Our Flowering Garden all around the year

My Drawing of a Garden all around the year

Today I would like to share with you how we transformed our small balcony space into a beautiful home garden. This post is a very personal post and quite close to my heart. 

So it starts back in April 2019, when I, Sayani, first moved into this apartment after marriage.

My husband planted this Mogra plant fo me, (we also call it Beli in bengali) (Arabian Jasmine) since its one of my favorite plants and it symbolises love. It only has one flower when I first met it.
We always wanted a beautiful garden, so this was our initial additions to the garden, Hibiscus plants. We love hibiscus because we can use it to offer our Gods/idols in the puja mandir.
The next addition to the garden was basil, which we love to use in our kitchen to make beautiful pasta recipes. Yes basil grows like anything, you only need to feed them water day and night.

Once we felt that we can be plant parents, we went to the nursery and got some more decorative, less maintenance plants, like, Areca Palm, Snake Plant, Chinese evergreens, Garden Crotons, spider plant  and alamanda.

The snake plants were specially for the bedroom as they generate enormous amount of oxygen.
So here are our initial blooms from the beautiful garden which was just 2 months old.

We also put some of the propagated plants in our room for decorations.

And the balcony started coming to shape gradually. It felt so good to see it grow.



So this is how it looks now.

We mostly tried to use recycled things to grow our balcony garden. But here are a few things that are amazing products that helped our garden to grow. Links are below'

Review on new Pillsbury Cheesecake

Rating: 4/5 Serves: 2-3 persons Preparation time: 5 mins Effort Level : veryyyy easy Total time: 90 mins A week ago while grocery shopping at Spencer's I came across this instant cheesecake mix by Pillsbury and immediately my heart wanted it. And who doesn't want to make a no bake easy to make cheesecake at home and that too at a cost of just 135 bucks? Today I got time to make it at last. It comes with all the materials in it. 1. Biscuit crumbs 2. Cheesecake mix 3. Topping Strawberry Biscuit crumbs mixed with butter as per instruction to make the base. cake mix is added with 3/4 th cup milk.. I would suggest to add a bit extra milk because the batter becomes very condensed as I found out. Batter should be moulded in a small container with flat base, preferably a 5" dia container. I used a tiffin box as I didn't have any. Product after frozen for more than an hour in the freezer. Final product after adding topping My Review: It was reall...

Unexplored beaches in Vizag | Natural Stone Arch Bridge | A day out with Nomad Vloggers

 Recently due to the pandemic our life had become quite sedentary. We were continuously doing work from home for about 6 months now and life is pretty boring without family and relatives. We as a couple are working in Visakhapatnam, which is a very beautiful city on the Eastern Ghats of South India. We are living here for fore than 4 years now and most of the scenic places were covered b us.  Hence as the unlock 4 came in action, we decided that we should explore something new and place having very less human footfall. After searching for hours on the map, finally we got our heart to visit this place. We thought it will be completely inhabited, but many fellow people like us were also there. Nerveless, we enjoyed our time after 6 months, soaked in some salt water, breathe the freshest air and felt happy. We hope to continue this from now onwards.
