Garden Update 2013

[jdashraf]

Aah ... This is so emotional... I am new on this forum ... since I joined this forum I have stopped wasting my time on Facebook,twitter ,YouTube and like, which I used to do before joining this forum.This is purely bcoz of inspiration that I am getting from people like Farhan. I know how it feels when you leave your house after every 2-3 years, being foji myself. It hearts even more once you have lifetime journey, experience, joy, accomplishments, attachments like Farhan had with his beautiful flowering house. I have never seen any one involving himself this much in decorating his house with so much dedication and pride, once he knows that he ll have to leave that house very soon.
More than this, I join with rest of the members here, that your presence here on this forum was (and I hope it will remain always) blessing from Allah for people like me who are new and want to learn. Believe me, this forum is nothing without people like Farhan. I hope and pray, Farhan, the new destination brings you more joy, success, respect ,pride and fragrance for you and your family.One more request, if I may, please dont stop visiting this forum and enlightening us with your guidance, bcoz I believe wherever you go you should have an internet connection there ... if not DSL, at least there should be some cell phone working from which you can connect to internet. Please do so, if you can manage, coz we dont want to loose one of the most beautiful flowers from our garden for very long. God bless bro, May Allah be with you, today and forever, wherever you go.

The End

Farhan bhai, I think the caption is not appropriate..


It should have been....

The Beginning

In my view, this is what it is..

It's the beginning of a long journey which will Inshaallah bring something new for you every time. I can well understand your feelings as I have passed through this many a times myself. It is indeed a very heavy feeling to leave the plants which were raised with so much of love. I was not bestowed with such a wonderful power of expression that you have so I just wept when I left my plants first time. But when it happened again after few years and then again, I learnt a new method of satisfying my passion. I involved myself in community gardening and that way, I would possess a garden wherever I would go. I planted trees, ornamental flowering bushes, roses, bulbs and anything I could get my hands on, wherever I went at places where I did not even live. And I started to visit nature's gardens more and more which taught me lots of new things about this wonderful hobby. Now, with almost three decades down the line, I sometimes stop near a tree in some city of this beautiful country and with lot of pride, tell my grown up children that I planted this tree 20 years back. I am sure you will also find some way to satisfy the plant lover inside you, inshaallah. I wish you all the best.

The affliction is GARDENING it has no cure and is not fatal, it can go dormant but there is no THE END

@All…..thanks for lovely prayers.

@Rafique Sb…..Words are all I have to play with for now

@Tahir Bhai…..Surely there will be next venture, For now project alpha is a pot with Rudbeckia cherry brandy…….old habits die hard.

@Hamad & Jdashraf……will Insha Allah keep in touch as soon as I am over with the transition.

@Farah & Rabia……Yup beginning it is……but may be a prolonged end to this specific thread

@KBW…..Yes sir that is an inspiring act, plan to follow your footsteps if I do not get a cultivable place.

@Aykhan………no place as yet. Not know when. Fauj main ghar kam hain, retaining the same land for few weeks….LOL

@Sir Arif…..indeed not fatal but life prolonging

@Hakraza Sb…..chand per gardening, hmmm interesting notion.

@Sir Munir......will do so in time, currently on attachment to CMH.

I hope I didn’t miss much on forum, other than missing you guys. Farooq Sb, you are being missed.

Epilogue

Re-visit……………….Post Card from the Garden

End is always not “the end”…..sometimes an epilogue follows, an afterthought, aur Ajkal tu sequels bhi kafi in hain…….hahahaha
I am trying to remain sober, but it appears that addiction is incessant. Away from garden it appears a day has more than 24 Hours, back there lot seem to be in bloom still. Photo courtesy….betterhalf. Appears she is finally getting into gardening…and photography as well, Step is being well treated it appears......

Nature has mysterious ways, what did not bloom then.....has started to bloom now, and what a joy it is in absentia. Some post cards for myself and with dedication to other members!
