Assalamualaikum,

I just started gardening about 1 month ago.... so far progress has been so-so and since recent discovery of this forum I am hoping that my Balcony garden will improve. I am doing container gardening on my balconies with some flowers, herbs and vegetables. I am mostly at seed and seedling stages with exception of some roses, jasmine, curry leaves and lemon tree which i got from nursery. I am hoping to creat small fragrance garden with vegetable fruits on my balcony. Hope to learn a lot from this forum and perhaps to join in on the flower seed purchase for this year fall planting season.

Salam...
Mrs. Khattak

Btw if u go to NARC often, do plz share pics of some of the interesting varieties of fruiting and flowering plants they are breeding for Pakistan. Saw this programme on dawn TV. Didn't know we had such a nice agri research n preservatory org

Yes, no doubt. They are doing very hard work and producing out of season varieties and some seedless vaerieties too. I don't go there often but if I visit next time, I will try to share pictures.
