MS: The yellow flowers are baby daffodils! I love them too! :) First pot had coriander and second one has mint :) Handy while i am cooking--freshest fresh :)
Varsh: Absolutely!
Both of you--how in the world do you comment just seconds after I publish?! (very pleased too--thank you!!)
Ritu: yes--I know about feedburners etc--but still within seconds is superquick! :) I used to have Tulsi too..I miss it now! I used to have so many plants of tulsi in pune--and I used to chew a few leaves :)same pinch on dhania and pudina :)
jus minutes before i was here and then went back to see ur old blogs.( i was touched by the post on your father) and now i see two beautiful picture post cards. Too beautiful for words.Lovely garden you must be maintaining.
Mamta: Now look what you went and did ..boooohhoooo --i too sued to have ajwain, green chillies and tulsi in pune.I miss my old garden so much now!And to top it here i have to do everything myself and you can tell your papa..Life is just not fair!! I am now officially sulking for the rest of the day. And I am entitled to sulk :-):-)
Asha: Garden here in UK is very different from one I had in India. Here everything is seasonal and you gotta do everything yourself. My dad--you will find many posts about him. My book happened because of that and I have dedicated the book to him--it was totally for him.
From the photographs it does appear as if Spring is here. However from the weather outside I would say brrrr (winter continues). Nice pictures - maybe as good as mine I would say. ;)
Lovely pictures? is it difficult to grow coriander and mint in a pot? I wanted to try buying some but I have not had plants at home earlier.. what do you suggest?
The best time of the year always brings a cheer!!! Lovely window garden, Preeti! I like your arrangement of the daffodils in that glass container. Have an awesome day! Gayu
I am also happy in NY after more then 3months we had temperature above 15 C and its just amazing.... to get rid from those multiple layer clothes... and always running for cover... And its just matter of time trees will have new shoots... and it will be beutiful back again..
