In the right foreground is some dried up fungi growing on top of a dead tree stump. To the left is a geranium with a bright, but intense shade of pink growing against the red bricks of the garage. In between the two are the small green leaves of a jasmine plant that is probably around 25cm tall. It is growing against a wooden fence.

   Someone at work showed us a phot of his enormous jasmine and said that it had grown rapidly after he started tipping his coffee grounds underneath.

   About 6 months ago I planted some jasmine cuttings that were barely 10 cms after 3 years of tending them in a pot. I planted them in front of our garage in a small patch of dirt that I am sure is very poor quality. About three months ago I started putting coffee grounds at the base of them. They both responded, but one more so than the other. Just this week I tipped a lot more on the one that was not growing so vigorously and it has grown amazingly in the days since.
