My chilli plants were not doing so well

So i figuered out (with help ofcourse) that they needed calcium.

And again with help from a nice lady i got the idea to use egg shells for their calcium deficiency.

I was collecting egg shells for a week or so. Today i powdered them and put in the soil.

Waiting for results with crossed fingers

bryophyllum calycinum


"Bryophyllum Calycinum"

Its a plant

here is how it looks

The thing that fascinated me about this plant is quite interesting.

If u put a leaf on soil ( i actually mean just the leaf), a new plant grows on each of its cut.

Here are its pics from today

You can see tiny plants growing on the cuts.

Amazing, isnt it??



An Experiment




Couple of weeks ago, i saw some pictures of beautiful potato vines, surprisingly grown in water.

I thought to gave this idea a go.

These are photos from 15th April 2017.
First day of experiment


Here is it how it looks today, May 5th 2017


Lots of roots and a few leaves.
Going good so far :)

Hobby, as defined by wikipedia is a regular activity that is done for enjoyment during leisure time.

It can be anything that takes your mind off of chaotic life for a while.

For me, it changes from time to time. Cant stick to one thing for a long time.

Surfing "Netflix" and watching "House" is a current hobby :) besides gardening and doing embroidery on and off


Container Gardening



Recently developed interest in "plants" :)
Its the only thing on my mind these days
A few pics from my balcony garden

Petunias and Pansies in recycled soda bottles


Tomatoes in 1 litre ice cream buckets
And green chillies in terra cota pots



Life's GOOD
