Garden Affair : Jasmine blooms in Summer

       Summer season is devoid of colorful blooms as presence of hot weather conditions  makes it grueling for plants to survive the heatwaves . Although the summer  season is blessed with presence of fragrant Jasminum blooms which cover Garden with white blooms throughout summer and monsoon season that appears to  to be like a white blanket of flowers throughout summer  on plants wafting their  fragrance in the air.

Jasmine plants are quite hardy plants to survive any weather conditions they can withstand drought conditions in summer and still fill the plants with blooms. I had shared a detailed post on about Jasmine blooms  in past on how to care Jasmine plants for maximum blooms throughout summer.

Garden Affair : World Environment Day

 World Environment Day is observed on 5th June every year, the climate change is real and awareness needs to be spread in the world to save the environment.

The rising temperatures  , depletion of winter period , noticeable decrease of spring season, concurrent heatwaves in summer , loss of biodiversity are some of the downsides we can observe recently due to the climate change. 

                                                                   

What can we do from our sides to protect our environment                                                         

We can start at ground level to protect our environment Saving water and non renewable energy 

- turning of taps , using buckets and mugs for water use                                                                                

Planting trees is one of the most effective measure to save environment especially climate change.

Car pooling is one important step everyone should take  to reduce pollution and recent fuel crisis in world has been alarming to fathom the effects of depletion of fuel in long run.                                   

Promoting recyclable packaging and cutlery to reduce waste management

Garden Affair : Summer turns pink

 The last Fortnite of May saw harsh summer with unbearable hot temperature but the sigh of relief came at the end of month with western disturbance bringing down the temperature and making weather cooler. 

Although  consistent  summer weather had detrimental effect on plants some of the hardy summer plants survives the heat waves and bloomed throughout the May .  

                                                  Zinnias are the main attraction in summer season

Summer Garden is incomplete without plumeria blooms. 

Pride of India aka Lagerstroemia blooms are like ornament for summer garden  

Adeniums are the best summer bloomers

It is bizarre in a positive way  that Garden in summer had been bestowed with summer blooms pink  dominating the summer blooms this season . While summer is known for its prominent white jasmine flowers this time pink blooms are dominating the summer garden.

Garden Affair: World bee day

 May 20th is considered to be world bee day .This day is important to raise awareness about existence of bees in world .  Bees play an important role in ecological balance and maintain biodiversity in environment. 

                                                             

Why does presence of Bees matter to humans 

Bees are the prominent pollinators that help in production of food for almost 1/3rd population of world. Bees as pollinators play vital role in existence of some of the plant species in the world as they help in regrowth of plants. 

                                            The decline in bees especially in pollinating season like spring has been alarming . I had already talked in detail how Absence of bees in spring in my Garden was alarming this year. 

The simple steps taken by humankind of depleting use of harmful pesticides, preserving natural habitats for nesting can be a major contribution to preserving  existing of bees.

Garden Affair : Phalsa Fruit plant

While  Summer  season  bestows us with plethora of fruit varieties in the season ,I personally feel there is one underrated fruit which is delicious and only available for a short span of time in summer, Its phalsa fruit also known as Grewia Asiatica 

A tiny delicious fruit that grows in abundance on a  semi perennial shrub. The fruit has a mix flavor of tangy sweetness. 

                                            

        I had been growing this hardy plant in my garden for years now in my Garden and fortunately it bestows us with harvest in every  summer period .                                

                   Phalsa aka Grewia Asiatica  Is packed with medicinal benefits of   cooling body in summer,controlling and managing digestive disorders,respiratory issues .

May Garden

 This May  we have seen   quite unusual weather pattern owing to western disturbances . The first fortnight of May saw concurrent rains and week of scorching heat waves. 

Summer Garden has been different this May with more blooms into the sight   after  see the back of extreme heat wave conditions. 

                                               Zinnia  is offering  spark of colors in summer Garden 

Adenium blooms   had been great this summer season                            

                 Plumeria plant  wafts fragrance in the peak of summer with its breathtaking flowers                                    

When we talk about Fragrance summer Garden is incomplete without mentioning Jasmine flowers

                                                                   

 

            Gaillardia flower  are such a pleasure to grow in summer garden for their draught tolerant nature                    

                                                             

Pelicans are spotted most part of  the year in our nearby wetlands                                                          

Garden Affair : Summer abated by Rain

 The weather system this year has been quite contradicting to the past years .  When we are experiencing   warm spring in the  February  and cooler summer temperatures in April . The May month which is considered to be hot when summer is at its peak but this year the weather system has been out of the blue where it has been cooler  beginning of May month  after concurrent western disturbances that brought Rainfall . 

The drop in temperature had made weather cooler  and subsided heat waves which has become blessing  for the Garden. The summer and spring blooms are making strong presence  after cooler temperature.                                                     

Adeniums had been showcasing a flower show from last two months this year. 

                                                                                                  

  The presence of Summer and spring blooms  at  the same time in May month is what we don't see every year. 

                                                                     

This is the first time I had grown and harvested  Brussels sprouts in my Garden. 

                                                           

I am not sure these are healthy harvest or not anyone who has grown before please share your view?
