How abt yrs?

Rgds.

You mean you keep them in your backyard even in winter :shock

even today though sun was out all day.. it was chill and last year my jasmine was struggling even though I brought it in by early september

This year I decided to take them may be late august and bring them to my second floor... so it will be warm I guess.. I hopeeeeeeee..

Puni.. niceeeeeeeee.... why not post your flower garden pics here and we members will brake to your thread in the forum :mrgreen

hi puni
I got a small idea.
In India our farmers put some colorful silk papers here & there in the crops.so that due to wind they move & make sounds.for that sounds squirrels wont come.
The same way here,may be we can try with the decorative peices used for B'day parties.
I never tried it but just striked my mind.Don't know whether it works or not.
regards

No, no way.it is inside. but, near the backyard door and our kitchen will get plenty of sunlight and so do the plants too. Yes, it is chilly today as said. Whenever it was good, taking all the plants out until evening and then, transferring inside(big job, no).

BTW, when is the right time for beans plant to put on the ground, chithra or anyone? Same with cucumber, pls share..

Thanks.

I usually put seedlings in the ground after last freeze is over. Thats temps remain safely in the 50;s even at nights.. hope this helps:)

Hi all

I am planning some flower & ornamental plants garden along the compound of my house. It would be helpful if I get a list of plants to grow......

I was fascinated by the garden they have in Mother's ashram in Pondi. But i do not know where to get many of those plants that they have and what their names are....

Please provide me some inputs.

Cheers

my idea is to visit a nursery and see and select:)

Hi Sindhu,
Thanks for your wishes.
Half of my lilies had gone.
I had to sow them again and couple of other bulbs.
My tulips looks very good.
I have taken pictures, i will post them shortly.

Hi chithra or anyone,

Can you tell me on avoiding the small flies around the plants? Since the plants are inside, all of a sudden, they have started coming around. Any idea on removal??

Thanks
