I'm a life-long writer, scribbler, scrivener and daydreamer, yet starting a brand-new entry is never easy. The fear of marring the perfectly pristine blank page waiting there for your words - and blunders! - always lurks at the edge of the consciousness. So best get the annoying introductions and all awkwardness out of the way, and grab the monster by its horns.
My name is Elina, and I'll be your blog hostess for the foreseeable future. As this is my story, and my blog, you'll get verbiage with your photos and facts, and then some!
The primus motor for starting this blog came about sneakily, in that it surprised me. I'd been making the odd post about windowsill gardening on my Tumblr account and reblogging pictures and links to city gardening and scrap growing articles, but it seemed somehow hokey to begin posting entries debating the virtues of fertilising with chickenshit versus with seaweed-based products amidst my vast collection of entries featuring interestingly or barely dressed individuals or cute animals. And making another tumbleblog just seemed inadequate. I wanted the acreage to type out my rambling sentences without any "TEAL DEERS" wandering through the property and devouring the few scraps of interest I'd might have managed to cultivate, so to speak.
So here we are! I'll begin posting pictures of my makeshift indoor garden, and I will also be showcasing some of the nigh-free-to-make experimental solutions I've managed to come up with in my insomnia-addled brain. I hope you'll enjoy your stay, and start growing things, too. I know it has saved me in so many ways.
