Developing a garden

[Farhan Ahmed]

Sir regarding the rockery...
I got myself made one it was quite inexpensive....

Ingredients
1. Half bag of cement and a hundred odd red brick ( i collected them from here and there however market rate is Rs 6 each)(for the base)
2. dozen cacti, succulent and grasses type plants....(i buried entire pots in the mud)
3. Mud for filling
4. Red/black rocks i collected myself from a nearby mountain quarry.....

and rest was the labor which was not more than 1500.

I think it needs not to be grand......

Sirji excellent rockery and your own effort too, therefore, priceless. Unfortunately the rocks you gathered might be quite a price in the plains of Lahore.

Yes Izhar I think it is Terminalia mantaly. My friend put onw in his house and it seems to shedding most of it's leaves so I wondered if it was deciduous. If so it might be a good tree where you can plant plants which get sun in winter and shade in summer like gerberas and ofcourse it is very beautiful and symmentrical too.

Sir, T. catappa has large leaves, it is very common in Karachi, but your tree looks like with smaller leaves... it could be a Terminalia mantaly...

Thank you I stand corrected, it is not Catappa .

Farhan, lovely rockry.
Hedges look good only if trimed flawlessly. I gave up hedges long ago, the effort was much more than the result. Now I aim at low maintenance gardening.
