Our Garden (Summer 2010)

Welcome to Our Garden!

Months of efforts & tons of cash paid off.  All of us, that is my whole family including little Sarah, worked hard and reward is blossoming now. Don’t believe me? Just have look:

I start with this one, you know what it is and there are a lot of these. Sadly there is no smell in it. Most rose plants grown in UK are smell-free, nevertheless Rose is a Rose….

Sun Flower just grows & grows. It has same qualities as our politicians. Like, it always faces the rising sun, Kids love it when they see it turning to sun though! If not checked (controlled), it grows and grows eventually taking over other plants. So I had trim it a bit:

 I don’t know the name of this one but a flower is a flower…..

This is another interesting plant. We grew it in a big wooden pot. It flourished with unlimited number of flowers, though they face downward.

This is my favourite plant, it is called Bleeding Heart. Photo explains it all, its flowers appear as a heart is broken and it is dripping! A true wonder by the greatest artist called God..

Now we come to my Fruit & Vegetables patch. There are a lot of these packed in a small patch namely potatoes, tomatoes, lattice, carrots, coriander & mint. We have already started using mint, corriander and lettice, & waiting for others to ripe.

We are also enjoying fresh home grown juicy strawberries.

That bleeding heart plant looks fascinating. And the strawberry looks delicious. Your BBQ picnic is reminding me of the wonderful experience that we had back in islamabad when you had invited us to a BBQ party at your home.

Wonderfull! You are living a very green and healthy life there. Using your own wood for BBQ is great. I really like the idea of growing one’s own vegetable, we can do this quite efficiently in Pakistan as well. You never share your great gardening experience with us, lol, probably because we don’t have a garden in kista, lol.

If we had to derive an extract from your script, I would say hard work pays off.

Its glad to see that with a little effort one can literally be self sufficient in food, somehow though..
