Double layer hibiscus produces three to four flowers per day. It needs care, water daily, dont over water them. For hibiscus Pesticide, turmeric words 20 percent, and liquid handwash soap water works 80 percent. So, no need to buy shop pesticide, tuermic or liquid handwash diluted in water  spraying over infected areas, would controls pest, and it gives some glossy to leaves



Green Peas Harvest - Chennai

Green Peas:

I tried for four months in growing peas, and failed several times. I put the green peas pods it didnt started germination. So, I soaked them overnight, and put the soaked peas in muslin cloth to germinate. Another way just put the soaked peas in the pot soil and cover them lightly.

Finally I harvested green Peas. Potting soil should be good and its quite easy to germinate, and grow green Peas. It takes around 50 to 60 days. 

Seeds are not bought from store, and I sowed some of green peas while picking them. Three pea pods gives nearly 6 green peas.
