Izhar Bhai. Out of 4 one died, it had to as it appeared awful from the start. Rest three were lifted from ground into a pot for a partial sun conditions all easily survived transplant shock despite hot weather. They are at the moment okay, however astonishing is that each of them keep coming up with buds (plants are around 6-8 inches), which are deadheaded.

Farhan, Thank you, you may know it or not but your project is of great value to me and I have learnt a lot.

There are hundreds of beautiful plants, but I cant grow them all. A garden is for personal enjoyment so grow only what you like.
Every plant has a specific place in a garden, select accordingly.
Pictures of flowers can be very deceptive get pictures of complete plants for its impact in a garden.
Expenditure on good seeds is a good investment.
For maximum enjoyment keep rotating the annuals.
Dont be greedy limit your stock of permanent s by being very selective.
A mistake does not have to be final, remove and replace.
Grow only what is happy in your environment (Sick looking plants make me sad).
Thank you again
Arif
