AoA. My love for plants, flowers and gardening started only in Jan this year, Thanks to Gardening Pakistan. This happened when I moved to Rawalpindi and got house with small area to be used for lawn and plants. Incidentally I got the same house where I had already lived from 2007- 2009. At that time I planted few fruit trees in the house which were to give fruit after 2-3 years . At that time I never thought I will ever be able to enjoy eating their fruit… But this year, I have already enjoyed lokat and apples should be ready within a month. Mango and Guava trees were already there. It gave me so much pleasure that today I am eating fruit of trees which I sowed with my own hands…
Coming back to the topic… I will be sharing my small successes towards setting up my garden (which should be a long journey, I guess, keeping in view me little knowledge about the gardening) This house had nothing similar to called plants and flowers. I had to do it all afresh.
After cleaning this is how it looked like – Fig 1 (Jan 13):
Preparation of Lawn
1, As per guidance on this forum I started with removing the 1 to 1.5 feet of sand to avoid weeds (fig 2)
2. Then filled the lawn with new bhal of swan river .. (fig 3)
3. Sowed the fine Dhaka grass
