About this deal

A beautiful container garden does not have to have all the colors of a rainbow. Sometimes variations of one color, such as the yellows or burgundy colors below, can look drop-dead-gorgeous. Plant list 21: Red Mandevilla, Pink Calibrachoa, Sweet Potato Vine ( Source: Charlottesville Home ) 22. Colorful pink and red flower planters key's prose is luminous and poetic throughout the book, but it particularly shines in the later chapters. i loved the "crazy" chapter detailing her experiences with men which lasted months and years but never fell under the placeholder of "partner/boyfriend" and found it very relatable. key's candour about these relationships (because yes! you are allowed to call them relationships) is so refreshing - i often feel women are pressured into diminishing the impact of the people who treat us badly, especially if this happens outside the limits of a clearly defined romantic partnership. her description of caring for her friend and mentor roddy lumsden through his illness and eventually mourning him after his death is painfully honest but shot through with such tenderness that i nearly cried listening to it. and the final chapter is a beautiful end to the book, with such warm and hopeful reflections on human connection and care outside and within romantic love. Plant list 15: Rosemary, Lobelia ( Source: Deborah Silver ) 16. Water garden / mini pond in tub planter A white Hydrangea bush in a pale blue pot is so simple and elegant. It’s a good idea to use glazed clay pots or plastic pots for larger shrubs that likes moisture in soil, especially if you live in a hot and dry climate.

Beautiful container garden ideas with easy care flowers Here are some great examples of how edibles can be mixed with ornamental plants in garden pots. Plants such as artichokes, swiss chards, onions and chives have dramatic foliage that look great in pots. If a Snapdragon Bouquet is successful, it can be placed and will raise every Sim's motives in the room it is placed in, except energy. However, if it is not successful, it will lower these motives. Aged stone planters and terra cotta pots are great for succulents, cacti, and other drought tolerant plants. Make sure to have drainage hole and soil mixed with gravel and sand as these plants do not like excess moisture. I’m not saying I wish the things that have been personally important for me were commodified in the same way as, say, a wedding might be,” she writes. “But I do wish the culture I grew up in was not so unimaginative and hierarchical in its ability to recognise other life transitions that might be worth marking.”Can scent arrangements with Tulips and Christmas Roses Level 4 arrangements will be of higher quality Some tropical plants grow well in water filled containers, which look great on a patio. These jade green ceramic pots are perfect for lush green tropical plants! i bought this book at Shakespeare and Company, alongside “Things I Don’t Want to Know About”, by Deborah Levy — non-fiction is the genre I have been most interested in this year, and my current obsession with blue covers paved the way for this “double bill”.

When poet Amy Key was growing up, she looked forward to a life shaped by romance, fuelled by desire, longing and the conventional markers of success that come when you share a life with another person. But that didn't happen for her. Now in her forties, she sets out to explore the realities of a life lived in the absence of romantic love. It is totally possible to create attractive planters without using flowers. This patio garden pot is planted with a beautiful mix of foliage plants! Access arrangements (including modified question papers) enable students with special educational needs, disabilities or temporary injuries to take our exams and assessments. How to apply for access arrangements I love the richness in the way Key perceives life, with a poet’s love of details — I especially enjoyed the writing about holidaying alone. Despite covering some very sad topics, it is still a joyful book with a lot of love in it. At times it made me unexpectedly snort with laughter.As it looks at our ideas about starting a family, making a home and even going on holiday, Key’s writing makes clear how pervasive the presumption of coupledom still is. “Nothing has displaced romantic love from its holy status,” she writes, noting the attendant rituals, milestones and material markers – wedding rings and registries, due dates, anniversaries and date nights – that hover out of reach for single people. If you are a student, parent, private candidate or guardian, please discuss and make arrangements with the exams officer at your school or college.

Kitchen garden planter ideas i knew i would love this book long before it came out. I read one of amy key's essays a year or two ago and felt myself reflected in her words. a lot has changed since then, but i still found this book resonating so strongly with me. i listened to it on audiobook (read beautifully by key herself) and felt a pang when I saw there was only an hour and a half left. several parts of the book, particularly the later chapters brought tears to my eyes. i hate describing women who write honestly about their lives as brave, but i do think key is brave to write so openly about her experiences of being single and the journey her life has taken. key takes a topic so many people feel deep shame and self-doubt about (including myself at times earlier in my life!) and shows her vulnerability and strength throughout the book.

Glazed pots come in so many vibrant colors. Use them creatively to complement your container plantings! But what happens when the romance we are all told will give life meaning never presents itself??Now single in her forties, Key explores the sweeping scales of romantic feeling as she has encountered them, using the album Blue as an expressive anchor: from the low notes of loss and unfulfilled desire―punctuated by sharp, discordant feelings of jealousy and regret―to the deep harmony of friendship, and the crescendos of sexual attraction and self-realization. There is a moment in the text where Key discusses her expectations of vacationing as a twenty-something. The glamour she assumed it would bestow, transforming her into a more sophisticated, confident self. But no matter how often she traveled, or where, she always brought the self she was with her. She writes about wanting “the kind of travel I thought went hand in hand with romantic love,” which entailed “staged photos at sunset…hot tubs…to suddenly look chic in a wide-brimmed straw hat.” In other words, luxury was firmly attached to Key’s fantasies of romantic love. “I ached,” she writes, “for the status of relationship that a luxurious holiday would make obvious.” There absolutely is something inherently luxurious about romantic love. Someone outside of yourself appreciating things about you that only another person would notice. Showering you with something beyond kindness. Desiring not only sexual intimacy, but your mere proximity because it comforts them. These are all things that can turn a person into a work of art. Imagine the Mona Lisa coming to life, and holding memories in her mind of the millions who have admired her over the years. We hold ourselves differently when secure in the knowledge of being thoroughly appreciated. This is likely the reason those who are attached get chatted up more often than when they were single. They exude the confidence of the wanted. For most qualifications, exams officers can apply for access arrangements for their students within the JCQ Centre Admin Portal via Centre Services.

Learning not to jam the flowers into vases really hard has let (Sim) make arrangements with more delicate flowers. That deserves a Bronze Flower Arranging Talent Badge!
