My Balcony gardening - 2015

My Balcony Gardening

Magazines, and movies inspired me to set up this balcony gardening. As I am completely novice, I started somehow . 

Green Pot : Thulasi 

White pot : Aloe Vera

Peach Pot - Samandhi flower 

Pink Pot : Sown sprouted peas

Blue pot : Hibiscus ( Peach colour)

In another terracotta pot, its is perwinkle (vinca) plant.

New visitors - sparrows

It has been years seeing them. One fine morning, I have seen five sparrows swinging in cloth ropes. Just clicked a long shot from window.

In this pic, you can see how long it is I have clicked

I bought two terracotta pots. Combined krishna tulsi and karunthulasi ( black thulasi) together in 

pot. Another pot I filled Marigold, and sowed some fenugreek seeds. Fenugreek seeds started germinating within two to three days. After 10 days, I used baby fenugreek leaves with

Dhal. It tastes good. 

I had sown the sprouted peas in another pot. You can see the pot with three broomsticks. I just made 

broomstick climbers, and I don't how strong the peas vine would be. This is the first time trying my 

hands on peas.

In next pot, I have sown tomatoes and green chillies. It's quite easy to grow these two plants, but 

requires space when it is getting bigger. 

For seed germination, I used  small plastic tub, and haven't used container or paper cups. This is 

the major mistake I did . After googling, I got many ideas of how they are germinating. 

I combined two different plants in one pot, and decided not to repeat the same thing again.
