At times, I feel pity on my plants and my gardening hobby, should I continue or give up forever ? Every time I make a place beautiful, some people get jealous over it and then all kind of politics happens. This place was lying abandoned for quite few years and when I took charge and developed this to a beautiful garden, it did not go well with some residents in our society. You must have seen that in some of my earlier posts. Even though society did not contribute anything and I built up everything spending a lot from my pocket (keep aside my efforts), their demand is to beautify the other side park, and not this one, so that they can enjoy the view from their balcony. And they don't know (or even want to know) what it takes to build a garden - such selfish people exist at every place. So all kind of lobby finally brought in the decision to make this a play area and the society politely requested me to shift my garden to other side, and take charge of that area fully and develop it. Are you joking ? Who builds a garden in harsh summer ?
I could easily understand their intention - they have already seen the results of my effort, so they want to leverage that - it comes free just because I love doing it, so they don't have any better person to take care. And I don't have other choice as well - so kind of locked in situation for me. But I did not want to do anything in the summer - next three to four months are going to be very tough for us with temperature soaring to more than 45 degrees. So I decided to move the garden to another abandoned place in the corner - at least temporarily. We will see how it goes after summer but giving up is not in my gene.
A driver of another resident loves my activities, so he stepped forward to help in to clean the area. I always keep saying, You don't have to ask anyone to do good work - it will be automatically noticed.
And we were not disappointed by the soil - a nice ground potato surfaced in - organic and chemical free which we shared.
Even though he has limited availability, he also helped in moving the pots to the new place.
So now the plants are living in an abandoned scary place (because we often see snakes there) but it's probably good for them - instead of getting frustrated, I am trying to take it positively. I just need to be careful to go there - snakes won't harm, unless you harm them. They are just another species, living with us in the nature, where would they go !!!
You can see how I have replanted those all seasoned inca saplings in these pots - not even sure if they will grow in summer or not, but no harm in trying. May be this new place would be better for them !! I will replant them again after cleaning up the old plants - this activity was not even in my thoughts. And I gave rest of the saplings for free to the person who brings cow manure for me - he was so happy - these are the moments when we feel the joy of giving.
There are few inca plants whom I needed to take care before coming to my native - all sort of experiment which never ends.
The curry leaves plant kept at the extreme end but people still go after it - in this world everyone wants to take away things to their home without realizing what it takes to grow it.
I keep fighting with them but I also know the fact that, I can't completely restrict them - the CCTV won't capture this place now. So accept and plant few more baby plants in new pots - acceptance is the key to happiness. They almost killed it by taking all its leaves and I have survived it again.
And I am trying to create some Chrysanthemums mother plants for next season, to grow saplings from them, which will start in August. So next four months will be gone in developing them about which I will share updates.
Life at times brings uncertainties but accepting them and doing our best is perhaps the only way to keep going. Since the boy's board exam was over and there is gap before his next exam, I came in to spend some time with my parents - our karma will decide our destiny.
