My preparation for spring is almost over and its just the waiting and watering game now .......This season i have focused on landscaping to create a cottage garden feel with cool season annuals. Most of the annuals are self seed sown. Since January 1st we are receiving reasonable frost here in Risalpur. Here are some glimpses of the garden.

Broccoli, Dill, Cabbage and Potatoes facing the brunt of frost.





Nasturtium after frost


Cosmos
This plant is flowering since last two months non-stop(i am regularly deadheading) and seems not to care for anything frost included.


Lisianthus..i wonder if they would flower for me


Ivy Geranium
Its a matter of personal choice....absolutely nothing beats Pelargoniums


Linaria


Marigolds still going strong



Toothache plant on buds suffering from weather though


Nanthra in its fall color looks so gorgeous


and last of the Mums

Splended!!! What is this Toothache plant? Heard it first time; does it actualy cure the ache? local name?

[Farhan Ahmed]

Thanks all..........@munir.....i don't think toothache is available locally.....and yes it does soothe ache.....fruit/flower is more potent, i tried leaves and it numbs the mouth for a duration

Update:-

Nasturtium suffered from morning frost and some top leaves are damaged. Though it is said to bounce back if faced with light freeze, precautionary i have covered it with plastic. Nothing else seemed to have been bothered by frost. Larkspur are rather enjoying it
