How Green is my valley
We are almost into September and the landscape here is replete with an abundance of Green. A pleasant sight, thanks to the wonderful rainy season we had, though it does make keeping the garden organized a heavy job.
In India Monsoons have always been very important determinant of crop production and many a political fortunes have been made and destroyed depending on the quantum of monsoon rains. Despite the advancement and the heavy talk of maintaining a 8% growth rate, we are a primarily agrarian economy. All the scientific advancements haven't been able to make weather prediction 100% accurate, it remains an imperfect and largely unreliable science; and so a good rainy season is always a pleasant surprise...a reason to rejoice.
The plants and the garden in general seem to be echoing the general mood; beautifully bejeweled with tiny droplets, gleaming in the crystal clear post rainfall Sun.

Your garden looks lovely. We are just coming out of our dry season here in Brisbane,and I'm looking forward to that explosion of growth that comes with summer rains.
The butterflies seem to be making the most of the sunshine in one of the photos! Your garden looks lovely. I know how the garden becomes a wilderness in the rain:(
Hello!!! Is your daughter back in school yet? My grandson started back this week! The summer sure flew by! Your rainy season looks devine! I can almost feel the plants rejoicing as they drink up the moisture when it happens here! Thanks for showing some of your really pretty succulents!
Very green and lovely! We have also been getting some rains so i can't wait to get back home to check out how my plants have been doing.

With the rains come work and beauty. One cannot have beauty without work. Last year we were in a drought this year the rains have come. My dad was a meteorologist and my husband joked that this was one job that people are paid to be wrong.
Priyanka, your garden looks amazing...congrats for being featured in women web
Hi,
I am a doctor too and have recently got into gardening. And i absolutely adore lillies... If you could tell me where in SaharanPur or Doon or anywhere in North do you get the bulbs/plants from, i would be off to a good start. I have done my MBBS from HIMS and Now live in Delhi... Hoping for a reply soon.
Regards

Oh my gosh, that is stunningly beautiful. We live in a very COLD area in the northeast US, but we are into everything green. Just lovely! Linda
A large garden is often referred to as being a park, and will often be a tourist attraction. In a large facility a number of workers will be responsible for the maintenance of the garden, and are called gardeners. Gardening falls under three primary categories, and these are outdoor gardening, indoor gardening, and water gardening.
