About

Gardening has become a form of retreat,a demanding hobby,unforgiving but amply rewarding since two years.
I have made mistakes, but learnt a lot. Thank God for keeping me alive and excited .

You will hear a lot from me in the coming months (maybe a year) 🙂 since I am planning on having a terrace and backyard vegetable garden once we finish the construction of our new home.

    Thank you so much for stopping by my blog, or else how would I have found you… Do let me know how your wine turned out.

    My husband and I started terrace Gardening since we got married two years back… but since we travel a lot we have lost a lot of plants due to lack of maintenance and also because we made some huge disastrous mistakes(using a chemical fertilizer etc).

    I can learn a lot from your blog… I’ll be a regular visitor.

    • gardenerat60 says:

      Thank you Anisha. Yes, terrace garden needs a lot of love and care and time. It is like having children.:-).

      I am still learning how to grow plants, all from internet friends. It is a pleasure to discuss our passion with like minded people.
      You are welcome to discuss issues here. Come let us all learn together and make the house green.

      Welome here Diptee, and thanks for the sweet comment.

      I am sure ,even one plant if we have in the balcony , it gives so much peace in the mornings. May be a time will come, you might be tending to plants and enjoy them. It took me 60 years:-)

    I am designing a courtyard garden (2nd floor upwards) and need to know which trees / plants can be grown there. What should be the soil layer height? Its for a mansion in Hyderabad, India in case you need to know the climatic conditions.

      I am looking at lots of seeds on the plant. But the intermittent rains have soaked them. I actually bought the seeds from the seed shop in Hyderguda. In case I can collect seeds later, I will def. write to you.
