The Winter Delights...



Hi Everyone,

The winter season has almost come to its end. This winter i had a great experience with my garden. Lovely shades of color were all around the garden. Each corner had its own delight. Even the climbers which had been growing all year round have come up with beautiful blooms. The vividness of the colors and flowers were just breath taking.  

Here are some of the clicks from my garden.

I know I had posted bougainvilleas before but I can't resist posting these bougainvillea again. They are just so attractive.

Last year my violet passion vine had come up with a huge display of flower. The creeper had grown very huge and it was very difficult to handle. Hence i decided to prune the plant, but this year it did not grow well and hence there were no blooms on that passion vine rather the red passion vine has come up with a lot of flowers.

The Cosmos are very favorite to me. They come up with attractive blooms and as the blooms die, these plants develops seeds, which directly go back to the soil and produce a whole lot of new plants.

    The plants just have to be provided with the basic things they require to grow. Yes sometimes they are more demanding.

Marigolds...

Hi Everyone, Marigolds are the plants which are very easy growing. A winter garden without them is not just complete for me. I planted the saplings of marigolds a month ago using the same kind of potting mix (Cow dung manure and soil in a ratio of 1:1) used for my other plants.The plant needs very little care and produces a lot flowers. These plants enjoy full sun and watering them once in a day will keep them growing well. I used a commercial foliar spray and a recipe (Which i will be sharing soon in my blog) of my own to boost the plants at 21st day after planting them.  Sharing some of the snaps from my garden... I just love the white marigold. marigold marigold marigold marigold marigold marigold marigold Hope you enjoyed the post. See you soon in my next post. Till then stay happy and blessed. Happy Gardening!

Wonderful Azaleas...

Welcome back readers! In the quest of adding more color to my garden, recently I have acquired two Azalea plants. Azaleas are a bit difficult growers. There are certain things that needs to be taken care of if we add Azaleas to our garden. The first and the foremost requirement of an Azalea plant is the type and quality of potting mix that is being used to grow these plants. I went through a number sites and browsed various pages so as to conclude on the use of the best potting mix required for these plants. Last year I had killed one of my Azalea by choking its root in a poor quality soil. The characteristics that the potting mix should have is it most be porous so as to circulate enough air in between the  roots and provide good drainage to the excessive water, at the same time the soil should be able to store enough moisture. The soil must have enough organic matter. The potting mix that I have used is half part of soil and one part each vermicompost, compost, cow dung manu...

My recipe for a healthy garden...

Image
Hi Everyone, I went through several website to get the recipe for the perfect potting mix. After several researches I came along some ingredients which when mixed in a ratio results in a healthy potting mix. Potting mix is the most important thing for the plants. Some important characteristics that a potting mix should have are listed in the subsequent lines. The potting mix should be able to hold water and at the same time it should drain out excessive water. It should be rich in nutrients and to be specific NPK. Nitrogen , phosphorus and potassium are the basic building blocks for the garden to flourish, but at the same time the soil should contain some micro nutrients like zinc, calcium, boron magnesium and the list goes on. Another characteristic of the potting soil is porosity not only in terms of water but also proper air circulation must be present to help the roots breath. Besides porosity, the potting mix must be light. Nutrient rich soil helps the plants grow healthy and...
