And I also have a balcony garden... LOL 14Feb2021

My green thumb seems to be improving. I have planted some herbs in my balcony sill. It is a common practice in the place I stay to have grills on the balcony. it is a security cum storage place used by people. it is also a place where we keep our potted plants. And I have kept some of them. Namely, Tulsi, Aloe vera.... I have had Aloe Vera for some time now. But all the Tulsi saplings that I bought from the local nursery just did not survive. Well, I did not look after it right. And then I brought some from my farmland. And planted them the right way. They did give some jitters the first few days. But today they are happy and healthy.. atleast they look the part. And hence the green thumb line. I have recently added Celery to the mix.

Blissful progress of my Orchard and it's 24th Jan 2021

 So the plants are watered and are growing well. I am planning to have a forest of sorts.. and an orchard of sorts. where I get to enjoy some or the other fruit every time I visit. So it is a variety of fruits and trees. There are mangoes (and different varieties), coconut trees (different varieties), banana, guava, cashews.. and the list goes on. There are Sitafal, Ramphal, Laxmanphal. I think I have Hanumanphal as well.  The borders are protected with wire mesh and Ashoka trees (currently a bit shy in growing). Medicinal plants like lemongrass, tulsi, aloe vera all seem to be growing well. There is a river (Kalu Nadi) flowing at one end of the farm and I have kept a small gate to step directly to the riverbanks steps. (more pics maybe later on that). So here I am adding the latest pics from the farm. Let me know what you think about it.. Also what else should I do there?
