Heavenly...I have visited so many botanical gardens but none of them look as beautiful as your garden...

How old is this garden?

Dear Farhan
It's great. I like all your vegetables as well as flowering plants pictures. Now-a-days I also grow Cherry tomatoes, Broccoli, Mint, Lettuce and strawberry at my home.
Best Regards
Asim

@ Ahmed Irfan....thankyou, regarding pinching, i have stopped it because my days are numbered and i want to see quick blooms. In my experience both these plants benefit from deadheading as well.

@Asim....looking forward to see your veggies.

@ Farooq Sb....These are valuable words. Thankyou. The age of this backyard is about an year, however initially i concentrated more on the front yard.

7 feet and going strong. This border had poorest soil in my garden, rather all construction stones. All praise for Allah Almighty!

Wonderful gardening. It appears you give lot of time to your garden which is very good and which must be done. I wonder what will happen to my newly born plants when I am out fishing and hunting :roll:
