The fate of my garden is undecided again - May be Time to say goodbye...
It has been long since I did my last update on my garden. All the hard work did paid off well and the garden was really attractive this winter. You can feel it from the above picture ?
Even the cat did enjoy the view from the top 😀
The Kashmir Project did go well, with the uncertainty of what flower it would bring, but I did care them to see the result.
And they did not disappoint.
A red beauty.
So many plants in a single pot, but they grew well and finally added to the beauty. It's a unique plant that drinks lot of water - watering twice a day is a must.
The yellow inca did exceed our expectation, kudos to the organic food applied every week.
In preparation of summer, I started planting all seasoned inca, the results did inspire me to continue making it beautiful in the summer even. I also tried to look at some other alternatives and visited a nearby big hospital which has a nursery of its own. They said, they plant a different variety of all seasoned inca - Ashoka inca, which is pretty costly. A packet of 100 seeds costs more than 1000 rupees - that's a lot, but I have asked them to provide me some plants. And look at their garden.
Every time I go there, it does not feel like coming back. I wanted to make my garden similar but in a small scale. So a lot of preparation was going on and unfortunately, the road in front of our society is getting expanded and now they want to acquire the entire frontage for that road. It's all because of upcoming election, they want to make it beautiful and show their work instead of focusing on real issues. Today they came and marked the entire area, and our society members are going to meet their high level executives. They need a little for the road, but they want to acquire the entire area and don't care of so many families residing. Interestingly the area where the road is coming up, was full of slums, and they moved them to 1 BHK apartments in posh area - all free for the vote politics. If they really acquire the entire area, then there is also a possibility of another slum. Surprisingly they are facilitated by the local leaders by taking money from people and promising them a free house - all in taxpayer's money. Even they take a share while giving them that house. It's double benefit for them - they earn money and they also earn the votes. There is nothing in this country for middle class - pay tax and struggle everywhere. May be I will take some pictures and save it and share how the road project is going to finish. Until then waiting and hoping for the best - even today I cared the plants by giving them their organic food - their blessings may change their destiny. When everything ends, hope still remains....
