@Khabbab.....would this qualify as milkmaid


Spring time at my place is late March, but still i have been able to achieve reasonable growth pre-spring

Nasturtium are having BALL of a TIME........




Calendula Nana Fruit Twist early Blooms, expecting more shades......

Reduce the water for Nasturtiums and no fertilizer at all, it will cause more foliage than flowers.. i have been growing them every season from last five years, they are so dependable and carefree annuals, my father saves its seeds which weigh more than a kg..

I find removing the leaves quite helpful.

I am doing both....but as i said earlier i did add some cow manure while preparing bed, so can't help it.

The forecasted Rain has arrived, slow yet persistent. This time I am prepared, but still the damage depends on the amount of rainfall. I have used this rain to fertilize (little urea) and weed a little. Moist soil (not wet) is best for weeding. Ensure that you remove weeds from the beds or they might again root due favorable conditions. Rain is expected to last till Tuesday…..

Destroyed........Complete havoc by 120 mm of rain and continuing...All plants lying flat, over feet high water. Broken seedlings & broken heart.
I hate this place and its extremities....
For once i am thinking of running a tractor over my garden..........But maybe i have seen worse, and will have to go over again and again.
