Garden Affair : Spring Flower Schizanthus

 Spring season has began in our region . Spring season known for the abundance of blooms in the Garden has been recognized as one of the most awaited season for Gardeners. This year winter season lasted for a shorter span of time period than usual which accelerated the arrival  of  spring season earlier than every year.  

        Schizanthus or Angels wings or Butterfly Flower is one of the most attractive spring flowers which are grown for their resemblance to orchids and even butterflies. It is a fact that these are also  known as Poor man's Orchid .                                      



                                                              Poor Man's Orchid or Schizanthus




Growing Tips for Schizanthus                                                                                                                   


Schizanthus are easy to grow Annuals as they survive extreme weather conditions and even moderate drought conditions with a periodical requirement of rich natural fertilizer.

Aquaponics and its benefits

 Aquaponics  is a new technique for growing food  that is increasingly becoming popular owing to its easy implementation and its one of the main advantage above other techniques that we are being able  to obtain huge harvest with minimal efforts and expenditure .It is a eco system which  involves growing food through a set up where fish fertilize the plants and in return plants filters the fish tank. It can be set up at a small level in your backyard or balcony also   which only requires a Fish tank and a container or pot for growing your veggies .

                                                                





Types of vegetables and fruits which can be grown through Aquaponics                                                

Aquaponics technique can be rewarding for growing green leafy vegetables ,Tomatoes, Cauliflower     ,Broccoli, Beans and other legumes. While most of the veggies and fruits can be grown through        Aquaponics it should be taken into consideration that veggies that require acidic soil like                        Pepper, Garlic and Radishes should be avoided in growing through Aquaponics.
