| "When gardeners garden , it's not just the plants that grow but the gardeners themselves." - Ken Druse |
It has been good four months and hopefully counting for more since I started the hype of hoarding (Excuse the term , for I truly am. hahahah!) such stress-relieving succulents. It all started when I was given with only 5 succulents to tend. At firs t, it was very shameful to admit that they never got my attention at all. So instead of really taking good care of them, I let them sat in just the corner of our veranda.
Coincidence as it seemed , it was also the same week when Ms. Madel Aguila-Lim of Maddie in Wonderland posted her class about succulents in her IG account. I tried contacting her expressing my interest in her class. Only that I failed for some other matters I had attended in school, too. :(
Right there and then , to compensate the desolation I felt, I went to search for pictures of varied succulents in Google. It was then that it finally dawned on me the great desire of owning those kinds I've only seen in the net.
The Husband then surprised me with a hundred pieces of succulents which was followed by another hundred. The experience left me euphoric. But because I was still a newbie in the field , I lost a lot of them, too. One succulent died after another. I couldn't seem to properly water them and to perfectly mix the right soil for them. I couldn't even place them in a place where they could get enough sunlight. I was so naive about them. So from hundreds, to less than a hundred down they became. Seeing them wither one at a time always saddened me until Ms. Madel once again , and finally posted about another session of which I attended almost a couple of months ago.
Hooorayy!!!!!
