This sping has brought lots of rain and its fun to spend time in gardening. The veggie patch has received some new guests - cabbage is doing really well, Green Pepper is growing surprisingly well, Beans (pavta) is expanding a lot. Success from last year - tomatoes are doing well after some hick up and Parsley (kothimbir) quite successful. Strawberry have been disaster and Cucumber hanging on to just one small plant. Two tiny Grape vines are catching life. This year we have ditched the indoor greenhouse and have planted seeds directly in ground. In flowers front Jaswand is blooming nicely apart from profusely growing roses.Apart from Veggie/flower patch, there are 3 more projects in Backyard. Main garden outside backdoor has received 10 perennial plants. Left back corner at fence has received 5 shade plants and there is plan to make small pond. Center shade garden at fence has received 6 plants. Only half of these 20 odd plants are showing life, hope others also catch life.
In front yard there are two projects. One is the annual flower bed on both sides of entrance. It has been extremely successful with many colorful flowers blooming constantly. Other project is lawn care. This year we have decided to cut and fertilize our lawn ourselves. We have bought tools like mower, trimmer, blower etc. and each Sun all family members take care of lawn. It also is going fine.
After demise of our old we now have Samsung Lumix which in compact enough to slip in pocket yet has wide angle and 10x zoom capability. Below link has photos of the late spring garden.
