Two years ago, I thought I was just planting some hydrangeas. Maybe adding a bit of curb appeal. Fast forward to now: I am a woman possessed. Not by demons (though that would make for a good Tuesday), but by creepers! No, not the kind that lurk in […]
Describe the most ambitious DIY project you’ve ever taken on. Ah, the ambitious odyssey that is my DIY yard project – a venture that began as a humble attempt to tame nature’s chaos and has morphed into an epic tale of horticultural conquests and financial acrobatics. Little did […]
What are your favorite physical activities or exercises? In the realm of physical activities, where ellipticals hum and walking shoes find their rhythm, an unexpected contender has joined my daily workout ensemble – gardening. Yes, you heard it right.

I am horrible with plants. Just horrible. So bad that even fake plants and flowers wilt on my balcony. Sad! Indeed. Back when I lived in Berkeley I tried growing a bunch of plants and cacti on the balcony. Only thing that happened is that they got to […]
Over a decade ago, I thought I would give gardening a try. Well, it was balcony gardening in Berkeley. Everyone in the Bay area is growing something there, if you get my drift. I didn’t fancy myself a gardener or envisioned myself having any type of green thumb. […]
