Today I want to write a full post on my experience in gardening. I had this front yard which was quite untidy and full of weeds. i tried plantation in different ways but despite of beautiful flowers there was no attraction at all. it was a mess.
Initially i thought I should go for a lawn but then the grass dropped the idea because I realized lawn was too difficult to care for and without Mali this would have been a worthless effort. This is how my it looked like initially.
I surfed the internet to get some ideas. some were really beautiful but the were either too complex, expensive or not compatible with our style of houses. But one inspired me. Take a look at this picture below
This however is a very small space, but i just needed an idea and here it is. so i planned my front yard in a similar fashion. cut out the amaltas, left the fruit trees and sogo palm intact and redesigned according to my need. the work started in october. and was completed in three weeks.
Meanwhile i had already bought paneeri from nursuries, They were of nasturtium, godetia, dahlia, petunia pansy and ranunculus
soon after the work was completed i transformed these plants into there planned locations.
Now after a long wait the result is here, completely transformed yard but it has still a lot of room for improvement. for example these pansies look beautiful but widely spaced and are deep, the bed needs to be raised for a better look and will be more asthetic if heavily planted.
nasturtium have covered the area almost completely. however some plants with height could have added more beauty.
Here is the overall look
Cassia Nodosa(for clear view look in following pictures) struggling in the middle among petunias, whereas rangoon creeper far back near the wall appearing as a single stem is expected to add beauty in summer.
while petunias falcon mix variety in the middle have yet to bloom fuller.
And who can ignore the beauty of ranunculus
Meanwhile Cinerarias are in full bloom
Calendula, though look amazing in this picture is not an eye catcher in the garden
