Just imagine yourself relaxing on a couch,
watching a beautiful clear skies and a
lot of greenery around ;A place to relax, anytime of the day with a cup
of hot coffee is my balcony. I didn't have a very big
balcony. Hence I had only the side spaces of the balcony left for nurturing the
plants. I tried to utilize this space to the maximum. Gardening is my
hobby.
I derive great
pleasure from this hobby... One of my favourite
pastimes is sitting on my balcony and observing the flowers is to appreciate
the colour and the varieties of flowers in nature.
I have a number of
flowers-pots in which I have grown some very-green plants and some flowering
plants.. I
absolutely love surrounding myself with flowers of different shapes, colours
and fragrances.
I feel uplifted by sensing each flower's beauty, vibration and
presence, These flowers connect us with Divine joy! They are such a wonderful source of inspiration. The elegant, graceful jasmine makes the air cool and
aromatic.
a rose that speaks silently in the language of fragrance. ..
Apart from the flowering beauties, I have Brinjals , Beans,lemon
grass, Basil, Fenugreek (methi), Mint, ginger, green chilies and coriander as
well.
Having fresh herbs, vegetables on hand for
cooking is such a treat. The smell of fresh herbs in the kitchen is heaven for
me. I have enjoyed taking the time to watch the life in
the various plants. the joy of watching a seed sprout, slowly grow, then
blossom into a plant that starts giving fruits! It is unmatched!
When the plant bears fruits and flowers, you feel like a
proud parent; No amount of money can give you that satisfaction of having something
that you have grown yourself. And trust me, once you get the first crop, you
will be passionate and addictive, For people who love nature and want to keep a
part of it close to them, house plants are a simple option.
You do not require
much space and it is not very hard to take care of the plants. Without much
hassle, they provide great beauty to the house and give you a new hobby and invite birds also.
Surrounding
yourself with green trees and beautiful garden not only makes you cheerful but
improves your health too .But plants are living and thus they need tender care
and attention.
Now I seeded Tomato, snakeguard & Ladies finger with
help of gardening blogs. There are a lot of good blogging sites that explains
simple gardening methods which will be useful for the beginners like me .Every
day, I spend a few minutes in my spare time to engage with the plant kingdom
which gives a rejuvenating feeling.
My sanctuary is my balcony
garden!
