my garden 2016

Post by hassanqureshi »

i have been doing gardening from past many years but that only consists of buying paniris of common annuals from the nurseries and growing them.
In doing so i have discovered a passion that i don't know i have . This year i try to imitate a cottage style into our own Pakistani small garden style and i can just hope it turns out to be good. my cats put up a challenge for me but in the end humans do more damage then poor cats . my love for tall perennials develops from seeing farhan bhai garden and many many online fiends help me a lot .

Your foxgloves are growing nicely but are overcrowded you should feed them with liquid NPK for better blooming... kindly relocate your zonal pelargoniums, otherwise they may not grow well due foxgloves..

this is sort of a shade border getting early morning sun . namesia is just planted in the background kiyari under palms but i think it needs care transplanting and mali transplant it very brutally . but thanks Allah i have spare seedling for pots would plant them in dead seedling . but there is another setback i think namesia required full sun :(
p.s i can only transplant 3 pics at a time .

Cottage style gardens are my favorite too. Looking forward to your blooms. Which city are you located in? Did you buy paneeris for your foxgloves or growing them from seeds?

there are double hollies (drawf or tall) i don't know , chanandin himself don't know . and larkspur on the left bed , they are very tiny but are destroyed by plastic sheet that fall on them so placed them in ground , going fine now . the outer bed i didnt take pics is filled with double petunia and nasturtium. i wonder why people don't grow double petunias as much as common one , is it not good ?

bro no space left , i guess the pealrgoniums should be place little more away from foxgloves , the bed can be extended from the front . lets see.
the thing is i feed them with npk and dap . and spray npk 20-20-20 with added nutrients a week later . urea killed all my ranunculus last year so i am so afraid i have not let my mali give it in initial stages to plants .
