yay to the Garden project!
I actually grew flowers in my new home garden !! Could I imagine i could vaguely be interested in doing this an year ago NO. Could I imagine that I would plant and the flowers would sprout and grow about 6 months ago NO. not in a lifetime .there is something hopeless between me and the pots and plants. I dont like pets or pots and its the same from the other side. First attempts at growing a coriander in the kitchen are best forgotten. But this time guess what , the coriander seeds sprouted and green things came out of the potting mix (in the previous world self would have called this mud MUD- oh the horror no wonder plants in pots never liked me). Its quite amazing how much the herb grew in a day . ya I tracked it every 3 hourly and i swear i saw progress !! .
then the dream flower Gerbera. When there is a dull n depressed out of life minute in a day all i need to do is go n stand and stare at teh bright red smiley face flowers and its magical how calmed i become and how everything makes sense. How my anger dies out . I Love gerberas.
Next the super hero mint . It just grew sooo fast n soo much. This week we have had mint chutney , mint water, mint pesto pasta, mint pulav and mint leaves on everything possible. I even made a strawberry shrikand and put mint leaves on top. Just to feel chefy :D n the kick it gives to use self-grown herbs :)
Next summer its project tomato and beans :)
Now if only life was fair and gave one the time to savor such simple pleasures!!
