During the month of august I was unable to harvest any of the zucchini in my (small) vegetable garden due to some pollination issues. To go short I loved the courgette flowers a little too much and the plant didn't have enough time to develop any zucchini fruits. But with a helping hand I will Read article…

Sucker for Succulents
Since the few agaves I dug out in the South of France survived the trip home and started to grow super fast, I'm very much into any type of succulent. I just love their blueish and white shades of green and the graphic shapes. Besides the agaves, I also started to grow lots of cacti, Read article…
The palm of my hand
Recently I had quite an overdose of palm trees, agaves and cactus plants. Maybe that's why I'm really into this photography series by Mattieu Gafsou. Also these by Hervé Plumet are worth a look. And how fantastic is this?! Did you know that hands can be dangerous? One of the first things I noticed in Read article…
Pearl
Pearl's girl. Not a reference to the song by Underworld, but more to the magpie I am myself. I found some beautiful pearls to share with you. We will never be green enough, so for some ultimate green inspiration, Veer created this amazing microsite. More inspiration per theme can be found in photographic webmag Purpose. The childhood edition contains some challenging Read article…
It’s so easy being green
Early spring I wanted to post about the fresh pink blossom cheering up the city and countryside, even including a happy song about blossom and a new found sweet design blog called bloesem.

Ice ice baby!
Over a year after the official release of March of the Penguins, I saw it last night. And then some Chinese monsters ate this blogpost and unfortunately it was lost forever. The only thing I can say, is that the March of the Penguins is a beautiful documentary with stunning images. If you haven't Read article…
I’m very VAR
The rhythm of the South of France is definately not the same as the Parisian. La ferme Capelude is very special to me and it’s for sale! Hidden in a valley of the Maures Hills, the farm is situated at 12km from Collobrières and Grimaud, on a terrain of 220000 square meters and fully equiped Read article…
The end of the season
The weather is really forcing… And then these horrible Chinese hackers replaced parts of this blogpost by some unreadable signs. I wrote this post in the summer of 2006, so I don't quite see what the Pierrefonds castle covered in snow has got to do with it. The castle of Pierrefonds is definitely worth Read article…
