Our lil garden has grown!

Calamintha... hyrangea... calla lily...spiky cactus, our green thumbs has gotten the better of us. Now the porch has an array of natural beauties to greet us.  We had initially thought of transferring our sprouting brinjal plant into another pot, hence we needed more soil. Which brought us to the nursery and instead of coming back with soil we came back with 3 kinds of flowers! Talk about impulsive shopping!

 

The porch is definitely a livelier place with the flowers. It's great to wake up to a burst of colour and teaming life. Might I add, gardening is actually quite therapeutic.

 

 

Don't worry we did not ignore our slow growing brinjal plant. Here's the latest update for those of you who have been asking and wondering - still leafy, new greens popping up occassionally, no signs of fruits yet, stems are quite thin. We're pumping up its growth with fertilizers but being careful not to overdose it! Any tips to make it fruit faster? I'm waiting to make grilled brinjals:)

To end this post, here's a lil insight into a different side of Terence when his green thumbs are busy:

1. He's meticulous even when putting fertiliser, remembering how much each plant needs and when to sprinkle.
   
2. He has greener thumbs than me. That's why I leave the planting to him, I just water and talk to them.
   
3. I'm quite sure he talks to them after I leave for work in the morning... cos they are blooming!
