when she had alopecia.

I have been gardening lately as a way of forgeting that this Thursday I´ll go to the doctor. Usually I don´t put so much energy all at once.
I read your blog (had not read it for some days). My sister in law made some very nice head scarves when she had her chemo. She bought herself a wig too but she said it was too hot so she never used it. Do you want me to ask her about her scarves so that I could send you a picture of them?
HUG!

I had back surgery too so I discovered that plant should be in containers so they are easy to handle. I put them in two containers and only take out the first one so that there´s the room to place it later again.

Yes I love taking pictures of things I do. This way I have memories of my accomplishments. Your indoor garden is really nice. Your lucky you have room to do something like this. I love plants and have quite a few myself, but are mostly outside and now with my new baby I dont get much time to tend to them.

Any small place can hold a nice plant if you wish. And they make a good company. I am constantly checking at hardy plants as I have back problems. So I don´t have much time for them either, but they are very generous.
