Return to Brahmanpalli →. The rain lily doing its job and other developments in the garden. Some Golden yellow chrysanthemums are a wonder to behold in the sun. I’m having to hold myself back from writing cliches about their colour and the sun. In the balcony upstairs, the chili plant is flowering, and so is a self-seeding tomato.

Terrace garden bliss in Hyderabad | oxygenforthesoul

https://oxygenforthesoul.wordpress.com/2014/03/08/terrace-garden-bliss-in-hyderabad

Losing my religion →. Terrace garden bliss in Hyderabad. I managed as well as I could with the balcony, even growing a passion fruit vine and a rose, apart from other unusual plants from a local nursery. But there were other problems with the flat, including bad plumbing and noise — cacophony actually — every night from a house and a building opposite. This entry was posted in Uncategorized.

oxygen for the soul: July 2010

http://oxygenforthesoul.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html

Oxygen for the soul. My attempts at gardening in Bangalore. The foxes' wedding and the monkeys' dance. It was one of those times when it's raining and the sun is shining at the same time. As kids, we were told that this is known as the foxes' wedding and the monkeys' dance. The light cast on my philodendrons and firebush was so beautiful, I had to try and capture it. I got a good approximation with the philodendrons. But I'm not sure I got close enough to the real thing with the firebush. The chili plant...

oxygen for the soul: February 2011

http://oxygenforthesoul.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html

Oxygen for the soul. My attempts at gardening in Bangalore. The gods must be laughing. And I will continue to nurture the plant until it does as well as the siblings it was torn away from. Yes, as well as those previously languishing siblings! The sun has returned to the balcony of the Lavelle Road flat and after a single feeding with NPK, the two plants there have started bearing in plenty. I'm going to leave them there since they are doing so much better than their separated sister. Today I brought jus...

oxygen for the soul: October 2010

http://oxygenforthesoul.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html

Oxygen for the soul. My attempts at gardening in Bangalore. I harvested the last of the tomatoes today. I will now have to start a new lot; the old ones are shaggy and mealy bug-ridden. The only other plant giving us a regular harvest is the curryleaf, which we use everyday for cooking. Meanwhile, the heliconia golden torch blooms have matured and developed what looks like seed formations. Are these seeds or something else? If anyone knows this plant's name, please let me know. My husband took this shot ...

Blooming summer | oxygenforthesoul

https://oxygenforthesoul.wordpress.com/2013/04/20/summer-blooms

Sprouting celery – Second try. The rain lily doing its job and other developments in the garden →. I changed the title of this post from ‘Flowering summer’ to ‘Blooming summer’ to reflect the nuisance of the extraordinary heat in Bangalore this summer, which makes it difficult to garden during the day, and the joy of the flowering the sun encourages. We get abundant flowering only at this time of the year, and it’s truly oxygen for the soul. The bleeding heart vine is blooming its heart out.

oxygen for the soul: The lone tomato

http://oxygenforthesoul.blogspot.com/2011/02/lone-tomato.html

Oxygen for the soul. My attempts at gardening in Bangalore. Today I brought just one tomato plant from the old apartment to the new one. It has only one tomato, since it was getting barely any sun in its old spot. In the new one, it will get 6-7 hours of strong sunlight. I can't wait to see how the plant responds, especially after I feed it. February 14, 2011 at 2:32 PM. Interesting how you have covered up the grill. Will definitely discourage the rats from trying to get in. Subscribe in a reader.

oxygen for the soul: August 2010

http://oxygenforthesoul.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html

Oxygen for the soul. My attempts at gardening in Bangalore. Rejoiced' too soon . . . The cucumber is dying. Not surprising since the vine is more or less dead already. A consolation is that the tomatoes are putting up a fight against the lack of sun and constant rain. Here's a marmande. There are very few on the vine but enough to cheer me up. Fingers crossed for the passion fruit. Will look up timings for planting on the Net. Voila . . . My calladiums seem to be dying out so I'm off to the nursery to ge...

oxygen for the soul: The tardy and the hardy

http://oxygenforthesoul.blogspot.com/2011/02/tardy-and-hardy.html

Oxygen for the soul. My attempts at gardening in Bangalore. The tardy and the hardy. I can't believe it's been three months since I've updated my blog. A lot has been happening and I've also been waiting for something to happen - the weather to improve. Here is a picture of the front balcony, which is a good size but is shaded by a large jamun tree. I will have to grow partial shade plants here but don't grudge this since the tree is a beautiful sight. Spider plant, geranium and syngonium; the last is a ...
