February is the time to relax and enjoy the final episode of nature's gift in a year as our summer starts from late February. Even though it's spring, we barely feel the coolness except in the morning. This is the time I plan to preserve some mother plants for the next season and it was a pleasant surprise to see her coming with a cool fruit juice to boost my energy level, after working for couple of hours. She is always ahead of me in these matters - very caring and compassionate, often giving me surprise.
This purple Chrysanthemum plant is added to my garden for the first time because both me and my daughter love the purple color. So I wanted to preserve one plant for next season, so that I can build some saplings in August.
The plants will be left to grow in next six months, without any flower and late august, they will be used - it not only saves me a lot, but I have seen my saplings are much better and well grown than the ones in Nursery.
She always wished, we have our own home with some open space like this where we could grow as we wish, but hey, be happy with what we can. In this big society of hundred families, we are the only family, engaged in gardening - isn't that a big achievement and satisfaction !! May be some day we will have a bigger space and do as we wish, but it's always better to live in the present and utilize what we have, to the best of our abilities. All these experience and learning will come handy, for sure.
