Naah!!
Just kidding π
You really think I can be kept away from being Word-y?
Anyhow, after the long rant in yesterday’s post (which I confess was about to go into more deeper anguish but I managed to reign in the impulse and end it quick) I think I’ll do a feel-good post. Okay, so maybe not that feel-good for you, but definitely for me π
You see, since the GMIL is in the hospital (still!!), the onus of looking after her beloved plants fell on me.
Me!! The serial plant-killer! The one whose very touch caused leaves to shrivel and buds to die before they bloomed π¦ I have poison in my finger tipsΒ I confess, there has to be a reason why plants never survive me. Even this time, once GMIL left for the hospital, ALL the plants died within the first week. Obviously, I could NEVER remember to water them in time. Moreover, the awful heat made sure that we kept the doors to the terraces closed, to avoid hot winds blasting into the house!
Anyhow, after much hand-flailing and cursing self for not watering the mites in this heat, I got back to Operation Recover.
I watered the plants, added the manure. Placed the pots in strategic locations so that they got just the right amount of sunlight. I prayed , I sang. I did everything but pull at the shoots to sprout a leaf. Gradually though, nature favoured my efforts and the plants started springing back to life.
I’m glad to see that before the GMIL comes home this weekend, her little garden is alive and thriving, pretty green leaves sprouting from every stem. I haven’t *errrr..* failed in looking after them π
So folks, whatdya think??
This is the first time I saw purple flowers on Tulsi!!
There are many more plants, but I never got around to clicking all of them. I’m just glad they are all alive, which, given my reputation with plants, is a HUGE achievement π
GMIL will be back this weekend and I’m sure this time around I won’t get the grunt of disapproval I got last time π
Fingers crossed!!
And yeah, I’ll be at the mini-garden every spare second until she is well enough to look after them herself. After that, I’ll just wash my hands off these greenies. Literally π
Same pinch here…plants I touch usually wither π¦ so Congrats on the super cool plants..ajwain and kadi patta awesome babes π
Thankoo thankoo.
The trick is, I let the kids do the actual watering. They love playing with water in this heat, I don’t have to touch the plants (only the pots) and we are good to go π
I swear, I have wicked fingers…..even flowers wither if I touch their petals π₯
Awww u r guudddd!!!!!!!!!! GMIL will be so proud of u π
