The mind is like a garden – as you sow, so shall you reap. When you cultivate it and nurture it, it will blossom beyond your wildest expectation. But if you let the weeds take over, you will never reach your potential. What you put in is what you get out. So avoid violent movies, trashy novels and all other negative influences. Peak performers are meticulous about the thoughts they allow into the gardens of their minds. You truly cannot afford the luxury of a single negative thought.
As requested on Twitter, Morgaine Fitzgerald – aka @sanctityofwoman would like see roses planted because “Roses i love them, I heard they are the plant of angels”.
On the 5th of april 2011 I am seeding white Alcea Rosa seeds against our fence that catches most sun where there is any.
Hollyhock seeds
The fence
Alcea rosea is a hardy perennial, and once established should flower for many years. It will grow in a wide range of soils, and can easily reach a height of about 8 ft. The flowers are a range of colours from white to dark red, including pink, yellow and orange. Different colours prefer different soils. The darker red variety seems to favour sandy soils, while the lighter colour seems to favour clay soils.
Hollyhock is stated to be an emollient and laxative. It is used to control inflammation, to stop bedwetting and as a mouthwash in cases of bleeding gums.

I decided not to build a Greenhouse in my garden this year. Too expensive and no time. Instead I use my windowshelf now to grow seeds. And it works perfectly.
