Last year, a neighbour had shared a couple of eggplant saplings with us - six to be exact. Since the season was good, it was somewhere in the monsoon months, all six plants loved and gave us a lot of fruits, in the next couple of months. The trend has continued, and over the period of time, we've increased the count to around a dozen, today, the old ones, still fruiting, the new ones, getting

It's been quite some time since I posted in here. Life changed, over the past few years, and things took control of me and my time, so, even though I still have the same amount of passion I used to have all those years back - for gardening, the time to share updates here, is somehow lacking! But then, I have kept the blog up and running, without any changes whatsoever, to anything that set

Harshringar, also commonly known as Night Blooming Jasmine in English, Siuli in Bangla, Parijaat or Harshringar in Hindi, is one of the many varieties of highly fragrant Jasmine plants around. What so special about this plant is the distinct shape and colours of these highly fragrant flowers from the Jasminum family. The five petaled flowers have a pedicel (the part that connects the petals to

I have had yellow and pink rain lilies for quite some time. I have been in the quest to bring in plants from all over. Wherever and whenever I get chance to get myself plants, or seeds if getting the plant is not that easy, I don't miss a chance to grab the opportunity. This is how I got the yellow rain lily seeds, while on an official visit to a client's place, where I found seedpods, which

It was quite long ago when I last posted here. Things are going great in the garden, but not the same with me. For some reasons, I have been tempted to neglect the blog, which was once a passion for me. It has been months since I last posted here on this blog, although my garden still goes strong and great.

Hey guys, in this part of the weekly updates, here's what happening in my rooftop garden. A de-rooting of my 4 year old grape vine, which had been showing symptoms of stunted growth, because the plant had grown up to have a very dense root system, too much for the plastic container it was planted in. Even after my best efforts at giving it the nutrition it needed, there was not much

This time, here I am with some freshest pictures from one of the plants that has bloomed for the first time. This is the harshringar, also known as parijat or parijaat. Nyctanthes arbor-tristis is a plant that owing to it's beautiful blooms, has attained an almost divine status, especially in Hinduism and Jainism. Parijat, in Hindu mythology and scriptures, is a heavenly tree from the abode

The monsoon season that went by just a while back, had some of the loveliest tuberose blooms I have had in all these years. The very first blooms were amongst the best ones, I have posted here. This was primarily because the plants I was getting these blooms from had become too old and hence, the flower quality reduced sharply, so much so that there were seasons when I could only get just one

In the last post, I shared with you all, some red gladiolus buds that were about to bloom at that time. Those gladiolus blooms have since bloomed and now were extremely beautiful to watch. This was the first time I had such a beautiful gladiolus bloom. I clicked the pictures immediately after I had watered my plants, and thus, the droplets of water over the blooms have stayed there, and have

There's been a lot of activity within the garden over the past few months. Things have been going on with their pace. There aren't too many new additions, however some of the last year's additions have been coming up great this year. I will be sharing these small updates in this weekly updates section every week, starting now, since this is quite a good time for the garden, since extreme summer

It's been quite a long time since I last posted here. Infact, I had almost abandoned my beloved blog for all this time. The blog that I have nurtured all these years. But no more. A lot has happened over this period of four months, and I've been quite busy, and could give quite less time to my garden, but never abandoned my plants. All this time while I couldn't take a look at my plants and my

I'm not really sure if I have already shared this earlier or not. I have got a couple of fruit plants planted in pots in my small gardening space on the rooftop. These include a two mango plants, one pomegranate and the grapevine. Also, the pineapple crown I placed in the soil last year is growing well, though, I am not really sure when I could have the fruit in this, if at all I am going to

From the last post with the lilies still developing, I've had them blooming full scale, for each one blooming for almost two to three days, adding a bright spot of colour to my otherwise dull garden with nothing else blooming at that time. The marigolds are not ready, nor any of the winter seasonals, the roses had been trimmed down and anyway this was not their season at all, so, I had a

Lilies have always been plants that have amazed me a lot. The beautiful varieties, colours and patterns that these beautiful plants come in have always mesmerised me. And so, I have been trying to set my hands on more and more lily plants and different varieties from anywhere I could find them. On my last visit to the plants nursery, I found some beautiful white and big bulbs, which, on

So, here's an update after a really-really long time. It's been quite a long time, since I've posted here. Though, in nature nothing stops, it all goes on and on and on, whether I am able to post it all here or not. It's the same happening here as well, in my garden. The work has now taken a toll on me and I don't really get the time to be able to post here, even through the weekends, let alone

The last post was about the currently blooming tuberoses. With that post, I had promised to come up a blogpost on the gerberas that I had introduced in the garden with earlier this year. This was something I had got by sheer luck when I visited a plants nursery I don't regularly visit. Gerberas are among some of the most sought after flowers when it comes to their commercial use and why not?

And if you have visited this blog previously, and have by any chance read some of my previous posts, particularly, those about the tuberoses, you will know for sure that tuberoses are amongst one of my favourite flowering plants in my garden, even though, they bloom once a year, just for a month, and they lay dormant in
