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?

Garden Affair : How my plants are surviving Heat waves

The April turned out to be quite a paradox of a month this year when first fortnight of the April saw concurrent rains and temperature  turned out to be chilly and thereby expected summer season was derailed . The later fortnight came with rising temperature and summer became extreme within in span of a week with  heat waves observed for most part of Day resulting in concurrent high night  temperatures.

 

Protecting plants  wilting from Heat waves becomes the priority in summer season. 

In the time period of last decade I have realized  the following hacks that actually helps in protecting plant from harsh heat waves and sunlight. 

Mulching the top layer of soil with dried leaves . It helps in retaining moisture in to the roots of plant.

                                                      

Installing a water sprinkling system in the Garden. A water sprinkler equipment helps in cooling down the temperature of Garden and protecting it from heat waves . 

                                                          

                                                                    

Installing   Green net protects plant from harsh heat waves and provide shade on plants to protect leaves from burning from heat and sunlight. This is widely popular method is  used in summer to protect plants from direct exposure of Sunlight. 

                                                        

The basic take away from all these hacks is that plants and Garden can be protected from detrimental effects of Heat waves when we bring down the temperature of Garden.

Summer season has arrived

 The first fortnight of April ended with a relatively cooler atmosphere contrary  to what we expect every year by the start of summer. The silver lining being enjoying spring blooms till the April. 

                                              Spring and summer blooms are in symphony   

I didn't remember when  was the last time I saw Antirrhinums blooming till April month in my garden . 

                                                                                 

Summer season brings back the splash of colors of Adenium blooms that brings back the vibrant energy in my Garden.

Amaryllis Blooming season is back

 

             April has started with unusual  weather as  when we expected Summer heat wave to took over the  city, the concurrent weather disturbances brought down the temperature and summer season  delayed  simultaneously.                                                   

The brighter side to this year unusual weather is we can enjoy spring blooms till the mid of April too. 

                                                                     

        Its Amaryllis blooming season   

                       

                                                                                          

Amaryllis bulbs are most easy to grow bulbous plants as they are hardy in Nature and can strive  any kind of soil still prefer warm climates to flourish .
