After a long summer
season followed by the hot and humid monsoon, which this year was pretty good
given the timely and ample rainfall we had here in this part of the country,
though, the monsoon season was still not upto the mark with almost all of the month
of September being dry while almost half of it has downpours of the monsoon
season. Anyways, I am now gearing up my garden for the winter season with
introducing some winter plants and sowing seeds of the winter blooming plants.
I must have told you about the gerbera saplings that I have got.
After
sitting idle for almost two months, the saplings of gerbera have started
showing some signs of growth. As of the current form, they look more like
spinach plants than being that of gerbera with only differentiation that
spinach leaves are much smoother than these gerbera leaves.

For the time being, all the gerbera saplings that I
had brought have managed to survive and with the new growth in these, I am
pretty hopeful of having some beautiful gerbera blooms in the coming months.
As for the other things, I have made the
chrysanthemums too pretty comfortable in their individual pots as a run up to
their blooming season. As of now, I am able to see numerous buds in almost all
the chrysanthemum plants in all the pots. I will keep my fingers crossed for the
colour riot in my garden early in the month of December, when all the
chrysanthemums will be blooming in all their glory. Apart from that, I had
gathered some Marguerite Daisy buds from a park earlier this year. I have sowed
the seeds and I can see some very tiny seedlings germinating in the pots where
I sowed these. I will give you an update about these in the coming days. Till
then HAPPY GARDENING!
