How to Create the Garden You Always Wanted
Does your garden have the colors, the texture, the smells and the sounds you always wanted? Does your garden reflect your bold and splashy side or compliment your tranquil nature?
So... is your garden the garden you always wanted?
If not, I have something for you. A report (better yet: a FREE report) that will help you to create the garden you always wanted.
Why I sat down to write a 46 page report? That's because I see to many people struggling. And when it comes to gardening, struggling isn't supposed to be involved.
Gardening is supposed to be fun, relaxing and rewarding. And that's what my "book" ("Mom, I wrote a book!") is all about.
It covers anything (well, almost everything) from planning your garden, choosing the locations, preparing for success, smart garden design, what plants to buy (and where to buy them) and how to make sure your garden becomes as unique as your fingerprint.
The report (guide, eBook - whatever) tells you where to start (probably not where you think you should start) and how to move on. It is however, not a connect-the-dots guide. That's impossible when it comes to gardening. There is no right or wrong. No left or right. But the guide is most certainly gone get you on the right track.
That in itself is a cool thing huh? But most of all, I hope it inspires you to get out there and get your hands dirty. Really, really dirty! :)
Just go to "Tips and Tricks to Create the Garden You Always Wanted", download the report, make yourself a cup of tea, relax and read it. It's FREE remember. You've got nothing to lose here.

- I "borrowed" a friends backyard and put in a vegetable bed... about 16 hours after reading Esmee's book online. I can hardly move today, but it is "done" and I am right pround of it.
Of course, last night it rained, for the first time in a year, so hopefully it didnt wash away.

- Thanks for your quick response. I couldn't wait to read it
so I printed a hard copy. I read it the day you sent it to me
and love it!
I too like butterflies and I almost always plant several pots of Impatiens which
attracts them as well.
I like the idea of planting a butterfly weed and plan to look for one
to plant this spring. Is spring the preferred season to plant the butterfly weed?

- Hi Esmee,
Girl, your pics are great! You've got a great eye for details, that's for sure. Will come book soon to see if there's more.
BTW: just downloaded your book. Great title :) Just what I needed. Got one question: when will you come and help digging :)

- Hi Esmee.
Embrace my frogs? Are you nuts girl!
I'd rather have some plant eaten by bugs.

- Hi Patricia,
You bet! One of the easiest ways is to plant a butterfly bush. However, these grow quite fast and large. Another excellent plant (but much smaller) to attract butterflies is called a butterfly weed.
I hope this helps.
Keep me posted!

- I like butterflies too! :) Are there plants or flowers that attracts these lovely little animals?
Which ones are the weeds? And why...?
Isn't it about time to change our view on weeds...
Have you never wondered who ever determined what was a weed and what was a flower? And why? I know I did! For the last 20 years I was convinced that a weed is a plant that is growing somewhere that it shouldn't be. Now I'm not so sure any more%u2026There are weeds I love dearly. Their color and style will add to the variety of my garden - although I haven't got a clue what most of them are called or where they come from.
The problem with weeds is the fact that many of them are better at seeking out the nutrients in the soil. By doing so there is not much left for 'good guys' that we choose to have in the garden. And that's bad because I love my 'good guys' as well.
But not all weeds spoil your soil. Some do, some don't. That's why I think it's time to change my view on weeds. I think it's time to admit that we call weeds weeds for a reason. That reason being that the plants we call weeds, are the plants that have a mind of their own. They are strong. Independent. We humans fight them because we can't control them. And that ladies and gentlemen, that lack of control, is what we can't stand.
Your thoughts?
Do you have a day-light army and night shift fighting pests in your garden?
I do! Watch the video! (link is in the article)
Frogs can drive you crazy! But... amphibians have a taste for slugs and other vegetable eating pests. So ignore the sound and embrace your frogs :)Come nightfall, they will be off for a night on the town to dine out on the slugs and other pests. Right, the slugs and pests that where getting ready for a night on the town themselves with your carefully cultivated cabbages as dinner...
And that's just my night shift of soldiers....
At sunset I have another division ready for action. They are called birds. You know, those flying little creatures that so many gardeners shoot because they are afraid the birds will pick some berries. Well, they just might. But that's a small price to pay if you consider what else they will be picking. A single pair of birds will stuff thousands of unwanted guests down the throats of their chicks. And the best part: they will do so when the bugs are warming up to attack your fruit blossom and emerging vegetables.
So here you go: two armies that allow me to spend less time on the endless battle against pests.
There is of course more to it then just these few words. I wrote an article about and had my uncle Paul even shoot a bird video. You can read the article on natural pest control here and watch the video at my website www.gardensandflowers.net
Thousand words...
What do you think of my latest pictures...?
I hate doing it but I finally started. Adding pictures to my site I mean. What I hate about it, is the 'technical challenge'. It isn't hard (if you know what you are doing and that took me just 6 months...) but it isn't a fun thing to do (understatement!).Anyway: the first six are up. More will follow in the next couple of days. So please visit the photo gallery on my website, come back here and let me know if you like 'm - or not :)

Thanks!
