drip, drip go the drops

 guess you must have got the notion by now... i'm using a drip for drip irrigation! pretty neat, ain't that? and economical too provided that you undergo a week or two of  diarrohea, GTIs or something equally bad ;)

 the scribblings you can see are the ingredients of rose fertilzer

i just supported the nozzle with a stick and it dripped away water. drip irrigation's good especially in warm/hot climates because it maintains the water level in the soil. during  fruiting period the chances of blossom end rot also lessen

Pretty in Pink- Portulaca Grandiflora (also called Moss Rose)

this plant comes in cuttings.. you just stick in the stems and wait for the magic to stir up.. it loves the sun and does well with little water

red chillis

The joy of the harvest of one's very own home-grown things cannot be described in words. At present I am growing red chillis at home. Yesterday I harvested the first chilli. Here are some pics of the plants.
