Hello world!

Aouni — Tue, 05 Aug 2008 13:56:12 +0000

I thought for a while, what’s more lovely than greeting you by the wordpress default first-post phrase “Hello World”? That’s fine, so, hello world! How are you? Welcome to our baby gardening blog, plantism.

From the Arab world, specifically Lebanon, my fellow agricultural engineer, Anisa, and I, will accompany you in a long “trip of posts”, which we hope you will enjoy.

You’ll get to know about gardening in general, from a somewhat different viewpoint, which is rich in Arabic “spices”. In addition, we look forward to introduce you to our prosperous Arab culture as part of the various gardening topics which we’ll discuss. Hope you find that tempting. We should know each other better through our posts and your comments. Catch me up soon, then.

Please consider subscribing to our rss feeds, to get the latest posts delivered to your email.

Have a nice day,
Aouni.
