Garden Affair : Jasmine the summer survivor

The Summer is breaking every past record with day  temperature hovering above 45 degree Celsius . The ongoing heat wave has made it difficult to step outside and much alike it is becoming tedious to protect Garden from horrendous heat wave . 

                     While it is becoming impossible with rising temperature to take care of plants in these hot  summer days,  I am glad that Jasmine varieties are continuous blooming in spite of horrendous heat wave and thereby surviving  the worst of summer .

Jasmine care and propagation                                                                                                                        

Jasmine plant is a hardy plant that survives drought and up to an extent severe winter and summer . They give more  blooms when hard pruning is given in spring season. This plant can be easily propagated through stem cuttings in spring and rainy season.

Garden Affair : Heatwaves hit the city

 Summer is at its peak the unbearable hot weather is making it grueling to step out in the outdoors. The Garden is also not spared from scorching Summer heat and it is becoming tedious to protect plants from this harsh weather. 

                                         Plants after heat waves 




The weather forecast for upcoming week is threatening as there is no respite expected  from heat wave  in coming days. There are considerations that I had always applied in harsh summer days to protect plants from any harm from heat wave which are mulching plants, watering sufficiently, creating moisture environment by keeping plants near water plants or artificial water bodies.                                                               

It s surprising to see in spite of  harsh weather Jasmine  varieties are coming up with fresh blooms
