snippets from our little garden... |
When we
moved into our new house, the first things that met my eyes were the trees and
plants around our house that were in a ‘withered, withering, about to wither’
condition. The coconut trees were almost dying as they were not properly cared
for. In short, the whole garden was kinda chaotic.
So, with
the help of two good gardeners, we had the coconut trees pruned, and had the
flower-bearing ones cut to size. The crotons, the lily plants and the rose
plants were given a ‘facelift’ and then, with a long garden hose to assist us,
we began the regular routine of watering them. Soon, the plants began
responding with gusto to the water-treatment. Moreover, watering the plants had
by now become a profoundly therapeutic exercise, and the results were there for
us to see.
