back to gardening..

Had moved to a new place that was under construction and had to give away most of my earlier plants and herbs, and have started a small garden for the last 6 months..feels great.. and here is a glimpse into it.

I have been making my own compost, with vegetable peels, coffee grinds and much more..and it shows in the flowers and the leaves..

Most of them are from cuttings and seeds that i save from the vegetables and leaves that bought for home consumption..like mint, ponnaganni ( a leaf that is good for eyes..and is full of iron) from the twig off the bunch, and manathakkali (night shade) grown from the fruits that were in the bunch.

the sangu pushpam from a seed i got of the plant at a friend's place. betel from a clipping from another relatives place..

i am propagating the rose plants and have successfully planted in our common garden too..

the squirrels do not allow any of the hibiscus buds to bloom and we do not have any solutions,,even they bite the black covers i tie around the buds...:drowning:rant

 

some more....

 

now the last tiny dots are a challenge for me.. when i went to buy plants at this nursery these succulents We Dig Flowers: Succulents | Vine (the green rose like) was being sold at 100-120rs per small one.. and i got this rotten twig with 2 small shoots from the friend in that nursery stating that i should give it a try..so keeping fingers crossed

 

you are pressed for space but love plants what is stopping you.. nothing absolutely try to grow them in anything.

everytime i look at these moneyplants, i think of children who can be guided in the right path with a little love and direction..i grow them in chipped mugs, oil jars, and anything...

 

saras, thanks buddy..the blue flower that is peeping in the second post, second picture.. i have also sown one pod of seed from a white one..and the squirrel uprooted the sapling that sprouted..

the rose is too big, and i took it from a long shot..yet the whiteness looks blurred... and yes that is omavalli..

seriously i am fighting against these small chirpy monsters....and i am sure you will start soon..come on buddy..

 

no worries..it is just a challenge..will post when i get them to grow bigger... and how are you..
