Bilik anak

Selepas anak2 sulung ummi pergi sekolah, ummi masuk ke bilik diorang. Anak2 sulung anak lelaki. Anak kembar. Along dan abang 8 tahun darjah 2. Atas katil mereka ada baju tido salah sorg drpd mereka, ada tuala milik salah sorg drp mereka, ada mainan dan buku2 komik yg biasanya dibawa ke atas katil oleh salah seorang drpd mereka. Yang sorang lagi menyidai tuala dengan elok dan meletak baju tido masam ke dalam raga baju kotor. Yang culas sikit ni makan nasi berterabur atas lantai, banyak bercakap selalunya bercakap sorang2 dengan dua watak sekaligus. Anak2 memang pelik. Personaliti yang berbeza2. Kdg2 sukar nk fahami mereka walaupun ummi 24 jam berada di rumah. Ummi harap along dan abang bertambah matang. Along (fathul) semakin ok. Tahun ni walaupun along masih muntah2, along tunjukkan semangat untuk terus pergi ke sekolah. Tahniah along. Hidup ini perlu berjuang. Tiada tempat untuk orang yang manja dan malas!! Ada suatu hari, Nashrul (abang) merungut kerana katanya ummi masak tidak sedap. Ummi cakap makan je jgn banyak merungut. Di negara Syria, kanak2 mcm Nashrul hanya mengutip serbuk2 roti di atas tanah untuk makan. Dan bla..bla..perang...pelarian..tido dlm khemah...bla..bla. Entah Nashrul faham atau tidak. Anak2 perlu diajar hidup susah sesekali. Tambah2 ank lelaki. Nak jadi pemimpin tak boleh manja2 huhu.

6 steps to a no work cottage garden

1. Start small. "Don't create a monster that you don't have time to feed regularly," Trout says. "Keep your cottage garden small, and most of all, fun." Over time, as your confidence grows, increase the size.

2. Invest in soil. "Starting with good, rich, organic soil where plants will thrive with a minimum of watering and fertilizing cuts the work from the start," Trout says. He also recommends doing a soil test to learn the type of soil you have. Add organic matter yearly, either by purchasing compost or making your own.

3. Position plants carefully. Much work in a garden comes from not having the right plant in the right place. As you gain gardening experience, you can push the envelope, Trout says. "But the healthiest plants -- ones that need less care -- are those that are in ideal conditions," he adds.

4. Select sturdy beauties."Choose high-performance, almost bulletproof plants," Trout says. "There is no absolutely right way or wrong way to create a cottage garden, so choose what you love."

Some of Trout's favorite plants include spring-flowering bulbs, purple coneflower (Echinacea purpurea), wild indigo (Baptisia australis), 'Stella d'Oro' or 'Happy Returns' daylily (Hemerocallis), New England aster (Aster novae-angliae 'Alma Potschke'), and Russian sage (Perovskia atriplicifolia'Blue Spire').

For foliage interest, try lady's mantle (Alchemilla mollis), lambs' ears (Stachys byzantina 'Helene Von Stein'), or blue fescue (Festuca glauca). Avoid high-maintenance roses. Trout suggests growing tough, disease-resistant Knock Out shrub roses, Meidiland landscape roses, 'Betty Prior' (a floribunda rose), or the old-fashioned climber 'Blaze'.

5. Cover soil. "Mulching helps maintain soil moisture levels and prevents weeds from growing," Trout says. "As organic mulch (bark, compost, or leaf mold) breaks down, it improves soil. Mulch also gives the garden a neater, more unified look."

6. Make it automatic. Trade dragging a hose around for hands-free watering. "I like drip hoses, as it's easy to put the water exactly where you want it -- and not on the foliage or flowers," Trout says. "It's also more environmentally correct: Less water evaporates into the air."
