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?? :)

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!

Going to the Black Sea - Plec la mare
Pana luni nu ma cautati... Sunt la mare cu Mariuca si Buni. Revin cu partea a doua a gradinii mele la inceput de iulie si fotografii spectaculoase!
Don't try to reach me until Monday... I will be at the Black Sea with Mariuca and my mother. I will come back with a fresh new post about the second part of my garden at the beginning of July and spectacular photos!

My photo camera is broken - Mi s-a stricat camera foto
As fi vrut sa va arat cum am legat trandafirii si cum am aranjat terasa, dar, din pacate, mi s-a stricat camera foto. Cu atat nisip in jur, de la lucrarile din fata casei, cred ca a intrat niste nisip la lentila si nu se mai deschide. Sunt asa de suparata de nu va imaginati! Ca atare, o sa fac o pauza de la fotografii si incerc sa vorbesc la general pentru cateva zile. Dar nu azi. Sper sa ajung zilele astea si sa nu dureze prea mult reparatia.
I wanted to show you how I tied up the roses and how I organised the terrace, but, unfortunately, my photo camera is broken. With all this sand around us, coming from the works we are done in front of the house, I think the lens caught some sand and right now it says that the camera has a lens error. I am soooo upset you can't imagine!!! So, I will take a break from posts with pictures and I will try to talk in a general manner for a few days. But not today. I am hoping to have a few free hours to go to the Canon shop and hoping to solve the problem fast.

Vita-de-vie
In primul rand, vita-de-vie se poate gasi intr-o gramada de locuri, de la Iran la Maroc, din Germania pana in Franta, din Asia pana in Romania.
First of all, you can find the grape vine in numerous places, from Iran to Maroc, from Germany to France, from Asia to Romania.
Nu stiu daca stiati, dar vita-de-vie este, de fapt, o liana, ce poate atinge chiar si inaltimea de 35 metri. Exista si varianta salbatica, cu fructe mici, de 5-6 mm.
I dont't know if you know that, but the grape vine is in fact a liana with a maximum height of 35 m. It has also a wild species, with small fruits, 5-6 mm.
In America de nord a ajuns in jurul anului 1600, cand noi eram cu Mihai Viteazu si a sa unire. Ceea ce exista in Europa si pe alte continente in momentul de fata ca vita-de-vie provine dintr-un soi altoit din America de nord, ca sa poata face fata Phylloxerei. Vreo cativa ani, Europa a ramas fara productie de vin datorita acestei insecte.
In north America the grape vine is reported around 1600, when we were with Mihai Viteazu and its Unification. What exists in Europe and other continents right now results from a graft species from north America, to survive over the Phylloxera. A few years, Europe left without wine production because of this insect.
In Georgia s-a descoperit un depozit de vin vechi de 7.000 ani, asa ca eu zic ca toata lumea aprecia aceasta bautura, inca de cand a aparut femeia, hehe.
In Georgia, a wine cellar was discovered 13 years ago, 7.000 years old, so I think everybody loved this drink, ever since the woman was made up, hehe.
Normal, chinezii, grecii si egiptenii nu s-au lasat mai prejos si au folosit strugurii pentru a prepara vin, dar si pentru a vindeca anumite boli de piele sau ochi. Deoarece contin vitaminele A si B, precum si un colorant cu rol tonic (cei negri), se recomanda chiar si cure de struguri, de 1-2 kg pe zi, pentru a preveni sau trata anumite afectiuni.
Of course, chinese, greeks and egyptians used the grapes to make wine, but also to cure some skin and eyes diseases. Because the grapes are full of A and B vitamins and tonic dye (black ones), it is good to have a grapes diet, 1-2 kg per day, to prevent or to cure some diseases.
La facultate am invatat ca in simbolistica traditionala, vita-de-vie reprezinta trupul lui Isus, iar vinul sangele Lui. Burebista a vrut chiar sa distruga toate culturile de vita-de-vie, pentru ca credea ca oamenii lui sunt tulburati datorita vinului baut.
In college I learned that in traditional symbolistic, the grape vine represents Jesus body, and the wine Its blood. Burebista wanted to destroy all the grape vines because he thought that its people are troubled by the wine.
La Simleul Silvaniei a fost gasit un colier dublu de aur, datand din veacurile III-IV, avand insirate mai multe reproduceri in miniatura ale unor unelte, printre care si un cosor de vie si o foarfeca de vie; el este impodobit cu cinci foi de vita stilizate.
In Simleul Silvaniei was found a double golden necklace, from 3-4 century, with mini-reproduction of tools, a grape vine and a scisor. It has also 5 grape leaves.
La traci, greci si romani, zeul fructelor, vegetatiei si mai ales al vitei-de-vie si al vinului, era Dionysos, caruia romanii ii spuneau Bacchus.
Tracs and greeks had Dionysos, romans had Bacchus - the fruits, vegetation and grape vine god.
Noi avem 5 butasi de vita-de-vie plantati langa gard, dar e de-abia al doilea an, asa ca nu ma astept sa avem struguri mai devreme de 2010, chiar 2011.
We have 5 grape vine planted near the fence, but it's only the second year, so I'm not expecting any grapes before 2010 or even 2011.
Nu am vrut sa va plictisesc cu lucruri deja stiute despre vita-de-vie, m-am gandit sa vin cu cateva informatii interesante si prea putin stiute. Fotografii nu am, pentru ca butasii nostri au cam 10 cm inaltime, dar sper ca stiti cum arata, hehe!

Rome, Italy - Roma, Italia
Am fost intr-o mini-vacanta, mult asteptata si dorita, la Roma. Stiu ca am promis ca voi vorbi despre vita-de-vie, dar, ca sa va imbunez, va arat cateva fotografii de la Roma.
We were in a mini-vacation, so waited and needed, to Rome, Italy. I know I promised that I will talk about grape vine, but, to soften you, I will show you some pictures from Rome.
Maine va astept din nou pe site! Adica ma intorc la treaba si vin cu informatii noi!
Tomorrow I am expecting you again on my site! That means I am back in business and I will come with new information!
