Author Garden: Hello from Mauritius isabelle Gardener Member # 7001 posted                    Hi everyone! I am a new member from Mauritius, which is a little island in the Indian Ocean! I am crazy about gardening in general. I love all flowers and trees, and shrubs, and herbs…well all plants, whether terrestrial or aquatic! I live in a flat for the moment and my garden is restricted to my balcony. How I wish I had a big garden! My collection includes many aromatic herbs and culinary plants (thyme, basilic, chillies, parseley, spring onion, mint, celery, tomato), some flowers (bromeliads, anthuriums, gerbera, Christmas cactus, bougainvilleas, azalea, roses, hibiscus), and some cacti. I never use synthetic pesticides and try to find natural alternatives. I am also an aquarist and love my fishes and aquatic plants. Thanks for all the info on your site. Hope I can be of some help too! Isabelle Plants: 4 | From: Mauritius | Registered: Oct 2005  |  Seeded: 196.22.145.153 penny in ontario Garden Pro!

I live in Ontario, Have you ever been here before? The place you live sounds very hot, perfect weather for gardening Anyhow, I hope to hear from you soon and maybe we could share tips and chat.

No I have never been in Ontario but I will love to visit one day. Yeah, mauritius is a tropical island, ideal for growing fruits and flowers but not really good for plants that love a more temperate climate like lavender. I've had my lavender for over a year now and it has never flowered. Am so sad for my lavender. It still looks healthy though. Will love to share tips with you. What kind of garden do you have, and what plants? Cheers Isabelle Plants: 4 | From: Mauritius | Registered: Oct 2005  |  Seeded: 196.22.145.140 afgreyparrot Official Problem Child Member # 1991 posted                    Welcome to the forum!

I am also a new member , just joined the other day . With your lavender make sure you don't water it to often they love to be dry. I hope it flowers for you next year. see you around the threads. swin Plants: 13 | From: staten island ny | Registered: Oct 2005  |  Seeded: 4.172.30.157 isabelle Gardener Member # 7001 posted                    Hi swin thanks so much for the advice.
