A new company for my garden work

Kashmir Project - why named so ? Because the seeds actually were brought from Kashmir when we visited there. In one of the park, I met a farmer who was taking care of the garden, and the curious gardener in me asked, if they would grow in our climate and he said, yes, its possible in Winter. So he gave two types of seeds : one for summer and one for winter and its for their weather. He told me to try out both in our winter and if it works, then I can ask someone to collect more. I even told our driver to collect seeds and send to me if I ask. We have got their numbers and even they have already sent dry fruits once.

You have seen her earlier in my garden, but not as a gardener. This time, she reminded me about those seeds and then after I prepared these big containers, I suggested why not you try this time..

And also sprinkle the first water on them, even though it was almost getting dark. The full video here :

For some reason 3speak did not load this same video that was created using Movavi with MP4 encoding, not sure why.

After couple of weeks, some saplings showed up and it was really hard to recognize what they are. So I followed my common sense to replant the unusual ones, that does not look like wild plants that I know.

Not a lot of work, but handling these very small saplings like a baby required me to be extra careful. That feelings of they being brought from Kashmir adds that thrill.

And now some beautiful captures from the garden - finally see who arrived !! They will always find their ( or our) food , and it definitely feels rewarding to see them in my garden .

Every year, this roundup in the center becomes full with flowers, but unfortunately, this year, it looked empty. As I wrote in my previous post, the soil quality was poor, and it's now shining after we added ten blocks of coco-pit along with some organic fertilizers that is prepared from household wastes. Our gardener does the hard part, and we planted yellow Inca and I am personally working on them and monitoring to see how it comes up - its always an experiment. Based on the results, we will make this entire area a flower garden.

Don't the plants look very healthy and growing well with the organic fertilizers ? And do you know, they last longer with organic food.

And then some regular maintenance of my garden - there is always some work and even though I plan a hour or two, most of the times, it takes longer. The Chrysanthemum plants are looking for some extra time to flower up, may be because the Winter is not very strong this year. But we are still glad that we have a pleasing winter, because they predicted there will be no winter. In fact, it was almost going away and then taken a U-turn to come back strong again. You never can predict Nature....
