From deep mud toward heaven - just like humans grow from dirty hell on earth back home to God. Lotus flowers develop purest colors, heavenly sweet fragrance and purity inside and outside. The greater the obstacle, the more powerful your love and self developed divinity has to be to overcome all odds on earth and find your way home to God.
The darker the darkness the larger your hunger for God's love and thus the more powerful your desire to make it home. Take an example in God's nature and act accordingly. Lotus flowers have but one one goal in life - to grow from deep down toward heaven. Mankind however often has too many goals and all forces are shattered into pieces with each vector force remaining too small to reach any spiritual goal at all. One single goal - "God and love" is the only goal you can achieve in a single life time. This one single goal is the only goal worth to live and to die for.

containers_of_lettuce.jpgIn the last few months, the recession has really helped the idea of growing your own take off, as everyone starts to realise just how much cash you can save by cultivating your own crops.

This is all well and good for people in the country with large gardens, or even those lucky enough to have a small plot in the city, but what do you do if you only have a balcony or large windowsill? This is a problem the RHS have tackled at Hampton with a whole range of displays showing you how to grow in a very restricted space.

bottle_propagator.jpgSome of the ideas go a bit far, containers made from old lampshades and hard hats aren't to everyone's taste and are unlikely to catch on, but hidden among the more wacky ideas, were some handy pots for growing lettuce and seeds made from old fruit juice cartons and boxes. Being made of waxed paper, these make perfect pots and can look surprisingly good when stacked together. If you only have a windowsill this is an easy and inexpensive way to get into gardening.

On another balcony, the designers have created a makeshift hanging mini -propagator from an old lemonade bottle with a hole cut in the side. This allows small pots to be placed inside so that they get a bit of protection as they grow. It's certainly something I'll be trying next year to get my seedlings through the cold nights of spring.
