A new company for my garden work

Kashmir Project - why named so ? Because the seeds actually were brought from Kashmir when we visited there. In one of the park, I met a farmer who was taking care of the garden, and the curious gardener in me asked, if they would grow in our climate and he said, yes, its possible in Winter. So he gave two types of seeds : one for summer and one for winter and its for their weather. He told me to try out both in our winter and if it works, then I can ask someone to collect more. I even told our driver to collect seeds and send to me if I ask. We have got their numbers and even they have already sent dry fruits once.

You have seen her earlier in my garden, but not as a gardener. This time, she reminded me about those seeds and then after I prepared these big containers, I suggested why not you try this time..

And also sprinkle the first water on them, even though it was almost getting dark. The full video here :

For some reason 3speak did not load this same video that was created using Movavi with MP4 encoding, not sure why.

After couple of weeks, some saplings showed up and it was really hard to recognize what they are. So I followed my common sense to replant the unusual ones, that does not look like wild plants that I know.

Not a lot of work, but handling these very small saplings like a baby required me to be extra careful. That feelings of they being brought from Kashmir adds that thrill.

And now some beautiful captures from the garden - finally see who arrived !! They will always find their ( or our) food , and it definitely feels rewarding to see them in my garden .

Every year, this roundup in the center becomes full with flowers, but unfortunately, this year, it looked empty. As I wrote in my previous post, the soil quality was poor, and it's now shining after we added ten blocks of coco-pit along with some organic fertilizers that is prepared from household wastes. Our gardener does the hard part, and we planted yellow Inca and I am personally working on them and monitoring to see how it comes up - its always an experiment. Based on the results, we will make this entire area a flower garden.

Don't the plants look very healthy and growing well with the organic fertilizers ? And do you know, they last longer with organic food.

And then some regular maintenance of my garden - there is always some work and even though I plan a hour or two, most of the times, it takes longer. The Chrysanthemum plants are looking for some extra time to flower up, may be because the Winter is not very strong this year. But we are still glad that we have a pleasing winter, because they predicted there will be no winter. In fact, it was almost going away and then taken a U-turn to come back strong again. You never can predict Nature....

Your garden looks beautiful, even though you say some of it looks empty. I am envious of how much space you have available! It looks wonderful. Gardening is such a wonderful hobby and a way to say thanks to mother nature who blesses us. Thank you for sharing the photographs of your wonderful flowers. I recognise some of the plants in your garden as well.

I am envious of how much space you have available!

Well, this is a common space for the whole society and they evacuated all our plants from roof top bringing here. Since then, I started working here, like a second gardener, without feeling any bad about it ( people care for their ego unlike me). For me, its a hobby that I enjoy, even though I work like a worker in public. This year, the society also wants me to take care of this entire place, seeing my care for plants.

That is wonderful news. We need more people who take care of plants and nature. So often, people will not care and plants die, causing a loss of diversity and life. I am sorry to hear about the roof top loss. But I am glad that you can still practice your hobby! Keep well, my friend. Hard work pays off.

Hard work pays off.

100% 🤛

Oh my, the garden is so lovely. I hope they'll grow well.

wonderful garden, it's your hard work that made this garden beautiful. it's good to see your wife is also working with you.

Wow this is a big project. You garden really look amazing. I love it

Your Kashmir project is excellent, friend, and the most important thing is that I have seeds available for all climates, both cold and hot.

Man I can just remember the feeling of coming out of the airport in Delhi in the winter on my trip there. So awesome to see you with the green thumb and taking advantage of a mild (by comparison) winter.

Everything goes so dormant here that i am notveven thinking about our garden yet. Which seeds to plant and how many months it will be to get back into the soil.

Importing seeds from Kashmir soulds so exotic! Cant wait to see how they turn out snd how well the organic fertilizer works.

Kashmir is like heaven on earth. I wish you all the best as they are such a lovely flowers. Well grown.

Aww
Your garden is enriched with so many beautiful flowers
I love the pictures
I wish I could just see your garden in real life
I’m sure it will be very beautiful

Really nice Garden with beautiful flowers I wish If I could have a as you do . Living in this of environment makes our mind comfortable and fresh.

I have been dealing with this plant during my research. It was so difficult to maintain temperature for these seeds. I grew the specie Tagetes erecta.
Organic fertilizer makes plants to grow faster.

The end result is wonderful, those flowers add the perfect touch to your garden. Congratulations @sanjeevm

This kind of activity should be done by all of us and we should do such things to make our garden beautiful. And from here we get some vegetables and some fruits for free.

The plants look very healthy, and the appearance of bees is wonderful. I really appreciate how you are volunteering to care for this entire area, and I hope your community does too. I look forward to how it will look once all the flowers bloom.

So beautiful. The name is actually good. Sounds catchy.

The garden looks beautiful and I strongly believe much more work will have been invested and put into this garden to keep making it looks like this
