"The single greatest lesson the garden teaches is that our relationship to the planet need not be zero-sum and that as long as the sun still shines and people still can plan and plant, think and do, we can, if we bother to try, find ways to provide for ourselves without diminishing the world." ~ Michael Pollan

🍓🥬 May 2021 - Garden update!!

This year we started our balcony garden a bit later than usual. We decided to buy seedlings from local farmers instead of growing our own from seed. We didn't really have time to prepare during the winter, so it was easier this way.

Thankfully some of our plants from last year survived the winter outside, so we didn't need to buy new seedlings everywhere.

💪 Plants that survived winter on our balcony (we had snow and minus 10 degrees sometimes, we are in the temperate zone):

Parsley

Arugula

Strawberries

Mint

Lemongrass

Chives

Thyme

👩‍🌾 Seedlings we brought from local farmers:

4 kinds of different tomatoes (9 seedlings in total, we are pretty much hooked on tomatoes)

Yellow Hungarian paprikas

Chinese lantern plant/Jew's cherry

Patty Pan Squash

Red Basil

Celery

🌱 Seeds we planted this year:

Second round arugula

Spinach

Sugar Peas (great snack during summer)

Now everything is small, but I'm already super excited about how the little balcony garden will turn out this year! We still have a lot of empty space though, so I'm pretty sure we are going to plant some more stuff in the future!

. . • Bonsai Stories • Tree Hugging • The Gulmohar • Silver Jubilee • Tree Conversations • Forest Therapy Feel • . . I am a self-taught Bonsai Artist. This is my Dearest 25 year old Gulmohar Bonsai Tree. This tree has been living with us and moving around with us for around 21 years now. Initially, started from the seed by my Mother who is also a self-taught Bonsai creator, and she raised it for the first couple of years before she gave it to me. . . The first post I read today morning was by the @lazygardener.in who asked a question in their post - Do you talk to your plants? To which I responded that I converse with them... . I can literally hear them speak, and tell me things. . . Today despite being a Manic Monday Morning, I felt a great need to hug my oldest child of 25yrs, who has been by us, standing in tenacity, stood by the test of time, moved along with us... in everyway!!! So I requested the Reluctant Photographer (my second older child, seen in blue behind the green in the last pic collage, who is (im)patiently and (dis) gracefully 😂😁 waiting on his mommy's request to click pictures)... . . And it's truly therapeutic to see , touch, hug and feel these lovely living beings, who are so forgiving! . . Do not forget to observe the natural #moss bed that regularly grows during monsoon at the tree base. And a few other plants that just come up around it , including a #holybasil Tulsi. . It's all an amalgamation of a divine experience!!! . . #bonsailove #bonsaï #bonsaigarden #Bonsais #bonsaicollection #bonsaiart #trees #treesofbangalore #gulmohartrees #tree_pictures #foresttherapy #gardentherapy https://www.instagram.com/p/B3mVnyYlN5A/?igshid=mjw375e7jfzl
