Recap

It has been too long since I last posted. 12th August! That's too long. A whole month!! The garden changes everyday. Well ... mine does in any case.. thanks to rats, downpours and occasional storms... sigh!

Sowing Potatoes. Although none of them made it, due to 'drowning' in the monsoons... they did grow to be about 1-2 feet high. I will be trying again this October , when it gets a bit dry.

I have been so busy with work lately.. that I find my self gardening less often. I'm not happy about it. Gardening helps on so many levels!

Bitter Gourd.
There is a weird tradition about Bitter Gourd in my life. I NEVER plant it. I have never, till today.. sowed a bitter gourd seed... yet.. it has managed to grow often around me... in containers meant for cucumbers... and other more pleasant tasting plants. I let it grow, because I love it's flowers. They're one of the prettiest I know.

These days, the rains bring relief and also something else .. Mosquitoes. Yep... I'm around plants for less than a minute and end up with 4-5 bites... that itch and burn like mad.

For the 3rd year in a row, despite changing houses.... a random pumpkin plant.
I have plant ghosts follow me around... :D

It's already time for fall/ winter planting or sowing. But I don't dare plant anything else.

Okay, I did sow this... but it never flowered and it won't stop growing...
Can you guess what this is?

It has rained plenty this month.... which is great for the soil, earth and non container plants... I lost many of my container plants.

More random stuff.... Papaya. I have 3 small trees growing.
It seems all the gardening I have done in this house has been unintentional

That's it for now. I leave in 2 days for Mexico. I cannot wait!! Don't worry. I shall leave post dated posts.... I owe that to myself and this blog. I have enough pictures of the last couple of months.

Adios Amigos~
