History tells repeatedly that it is human kind that loses its previleges. Immigration is good for Canada and its people in any way you consider but the undeue advantage taken by a few people in the name of refugee act bestowed by Canadian government is being highly misused. We have to wait and see how far Canada can allow people in the name of refugees. Of course, humanitarian concerns are to be given the highest priority for human kind’s development and survival but misuse of a syustm is highly deplorable. Let us all pray that the gates of immigration be not closed for all those good people and eligible aspirants just because of the refugees who infiltrate this country and can be a bigger and unsolvable problem. As of now Canada is large in heart and resources.Canada Immigrationhttp://www.canadaupdates.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6901937196017931930.post-20189778337496130092010-11-21T21:06:08.740+08:002010-11-21T21:06:08.740+08:00Wow!

I'm impressed and am wondering how you managed them so well. Though we've managed to trim down our collection and haven't added any new plants for more than 6 months now, we still find it quite tiring at times tending the balance. Hehe, I know, it's our old age syndrome, huh!<br />BTW, I like how you summed up what you want for your garden. I've enjoyed reading this post and seeing your wonderful garden...thanks!Jacquelinehttp://www.jaycjayc.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6901937196017931930.post-74076507404341810422010-11-19T11:52:41.091+08:002010-11-19T11:52:41.091+08:00Stephanie - it takes a lot of effort actually to f...Stephanie - it takes a lot of effort actually to find uninterrupted time to tend the garden.

The other day I clipped of one plant cuz I didn't want the flowers to bolt and suck it in the ground and its thriving! I am searching high and low for the Krishna holy basil.cina_fonghttp://www.cinafong-myobsessionmycompulsion.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6901937196017931930.post-13030704256223482512010-11-12T09:37:42.183+08:002010-11-12T09:37:42.183+08:00Sun-ni - Thanks for your lovely comments & tho...Sun-ni - Thanks for your lovely comments & thoughts. Appreciate very much for dropping by and glad that you can get few tips from my garden & blog.<br /><br />Ami - I can only have a container garden as my garden is fully cemented. The plus point is that I can relocate & arrange them time to time.<br /><br />Andrea - Im surprised too.. <br />hehehe.. I will try to post as much as possible. As for now, I got few more picture sets to load up which I have been keeping for weeks.<br /><br />Rainforest Gardener - I do not have much trouble concerning the Kalanchoe. They seemed very much contented living inside their potted area. Sometimes the plantlets do drop & fall to the ground but they do not able to survive.<br /><br />P3chandran -Yay.. I got a kawan for my club..<br />I guess we all learn from experience.<br /><br />Aaron - You have planned well in your gardening expertise and have a clear idea exactly what you want. Good to know you like my garden too..<br /><br />Wendy - I guess there is always room for improvement - the "getting it done" brings that satisfaction. Since when plants totally obey the master gardener? And so the saga continues.<br /><br />Malar - Thank you. I think you too have very good hands in vegetables & herbs, Im not so good with them.<br /><br />Belle - Actually, when it comes to watering I just spray the water at the base of the pot without getting the plants wet. It a quick few second pouring and I manage to get all of them within minutes. <br />Wow.. Garden of Memories.. that is truly heart warming.<br /><br />Thank you everyone for your lovely comments.James Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01423981835876393119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6901937196017931930.post-8370491374138739072010-11-10T19:30:57.653+08:002010-11-10T19:30:57.653+08:00I think your garden is green and lush now.

To answer your question, I think my garden is full of memories, especially pertaining to those plants that are given by who and when. Thank you very much for the contact for the Ylang-Ylang. I will keep it.

The "mother of thousands" kalanchoe you pictured last is neat but probably too invasive for my garden.

A garden is just a collection or plants we love, - we arrange and tend them to our delight and joy. Some people tell me I must have a theme for my garden, should get professional landscape help, etc....etc... but at the end of the day, I am glad I did not listen to them. My garden is very young and still evolving. I really love what I see in your photos....you arrange all ur plants so beautifully ! I have lots to learn from you. Thank you.Sun-ni Mi-ni Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01392021921652388263noreply@blogger.com
