Birth day gardening resolution
Today on my birth day I have decided to make Gardening more pleasure able with least worries/headache.
My garden is for my pleasure and not a Botanical garden nor a show case for others.
I am NOT a collector. I will keep and grow ONLY plants that I love, plant that look happy in Lahore climate.
No more addition of I also have it plants. The current ones can stay if they survive without special care.
A plant must earn and justify its space in my garden.
BE VERY SELECTIVE AND PRODUCE BEST RESULTS

Re: Birth day gardening resolution
A very unique wish. I wonder if there comes a time when one stops wishing to live furthermore. I think maybe it does, and it happens with age, when one has little strength or awe of the world for he has spent long. But understandably youngsters can't fathom this concept for the entire world is in-front of them to explore and they have power in their muscles keeping them restless.Rohail Asad wrote:May u live as long as u wish .Happy birthday sir
Same wish applies to gardening as well....when you are young you wish for more and more and when you are old, ragged and experienced you are contended with what you have had.
@Sir Arif. It appears as if you are troubled by "i have it" or botanical gardeners. Don't be....i would narrate a simple story
The Burden
Two monks were returning to the monastery in the evening. It had rained and there were puddles of water on the road sides. At one place a beautiful young woman was standing unable to walk across because of a puddle of water. The elder of the two monks went up to a her lifted her and left her on the other side of the road, and continued his way to the monastery.
In the evening the younger monk came to the elder monk and said, "Sir, as monks, we cannot touch a woman ?"
The elder monk answered "yes, brother".
Then the younger monk asks again, "but then Sir, how is that you lifted that woman on the roadside ?"
The elder monk smiled at him and told him " I left her on the other side of the road, but you are still carrying her."
Sir i think constant reminders from you are indicative that you are still carrying the Botanical gardener approach on your shoulders , DROP IT IF YOU MUST AND IF YOU HAVE DECIDED.
Regards

Re: Birth day gardening resolution
Sir,
I wish you good health and happiness.
Time really flies as one starts to ponder over the years that have gone by. I have touched 40 the old age of youth yet university or college days around 2 decades ago still at times seem like yesteryears. Nostalgia tends to set in.
Finally at the end, "It matters not how long we live but how."
I am now more selective and acquire plants that relatively require less fuss and care based on "survival of the fittest" theme.
