Garden Affair : Mango Tree

 Summer season has begun in our region , amidst the scorching  heat of summer it is summer season  fruits that come as a relief in this hot summer season . Mangoes are the most expectant fruit in summer . I had a old  mango tree in my garden from more than three decades.  The unique attribute of tree is that it bears fruit for two seasons. 

Mango tree is an easy to grow hardy fruit bearing tree which grows without requiring much care 

and can withstand drought like conditions. 

               This is the first harvest of raw mangoes for this summer season.

Garden Affair : Self seeded spring blooms

             Summer has been picking up with day by day increase in soaring temperature and it is right time to bid adieu to spring blooms.  I was taken by surprise when I spotted some of the blooms popping up by themselves in the spring garden. This is what excite me about spring when spring flowers grow by themselves in the season . 

                              I was intrigued by the Ice plant that self seeded itself  and bloomed in spring                                         

The marigolds looked adorable when they chose to grow among pot of petunias 

Larkspur are always fun to spot every spring this time they choose a spot which I planned  to raise a marigold bed and look at this they both are creating a dramatic spring scene together 

It was after monkey haul in the garden my tomatoes plants  grown for the spring  were pulled apart and when I was hopeless  it was in the backyard garden that I spotted self grown tomatoes plants bearing  ripe tomatoes growing under the tree .
