Today was such a beautiful day here in my area. The sun was out and the temp went up
to 25 degree, so I spent the day doing a bit
of gardening. Although I live in north
western
part of India we do get very cold
winters and our temps get low enough to
put the
plants to sleep. We also have
not had much rain in this semi-arid area so the grass( in the
front park)
browns, if not watered each week.
Ok, so it may never happen but this is what I want my front yard to look like. I have the
don't have the proper soil.... I
bought some sand from the village nearby having sand
dunes, black soil from
another cotton growing area mixed them both with vermin-compost
I bought from
the lady we helped her in making vermi-
compost ( we conducted a training
under income generating programme of our
project) then I put the mixture in my recycled pots

This is my sad wintery
yard today. Everything is dry and sleeping and it's a bit depressing but like most
gardeners around the country, I am patiently waiting for Spring!

I bought a large number of Caladium bulbs today and
planted them in groups of color all around my front yard.
Look at the colors of
these beautiful Caladiums below.
