A couple of weeks ago, I sowed some seeds where my flatmate calls it "your mini-garden". Yet, I just have onions, chives, parsley, thyme... and strawberries should be about to sproud shortly. I also have a bulletproof plant that never dies, with very beautiful flowers that blossom every now and then.
There are hardly the people who do not associate flowers with joy and relaxation. A study published in 2005 reveals the presence of flowers triggers happy emotions, heightens feelings of life satisfaction and affects social behaviour in a positive manner. However, I personally like them planted. Although receiving a beautiful bouquet is always nice, especially from someone you love, seeing how flowers die day after day makes me very sad.
