Salam everyone. Muhammad Zahid here from Lahore. Hoping to learn from you and share with you my experience of gardening.

Very new to gardening and actually went today to get 30 paneeris of flowers and veg to get started plus some seeds. Lets see how it goes...

My room is on the first floor of the house and there is a long kyari which was long abandoned. I got it cleaned, had fresh bhall added and got the paneeris listed above added. Along with mirch and tamator.

I also have lot of space in front of the main window of my room which I would like to convert into a reading place with lot of flowers, plants etc... I will need your help and suggestions for that - being totally new to this.

I am very excited. Hopefully my passion would last :)

Thanks

Please post pictures but from the apparent mispronunciation by our nurserymen it looks like

9. is Centaria montana (amazingly beautiful blue flowers)
10. Is most likely Euphorbia (does it have thorns?)
11. Impelium is a medicine, not a plant :-). Sorry no clue.

Hello again,

had some problem uploading photos as there is a limit on this forum to 256KB and photos are lot bigger in size.

I would need to upload them to some photo site and then link them from there.

M Farooq - thanks very much great help.

It is very easy to reduce the size if you have Microsoft Office Picture Manager. Almost all computers have if you have Microsoft Office in your computer. Right click the picture and open your picture with this program. Go to Edit pictures and use "compress pictures" which appears on the right hand side. Bingo ... you are done!
