The Cactii Patch, originally uploaded by malyousif. I love this arrangement. I change it around once in a while, but generally I’m really happy I opted to replant most of the cactii in pots about 3 years ago. Have a wonderful weekend my friends.
The Buddha patch, originally uploaded by malyousif. I can’t remember when it was that I showed you the Buddha patch last, so here it is as of a couple of hours ago. You can see how scorched some of the plants look. It’s summer. The death season for everything green! Nevertheless, have a wonderful weekend [...]
Beautiful front garden, originally uploaded by malyousif. This is a house located at the middle of the Saar avenue and a lot of people pass it every day. I personally get to pass it once in a while and every time I do, as I am sure the many hundreds or thousands of others that [...]
My Garden, originally uploaded by malyousif. A stitched vertical panorama of my garden. This is one of my favourite views of the garden, at the back "alley" looking into the front garden. It’s Winter now, so there is barely any colour, but come Spring that story will change and I hope that I will post [...]
Reclaiming the pool deck, originally uploaded by malyousif. The far side of the pool deck, by the changing and pump rooms, was neglected since we moved in really.

I am not very happy with the baskets I’ve put up so far, probably because I am impatient and couldn’t wait for the plants to actually develop from seed; which some of them admittedly are doing pretty well so far, and as I was on a quick business trip this morning to Saudi, I thought [...]
Why waste a perfectly good mid-week break celebrating the New Year? Exactly! I woke up early as usual and was itching to play in sand again. I can’t help it, I’m a child at heart Over by the pool seemed to be a perfect location. I never really liked the strip of grass in front [...]
Holiday project – Oriental Patch Lighting, originally uploaded by malyousif. The first project of the holidays has finished! I spent today wiring up the Oriental Patch for 3 more lights: a flood directed at Buddha and two lanterns. This shows the final result, what do you think?
This is the first time I try my hands at hanging baskets. I bought 4 large ceramic hanging baskets from Al-Sultan Garden Centre in Khobar a while ago and they’ve been staring at me in the shed since. I finally got the chance to coax them off the shelf and onto brackets in the weekend [...]
Oriental patch, originally uploaded by malyousif. It’s coming along nicely! Have a wonderful Friday my friends.
