Garden update!

You can't slow this down or make it faster - the plants in our containers are growing up. The Ladies' Fingers seems to be in a hurry compared to tomatoes and carrots! Everyone has their own pace right ? So you can't really compare a ladies finger and tomato!

The ladies fingers are becoming visible from far and growing at a good pace. The tomatoes took time to settle down and I guess we were a bit too eager to let them out in the sunny weather in the containers. They wilted a bit before the new real leaves started to sprout, but still a bit wobbly.

Carrots looks very healthy, but they are going flat out on the ground. We weren't sure it was carrot or bell pepper(capsicum), it didn't look like a pepper variety. It looks like our bell peppers just didn't germinate at all. There are also some green peppers, which are also just about surviving it appears, but looks far better than the tomatoes.

So it is interesting times and everyone at home is involved including our 1.5yr old daughter, Nishka. She is interested in watering plants, but doesn't know when to stop. So we have given her our sprayer, which doesn't hurt even if she uses it a bit more. She did pluck one leaf of a ladies' finger plant, but now she fools around faking it.

We also found a garden store nearby, in fact the branch of Varsha Garden stores, on the Kothanur Dinne main road, which runs along Bannerghatta Road. So no worries about lack of supplies though we are waiting for the Lalbagh Flower show to get over before we pick up more pots and soil.

[ I haven't found a an aim and shoot camera yet to get some pics, we are indeed missing the growing time of the plants!]
