Gardening at the moment is a bit slow. It's too wet and rainy to do much and the lawn really needs mowing! At the front I just have a few shrubs and rose bushes - apart from my beloved cherry blossom tree. I usually grow lots of poppies and other similar flowers in the spring. We do have a cherry (fruit) tree in the back that, alhamdulillah, bears us the most delicious Rainier cherries - however I think it's too close to the house and so will need to be transplanted next year inshaAllah. I also have a makeshift pond (its just a huge plant pot!) in which I grow a single water lily. There is a little jasmine, some bamboo which we initially tried so hard to remove, more rose bushes and that ubiquitous mint. Alhamdulillah the gardens are very small but amazingly take up so much time just on general maintenance, let alone the active gardening matters! One of my work colleagues recently returned from Pakistan and brought back a 'mothia/jasmine' plant for me. The soil is VERY sandy and the roots are visible all over. It took quite a bashing during its journey and the leaves were drying out a fair bit. InshaAllah I will try and replant this and keep it indoors. If just one flower bloomed from it, I would be content, inshaAllah.
