yes tea leaves when it is drink cold, tasted sweet and fragrant.

While it is hot, you will taste the tea a bit bitter.

you mean that garden, anyone can enter and pick the tea leaves?

Not in your own garden, a public garden?

Ours is in our own garden, so nobody can pick them.

Until my neighbor started to spray pesticides and painted…[Read more]

@peachpurple, Dried tea leaves are nice if drink it cold.

Six years ago we had a tea garden in the province, but many abused the garden. They just pulled and pulled the leaves and so hard that the young roost were uprooted. I told the caretaker to fence the tea garden.That resolved the problem. Every week , our caretaker sent home dried leaves.The garden is non-existent this time.

I never learned how to plant but I love plants and super love trees. Maybe my hands are heavy that is why the seed will not grow if I am the one planting it. I envy those who can plant because I can’t do that and I am a little frustrated on this part. Lol. I can only water the plants and talk to them, but making them start from seed to become a…[Read more]

@peachpurple – I have no access to tea gardens and what we get in packets is broken leaves along with tea dust.

They are also helpful in a  way to prevent the snails from crawling up to the vegetable…[Read more]

@IcyBC  One can get immense satisfaction growing a garden in pots. Have a blast!!

I just moved to a condo in December so now I am starting all over again. I am limited to containers growing and so far I have spent too much money gathering pots, plants and soil, so it will be for now.

I have three pots of flowers: pincushion, tickseed, and columbine flowers; also I have three pots of herbs: green onions, mints (spearmint,…[Read more]

@peachpurple The pink lily is very beautiful. I wish I can plant them in my garden.

I used to plant a pot of purple flowers (I do not know the name, but I will try to take a photo of it later), sunflowers and a few wild flowers (I do not know the names either). But since I am pregnant and was feeling really sick during my first trimester, I…[Read more]

I have many varieties of lilies in my garden. There is one that comes up soon after the first thunder. 

@bestwriter/

ah… no wonder, I thought those flowers were dead when they dried up. They reborn on their own when the season is right.
