Some musings,bit of cooking and a simple craft

Rush of fresh air on my cheeks
pitter patter rain drops on the street
fluttering of the leaves on the road
life cant be more beautiful than this

Dream fulfilled - My own Herb Garden

When i came to Singapore ,i had a dream of having my own small herb garden ,

months passed ,i didnt do anything about it ,reason i didnt know anything about gardening,so the dream was there but from my side no effort,then one evening i got a mail for exchange of link and in return i was getting 10 packs of grow your own  herb seeds,

i could see my dream turning into reality,i immediately said yes,got the packet through mail ,and  last month on 23th i sowed some seeds,i have shared the pic here ,

today its been a month and my plants are a month old.I am happy that i have my own small kitchen garden will be updating the pics each  month
