Excellent effort and amazing atrtistic touches !

I felt your garden has less light resource , this can be resolved by planting shade loving plants, that is why grass is not successful. your garden is ideal for indoor plants, you could plant cenenarias , Nastersiums, peace lilly, Clivia all are flowering and shade loving .

yea half the garden doesnt get that much light.. the side that does i plant what ever i fancy :) thanks i will look for these plants .. i keep asking the nursery men but they have no ideas about what i should plant in shade . the main thing is i want to avoid annuals though they are pretty i want plants that live long and bloom often !

Yes Antigonon it is, a tuberous rooted vine from mexico. Leaves are more pretty than flowers IMO.

.. last year there was only one bunch which kinda got spoilt before i had the chance to eat it .. i did take it off but it was sour as well .. this year is a good year for my grapes i have about 7-8 bunches all looking good till now ! i can hope i get a chance to eat some !
the custard apple tree has some fruits coming up .. im excited they taste amazing .. and i would go far enough to say better than any store bought ones !!
the adenium that i had pruned has flowered :) and looks like a happy little fellow !
