As a newcomer in this beautiful country, I was lucky enough to have almost one year for myself. At that time, I started to cook a lot, to fill up some old desires of mine like painting, knitting or gardening.

So, I started to harvest the plants by seeds. So, I have planted some vegetables in my small garden.

I obtained poppies similar to the ones which my mum prefers. I put the seeds in the ground three years ago and every summer I have some beautiful red “flags” in my garden.

Sunflowers, I adore them! I planted short and long yellow “stars,” so this picture is from past years.

So, just using this easy and no cost method, every spring, my neighbors also admire my white and stunning peony - from my sister too - and some daisies. 

Geraniums - they remind about my grandmother. She used to grow up red and white flowers of this kind.

Because I also have bio tomatoes in my garden, during the summer, my and family are able to make few delicious tomato salads. Believe it or not, they are made starting from seeds until they became the delicious red fruit, harvested by myself!
