Am primit un mail interesant, pe care vreau sa il impartasesc cu voi. La aceasta adresa puteti gasi instructiuni pentru a avea o mini-gradina patrata rapida si relativ ieftina, de unde va puteti aproviziona cu legume sau condimente proaspete.
Puteti gasi explicatii si instructiuni vizuale, pas cu pas, si astfel va puteti crea o mini-gradina care in 2-3 luni va poate aproviziona cu rosii sau patrunjel, de exemplu.
Succes!
I received an interesting email that I want to share with you. At this address you can find instructions for you to have a mini-fast and relatively inexpensive square garden, where you can supply with fresh vegetables and spices.
You can find explanations and visual instructions, step by step, and so you can create a mini-garden that in 2-3 months can supply you with tomatoes and parsley, for example.
Good luck!

Orhideele - Orchids
Am primit de la mama o orhidee superba, galben cu picatele rosii. Recunosc, nu am avut niciodata o orhidee in pamant, doar deja rupte, ca atare nu cunosc prea multe despre aceasta planta. Am citit in carte ca familia orhideelor e cea mai mare din angiosperme, adica plantele care infloresc.
I received from my mother in law a gorgeous orchid, yellow with red dots. I admit, I never had an orchid in the ground, only from the flower shop, so I don't many things about this plant. I read in the book that the orchid family is the largest from angiosperms, thus flowering plants.
Nu se stie clar cate specii de orhidee sunt in toata lumea, dar se presupune ca sunt 25.000, dar la fel de bine pot fi si 30.000 specii. O treime de hibrizi au aparut din secolul 19 pana acum, marind numarul orhideelor existente pe planeta.
We don't know how many species are in the world, but it presumes that there are around 25.000, but could also be 30.000 species. 10.000 hibrids appeared from 19th century.
Fun facts: orhideele sunt de 4 ori mai multe decat mamiferele si de doua ori mai multe decat pasarile.
Fun facts: the orchids are four times more than mammals and two times more than birds.
Inclusiv Darwin a studiat orhideele si modul lor de polenizare si a scris o carte despre acest lucru. Unele dintre orhidee se bazeaza in totalitate pe auto-polenizare, in special in zonele reci, unde nu exista insecte.
Darwin studied the orchids and the pollination method and wrote a book. Some of the orchids are based on self-pollination, especially in cold areas, where are no insects.
Fun facts: vanilia este un tip de orhidee.
Fun facts: vanilla is an orchid. Nor a sky. :)
Exista o varietate larga de culori ale florilor si de tipuri. Flori duble sau simple, bazale sau axiale (pornesc din frunze), au multiple petale sau au sepale care se confunda cu petalele.
Orchids have a large variety of colours and types of flowers. Double or simple flowers, basal or axial (the flower starts from the leaves), with multiple petals or with sepals resembling with the petals (so called tepals).
Fun facts: frunzele uscate ale unei specii de orhidee se folosesc pentru a colora romul din Reunion.
Fun facts: the dried leaves of an orchid species are used to colour the rum in Reunion.

Camelia - Camellia
Dupa cum v-am spus, Dani a cumparat o Camelie acum cateva zile. Recunosc, stiam cateva lucruri teoretice despre aceasta planta, asa ca am apelat la ajutorul tatalui meu pentru a afla si alte amanunte despre ea. Oricum, cred ca in orice carte despre gradinarit puteti gasi detalii despre aceasta superba planta, denumita si trandafirul japonez.
As I told you, Dani bought a Camellia a few days ago. I admit, I knew some theories about this plant, so I ask my father about it, to find out some more. Anyway, I think you can find details about this gorgeous plant (so called japanese rose) in any gardening book.
Sunt peste o suta de specii de Camelie in toata lumea. In functie de specie, ea poate atinge si inaltimi de aproape 20 m., fiind un adevarat arbore. Creste foarte repede, cu 25-30 cm. pe an pana la maturitate.
There are over 200 Camellia's species all over the world. Depending on the species, it can reach heights of almost 20 m., a true tree. It grows very fast, about 25-30 cm. per year until maturity.
Cele mai intalnite culori ale florilor Cameliei sunt albul, rozul si rosul. Sunt cateva varietati galbene, acestea fiind destul de pretuite. De obicei, Camelia infloreste la sfarsitul iernii sau inceputul primaverii. A noastra are deja cativa boboci si astept cu interes repararea camerei foto, pentru a ii surprinde.
The common colours of the flowers are white, pink and red. There are some yellow varieties, truly appreciated. Usually, Camellia blooms in late winter or early spring. Ours has a few buds already and I am waiting impatiently my photo camera to catch their bloom.
Din frunzele Cameliei Sinensis se face ceai, ea fiind denumita si "planta ceai". Din frunzele sale se extrage si un ulei de ceai, care este foarte popular in China pentru gatit.
From Camellia Sinensis leaves you can make tea, the other name for this variety beeing "tea plant". From its leaves you can extract also tea oil, very popular for cooking in China.
Este indicat sa alegeti un loc racoros pentru aceasta planta, dar odata stabilit, sa nu o mai mutati. Riscati sa pierdeti toti mugurii pe care planta ii are in acel moment. Ii place lumina, dar detesta soarele direct si caldura in apropiere. Chiar daca ii plac locurile racoroase, nu ezitati sa o udati din abundenta, in special pe frunze. Va sugerez sa foloositi apa plata sau dedurizata, pentru a evita depunerile de pe frunze - calciu si saruri. Nu ii plac transplantarile dese, asa ca este bine sa alegeti de prima oara un ghiveci mai mare decat e cazul.
It is wise to choose a cool place for this plant, but if you choose it, don't move it. The risk is that you will lose all the buds. Camellia likes the light, but hates the direct sunlight and close warmth. Don't hesitate to use a lot of water, especially on the leaves. I am suggesting you to use water without limestone, to prevent the calcium and salts to settle down on the leaves. Choose a larger pot from the beginning, because Camellia hates to move from one pot to another.
Pentru gradinarii de ocazie sau pentru cei care nu prea stau pe acasa, aceasta planta este considerata pretentioasa. In realitate, insa, necesita o ingrijire putin mai atenta doar in perioada de inflorire. In rest, se comporta frumos in gradina si va bucura zilnic ochiul.
For ocassional gardeners or for those who are not spending a lot of time at home, this plant is considered highly maintenance. In reality, though, Camellis needs a careful care only in the blooming time. All year long, Camellia is a beautiful plant in the garden and brings joy to your eyes.

Clematite - Clematis
Oricum, vreau sa va spun ca aceste Clematite sunt foarte iubite de toti gradinarii. Pentru ca au flori superbe, o varietate larga de specii si o paleta mare de culori. Se cunosc peste 200 specii in toata lumea, exceptand continentul african. Dar prin incrucisari, acum sunt peste 400. Seamana ca si dezvoltare cu zorelele, pentru ca se catara ca lianele si se folosesc de petiolul frunzelor proprii.
Anyway, I want to say to you that these Clematis are loved by all gardeners. They have beautiful flowers, many species and a wide range of colours. There are over 200 species all over the world, except Africa. After many crossings, right now there are 400 species. They resemble with Morning Glory, because they climb like lianas and they use their own leafstalk.
Multa lume nu stie, dar Clematitele au fost folosite in trecut in mancare, in locul piperului negru, care era foarte rar si foarte scump.
Many people don't know, but Clematis were used like spice for food, a substitute for black pepper, which was very rare and very expensive.
Se extrage ulei esential din Clematite, dar eu nu l-as folosi in sapunurile naturale Soapmill. Este puternic alergenic, depasind chiar si scortisoara la acest capitol. Planta in sine este toxica si trebuie sa supravegheati copiii, sa nu inghita bucati din ea.
You can extract essential oil from Clematis, but I wouldn't use it in Soap Mill natural soaps. It's highly allergic, over the cinnamon, if you want a comparison. The plant is toxic and you have to watch the children not to ingest it.
Avand in vedere ca este o planta cataratoare, este perfecta pentru spaliere, pergole, arcade din fier, foisoare sau garduri. Dar, ca la orice planta agatatoare, doar tulpina e indicat sa fie in plin soare, baza ar trebui sa fie in umbra. Eu cred ca puteti "masca" cu alte flori pitice locul unde intra tulpina de Clematite in pamant sau o puteti planta langa un foisor.
Considering that it is a climbing plant, it's perfect for trelisses, pergolas, iron arches, garden towers or fences. But, as any other climbing plant, only the stalk must stay in the sun. The base should be in a shadow. I think you can use small flowers around the stalk or you can plant it near a garden tower.
Anumite varietati de Clematite infloresc in aprilie, altele toamna tarziu. Unora le place soarele, altele prefera doar 2-3 ore pe zi. Si pentru unele si pentru celelalte, este indicata o udare abundenta, mai ales in perioadele secetoase.
Some Clematis species bloom in April, other late fall. Some Clematis love the sun, others love the sun, but only 2-3 hours per day. Both types are in need for plenty of water, especially during drought periods.
Plantele din Romania s-au adaptat destul de bine la clima noastra, dar eu v-as sfatui sa protejati foarte bine locul unde tulpina intra in pamant. Cu frunze uscate sau paie. Se planteaza primavara, adica cum le vom planta noi anul acesta, in martie-aprilie. Anul urmator, este indicat sa le taiati la maxim 50 cm. deasupra solului pentru a isi crea o radacina puternica si o tulpina viguroasa.
Clematis adjusted to Romanian weather and conditions, but I am suggesting that you should protect the stalk and the roots during the winter. You can use dead leaves or straws. You can plant them during spring time, like us, this year, in March-April. Next year you should cut the stalk at 50 cm. maximum, to create a good root and a vigurous stalk.

Revenire in forta
Eiiii, da!
Dupa o absenta notabila din lumea virtuala a gradinaritului, revin astazi in forta! Sper ca nu m-ati uitat, nu ati uitat nici gradina mea si mai sper sa va foloseasca informatiile pe care eu le prezint aici, cele mai multe din experienta personala.
Ooo, yess! After a looong vacation from my virtual gardening corner, today I'm back! I am hoping you didn't forget me, you didn't forget my garden and I am hoping also to value my information, many of them from my personal experience.
Si, ca sa va fac curiosi, maine voi vorbi despre Clematite. Nu este intamplator acest viitor post, pentru ca aseara Dani a cumparat doua Clematite, una alba si una roz, un Prunus Sylvia (observati coincidenta de nume?) si o Camelia.
And to add some mistery, I am telling you that tomorrow I will talk about Clematis. Nothing is by chance with this future post. Last night, my husband bought 2 Clematis, white and soft pink, one Prunus Sylvia (do you see the name coincidence?) and a Camelia.
Sper ca voi avea si fotografii, pentru ca am probleme din nou cu camera foto. Dar poate rezolv!
I am hoping that I will have photos, because my camera has some problems again. But maybe I will have luck!
Va astept pe toti de acum inainte, pentru ca sper sa am noutati macar la doua zile, daca nu zilnic! E primavara, ne trezim la viata cu totii si readucem in prim-plan bucuria pe care o avem cand gradinarim! Avem o pasiune comuna, asa ca sper ca veti fi din nou activi pe micul meu blog de gradinarit.
I am welcoming all of you here! I am wishing to have at least one new post per day. It's spring in Romania and we want to bring up-front our joy for gardening! We have a common passion, so I am hoping that you will be active again on my little gardening blog! See you soon!

Update late October - Update la sfarsit de octombrie
Vor veni si fotografii maine, pentru ca Dani mi-a luat card-ul din greseala. :)
I will have photos tomorrow, because Dani took my card by mistake. :)
Am adus toate florile in casa inca de acum doua saptamani si am ramas uimita ieri, cand le-am udat, de progresul lor in casa.
I brought all the flowers into the house since 2 weeks ago and I was stunned yesterday when I saw them.
Narcisa alba a inflorit, de unde toata vara, afara, nu a facut o floare macar, Oncidium de la Cristina are o floare superba, galbena, Trifoiul roz si-a marit productia de flori, Muscatele sunt superbe, Trandafirul japonez are 2 flori!
The white Narcissus bloomed, and all summer long had zero flowers, Oncidium has a beautiful yellow flower, pick trefoil has many new flowers, Geraniums are gorgeous, Japanese rose has 2 flowers!
Am cumparat si un lampadar special pentru florile de pe scara la etaj. Pe casa scarii este multa lumina in mod obisnuit, dar cand sunt zile cu ploaie si nori, florile de acolo sunt cam in umbra. Am dus Monstera (doua bucati), un trandafir japonez si cele doua Canna.
I bought a standard lamp especially for the first floor flowers. Usually, the staircase has plenty of light, but when it is a cloudy, rainy day, the flowers are in a shadow there. I have two Monstera, Japanese Rose and two Canna.
Evident ca le-am aranjat altfel decat anul trecut, dar acum parca ar fi mai aerisite, cu toate ca sunt mai multe. :) Am reusit imposibilul, recunosc! Poate maine, cand o sa realizez fotografiile, o sa le si numar. Chiar sunt curioasa cate plante am in casa!
Of course, the set-up in the house is different from last yeat, but now looks more light, although I have more plants than last year. I made the impossible possible, I know! :) Maybe tomorrow, when I will take the pictures, I will countdown them. I am curious to know how many plants I have in my home!
Am neglijat acest blog si chiar imi pare rau, dar de cand ne-am apucat de business, de cand am inceput sa concepem retetele de sapun natural, de cand am pus la punct marca Soap Mill, de cand am inceput sa ne extindem oferta de sapunuri naturale si sa continuam cu lansarile, nu mai am timp de nimic! Si cand spun nimic, nu exagerez. Am grija de Mariuca si ma ocup de Soap Mill. Atat si nimic mai mult. Dar sper ca lucrurile sa intre pe un fagas normal incepand cu anul viitor, mai ales ca nu mai e mult pana atunci. Va mai fi nebunia de sfarsit de an, deja am semnat participarea la doua targuri, dar o sa incerc sa mai scriu si aici, pentru ca mi-e drag acest blog.
Si pregatim site-ul http://www.soapmill.ro/ si in engleza! Aviz amatorilor prieteni din strainatate! Iar in curand, vom avea distributie in UK.
I neglected this blog and I am sorry, but I don't have anymore spare time!! Starting with our idea of business, with the original recepies of natural soap, the Soap Mill brand, a new launch after a new launch, I am taking care of Mariuca and Soap Mill activities and that's it! I am hoping that in 2010 things will change. We will have a rough time at the end of this year, with all the fairs and Christmas time, but I will try to write something new here, because I care about this blog. :)
We are preparing the www.soapmill.ro website also in English! This is for our friends abroad! And soon, we will have distribution in UK.
Maine va astept la fotografii, daaaaa? :)
Tomorrow... pictures... OooooK?? :)

Storm - Furtuna (video)
Va invit sa vizionati un videoclip de un minut si jumatate, sa vedeti ce am trait eu intr-o noapte si ce am filmat din casa... Extraordinar, as putea spune!
Incerc sa postez cat de curand, maine sau poimaine, despre gradina noastra! Multe lucruri s-au schimbat, recolta s-a adunat (nu toata), Magnolia a inflorit din nou, capsunii fac fructe intr-o veselie si totul este frumos. O sa vedeti in fotografii! :)
Pana atunci, va invit incepand cu 15 septembrie pe site-ul Soap Mill, http://www.soapmill.ro! Acolo vom sarbatori lansarea marcii Soap Mill cu surle si trambite si discount-uri la toate produsele!

Dieffenbachia
Am promis ca vorbesc despre Dieffenbachia inainte de concediu si nu am mai apucat. Sunt atat de prinsa cu lansarea Soap Mill de pe 15 septembrie, incat nu am mai reusit sa scriu nimic aici sau pe BDG. Foarte rar si pe blog-ul personal. Ma veti ierta, pentru ca stiti ca ma preocupa altele momentan...
I promised that I will talk about Dieffenbachia before our vacation and I didn't had the time to do that. I am so busy with Soap Mill's launching on September 15th that I didn't write anything here or on BDG. And only a few posts on my personal blog. You will forgive for that, because you know I'm busy like a bee...
Dieffenbachia este o planta decorativa prin frunze mari, cu numeroase striuri sau pete albe sau galbene.
Dieffenbachia is a decorative plant with big leaves, a lot of striations and white/yellow spots.
Se simte excelent la temperaturi de 25-30 grade Celsius, pentru ca este o planta tropicala. Iarna nu trebuie tinuta in frig, asa ca trebuie mutata in casa.
A temperature of 25-30 Celsius degrees is great for this tropical plant. In the winter time, don't keep it outside!
In mod normal, Dieffenbachia prefera locuri luminoase, calduroase, langa ferestre. Adora apa si este indicat sa ii stropiti frunzele frecvent.
Normally, Dieffenbachia prefferes bright, warm places, near windows. Loves the water and it's better for it to wet the leaes frequently.
Se dezvolta ok in pamant aerisit si bine drenat, deoarece are cu radacini mici si multe, stranse la un loc.
The soil must be aired and drained, because has small roots and cluttered.
Planta are o tulpina cheala, din cauza pierderii frunzelor de la baza. Datorita si acestui aspect, tulpina este, de cele mai multe ori, foarte moale, si trebuie sustinuta cu araci grosi si inalti. Ca sa dezvolte o tulpina mai viguroasa, va recomand taierea varfului plantei. Eu am 3 Dieffenbachia, iar cea mai mica dintre ele trebuie sustinuta in curand. Deocamdata este proptita de geam.
The plant has a bold stalk due to dying base leaves. Because of this fact too, the stalk is soft and must be sustained with thick tall props. To develop a vigurous stalk I recommend you to cut the top of the plant. I have 3 Dieffenbachia, and the smallest must be sustained soon. Right now is leaning on the window glass.
Ca multe alte flori prezente in casele noastre, Dieffenbachia este toxica. Nu o lasati in preajma copiilor sau a animalelor de companie. Nu este periculoasa decat daca este taiata, fiindca numai sucul din tulpina este toxic. Va recomand sa folositi manusi atunci cand este cazul sa o taiati.
As many other flowers in our homes, Dieffenbachia is poisoning. Don't let it close to children or pets. It is not dangerous unless is cut, because only the juice is toxic. I recommend you to use gloves when you need to cut it.
Poate nu stiati, dar Dieffenbachia face si flori. Eu, personal, nu am vazut niciodata. Si asta pentru ca numai plantele mature fac flori. Acestea sunt albe, neinteresante, tipice familiei Aracae.
Maybe you didn't know, but Dieffenbachia has flowers. Me... personally... never saw a flower. Only mature plants have flowers. White, drab, typical for Aracae family.
Genul Dieffenbachia cuprinde aproximativ 35 de specii. Diferentele intre acestea constau in dimensiunea plantei, marimea frunzelor si modelul acestora.
Dieffenbachia type has 35 species. The differences between them are: the size of the plant, the size of the leaves and the type of the leaves.
Bolile frecvente care afecteaza aceasta planta sunt virozele si bacterioza. Daunatorii care o ataca sunt paduchii de frunze si paianjenul rosu.
Usual diseases are virosis and bacillus. The pests attacking are leaves bugs and red spider.
Va mai recomand sa ii schimbati anual pamantul, deoarece un pamant udat foarte des isi pierde din calitati. Cel mai bine este sa o mutati primavara, eventual si intr-un alt ghiveci.
I will advise you to change the soil every year. You should move it every spring in a new pot.
Acum mai multi ani, imi aduc aminte ca nu am mai avut loc si de brad, pentru ca aparusera foarte multe plante in casa (fusese foarte frig afara si tatal meu a adus in casa toate plantele de pe scara blocului). Ca atare, am pus o Dieffenbachia pe o masa si am impodobit-o ca un pom de Craciun. A fost superb! O sa-mi aduc aminte de fiecare data cu placere de acele sarbatori de iarna. Iubesc aceasta planta!
Several years ago, I remember that we didn't have the space for a Christmas tree. All the plants in front of our apartment were in our home because it was very cold outside that year. So, we put a Dieffenbachia on a table and we decorate it like a Christmas tree. It was beautiful! I will remember that winter holidays my whole life! I love this plant!
