Default Category I’m missing my family.. I’m starving to see my garden.. My dear plants.. My Room.. The day has finally come when i’m out of home.. Moved to another city to study.. I’m so sad i wish i could just lift up my university as it is and move it back to my hometown.. this is not fair!! Just when i was getting better and ready to gear up for the winter season. I had to be here.. oh well.. But no way will i throw away this passion of mine.. Just taking a break i can say.. There are new seeds to sow and more pouring in.. They will be sown.. the plants will grow and flowers will bloom.. But a li’l late.. The blog will continue of course.. cuz where there’s people there’s got to be plants 
If i write more i’ll probably choke up.. I promise.. A lot more to come for the winter season.. So just Stay Tuned and Happy Gardening

Borage,
Chamomile,
Dill,
Herbs,
Hibiscus,
Hydrangea,
Oregano,
Plume After lot of anticipation i can report that one of my two Hydrangeas is finally BLOOMING!! I can’t express how excited i am after longing for these plants for 2 years and everyone telling me it will not survive in this weather.. yea yea yea its a joyful day!!
Study matters have kept me busy and away from my dear garden for long but now now before i go off to another city i have to make sure i set my garden to survive the occasional care it will get.. I’m feeling very sad about it.. But lets keep that aside for now..
Herbs are also coming up nicely finally in my Green(Pink) house.. Here’s Borage, Peppermint, Sage, Dill and these should have been Chamomile and Oregano but i have no clue whats coming up..
Plume is coming up again.. Looks like fountains of pink color.. One of my fav flowers..
After a lot of struggle with mealy bugs(which are now far and few), I have a Hibiscus bloom after long.. Felt really nice to win this war.. hehe I’m sure the other ones will take a cue soon too..

Roses,
Runner,
Strawberry,
Tuberose Container re-arranging is almost done and now i don’t know what to do with the ones that are left.. Shall move some downstairs and hide away others till they are planted.. But the point is WHERE!! Every place has a plant.. Its over-flowing..
The Chrysanthemums i had saved for this season have all rotted because i could not take care of them due to my surgery.. Makes me SAD 
:( throwing them out..
I can use some deep pots for Tuberose Bulbs and another for a leftover Caladium bulb.. That will be a gift though..
Today i also noticed a bud on a rose that has never bloomed.. Oh i’m so excited!!
The strawberry has also sent out a runner.. And its so cute!!

Mealy Bug,
Neem,
Window Box 14:50
The first task i tackled this morning was to set-up the window boxes. Already kept in place yesterday, filled them with soil, manure and organic matter.. Then into the 8 window boxes went dianthus, double balsam, hypoestes, coleus and caladium combinations.. for the first(or may be rare) time, i did exactly as i had planned yest night. The other 8 boxes will be lined up on the wall upstairs this evening.. No plans for them yet(as in what to fill in)
The Drawing Room window cills are also crying for planters so this evening i’ll mix and match the already potted up containers for a display there.. Its a jungle out there with soooooo many plants and planters so i think i should give them all their proper places before i begin college.. Must make use of the ample time i have these days..
—————————————————————————–
Here’s what i did to the Drawing Room Window Cills..
And these are the set-up window boxes..
Also started Arranging the conatiners on the terrace.. Will Complete the job by tomorrow. Made layouts and marked empty pots.. Not much seedlings available right now so many of them will have to wait for a month or so..
Mealy Bugs are giving me a hard time on hibiscus so now i’ve sprayed the plants with neem soln today.. Lets see the results.. will have to keep doing that for a couple of alternate days..
