Welcome to my blog! I am a Dane living in Dubai since the Summer 2008, first in Old Town, Downtown Burj Khalifa now in the Suburb with a small garden. My blog will be about everything from food, my Cookery- and Patisserie Classes, to plants, seeding, nurseries, shopping/finding things in new areas, all the fun stuff living in a metropolis and all the little humps you experience as an expat. If you want to know more, or are new to Dubai, feel free to send me questions or suggestions.

Pelargonie!
My pelargonie bought in Al Safa 2, near Spinneys. I also bought some pots there, but I'll have to go there again a day I'm not in a hurry.
The salesman told me the flowers would be orange. I think, they are a mix between orange and pink, very pretty and eye catching!

Sowing Tomatoes!
![]() |
| My tomatoes just broke ground! |
Now I have a garden, the Summer is over, it's sowing time!
I will try different seeds, some will succeed, some not. I still don't know a lot about sowing and plants in this weather, so I'll just give it a go.
My first attempt will be cherry tomatoes.
So, I bought my favourite tomatoes. Squeezed the tomatoes and spread the seeds out on kitchen towel, folded it, and put it in the sun a few days to dry totally.
It is the jelly stuff around the seeds, that prevent them from sprouting, and I think this is the easiest way to dry them.
Then I gently took the seeds off the paper, and seeded 4 in each little pot, and waited....
After 3 days I could see the first little sprouts, and they are growing fast :-)
I still have them in the sun, I hope that it will help them to get used to the heat. But soon I'll place them different places in the garden, so that if they die, it hopefully wont be all of them.
So, after this first (so far successful) attempt, I will try different seeds now. Don't know which yet, I'll go to the Hypermarkets and nurseries to get ideas.
