Simple gardening – Storage, gardening tools, greenhouse, and hotbed /3
Space for storage When considering space, it’s essential to factor in storage for tools. I recommend a dry, well-ventilated area close to where you’ll be working. The farther away, the more likely you’ll leave your tools outside, leading to quicker deterioration. Depending on what plants we want to grow and in what quantity, we must carefully consider whether we have…

Simple gardening – Fences, paths, and borders in the garden /2
Fences. I recommend fencing the entire property with a high and solid fence. Plenty of wild animals are attracted to enter your garden. Depending on your location, the animals will vary, of course. In my location, there are families of boars who like to dig in the ground, especially when the crops are almost ready to be harvested. They will…

Interpretation of dreams as cooperation with our unconscious
We live in the 21st century, and the world of dreams is as mysterious to us as it was a hundred years ago, when, for example, Freud or Carl G. Jung dealt with them. How is it possible? How is it that our knowledge has yet to progress further? One possible answer is that we used to think we only…

Why we should have a garden
How many times have I written and rewritten this article…so now, hopefully, this version will be finally sufficient. I spend as much time as possible in nature every day. It helps clear the mind of unpleasant thoughts, and it gives energy. But I perceive a difference between being in the wild nature and one’s own garden. The mountain we live…

Slow living in the Italian way
When people talk about slow living, I imagine being in a Scandinavian hygge simple minimalist house in the middle of the woods, where I sip coffee while writing down my thoughts and emotions, lifting my head and looking out the window at the landscape where it is snowing and a bird flies by. Chopin’s nocturnes playing in the background. Let’s…

My artistic journey
I wanted to write a few lines about my artistic journey. How I drew constantly as a child, illustrated my short stories during the summer vacations, created 2 comic books during my illness when I was 10, painted with artists in studios, or how I went to art college studios without being accepted to study (that was the best thing…
