A few plants here, a few there…

Sunday, January 20th, 2008

Our earth lives as green plans exist, there is no doubt about this simple fact. One of the reasons this earth is alive, and living things exist on it is because of those green colors, or better say, green plants.

I love nature, plants, animals, most of them. Actually there are not many animals I dislike, I believe every existence has a reason to exist, and all should exist. I can’t set a preference here, but I surprisingly like the giant animals a little more. Mostly those have lived the earth for millions of years, like crocodiles, turtles, whales, and especially Rhinos!

Well, I am not like Hagrid, but those animals lived the earth so long I believe they own the earth more than we do.

Anyway, I like plants, and I like planting. I have no private land, and actually not even an small yard (live on 2nd floor actually :) ), so since three years ago, I plant in containers.

I have about 20 to 30 containers, all in my balcony, I plant vegetables in them, yes you heard it right, vegetables in containers!!! and those produce real vegetables, in quality much better than those you buy at market!

The story is like this, you buy a few 8 liter containers, fill them with good and light soil, buy some quality seeds, and take care of them. You see for yourself how they cultivate, grow, flower, and produce real vegetables.

Plants are also so beautiful they double as decoration, and just imagine how pretty they can be having red tomatoes or green bell peppers hanging from them. Last but not least, you can’t believe how good peppers smell, even if they are not yet any peppers on them.

To make it healthier and more fun, I only use natural heirloom seeds. By heirloom I mean seeds which are original types, NOT modified genetically and are really natural. This way, fruits taste natural, smell natural, and you will notice the huge difference between them and those tasteless ones you buy from market.

In this category, I would like to talk about these kinds of stuff, and we may have some interesting discussions for every other nature enthusiast, so be my guest, and tell me what do you like to hear!

Passion for sport fishing!

Monday, January 14th, 2008

The reason for this category to exist is my personal passion for fishing. Once upon a time, I tried fishing in my childhood and it attracted me so much. Spring 2007, again I fell for this passion and since then I have tried to gather my equipments so I can be prepared for any possible opportunity to go fishing.

Actually, I guess it is a great sport, and most of the times it gives one a relaxation, the feel of nature, and lots of knowledge of insetcs and marine life.

Believe me, it is a nice hobby, and almost everybody with access to a pond, river or dam can easily enjoy it.

Anyway, in this category I would like to talk my opinions about nature, fishes, fishing holes, different kind of lures and baits, different techniques and equipments etc.

So, you too share your opinions about this and let me know if I can give any advices etc. Just consider I am an amateur fishing enthusiast, trying to explore things on every opportunity, I am not an expert, and I too watch and read and study what experts say, to learn, on a day by day basis, my comments might not be as accurate as of those of expert fishermen.

A lot more on this later!
