Autumn season

 

October had  begun with a rounds of downpour that brought down the temperature and had made the weather  favorable for the onset of autumn which is actually identical to  spring that comes after monsoon  for our region . 

                                                                                

                           The summer blooms and the blooms that occur due to transition from Summer to winter  helps Garden moving on to brighter days.                                                 

                                                                  

Autumn is a process of rejuvenation of Garden after summers and monsoon has passed away, formation of buds on perennials is ubiquitous into the Garden.                                                                         

Autumn is in general a best time to spot blooms from summer annuals and perennials .

Garden Affair : Pink prevalent in the Garden

 We are into the October which had an odd  beginning with a round of downpour. October is generally time when weather is transitioning into the Autumn season. This particular year summer annuals are into their prime of blooming stage even in the October month. 

I never plan for my Autumn Garden as Summers here are harsh and  the aim to protect plants from harsh summer and the concurrent  monsoon is a priority. While the Garden itself is spontaneous to come into view in the Autumn after nourishment of  Monsoon Downpour . This year it  seems the Autumn Garden will bring the riot of Pink shades in for 'The Autumn Play '

Garden Affair : Balsams

 Monsoon rains acts as a nectar to the nature by bringing greenery and life back after  withered off summer season. Balsam is one of the flowering annual that grows well in the monsoon. 

                              

Growing period and method 

Balsams are hot temperature annuals and can be easily grown through seeds . They love sun and are usually full in blooms after first monsoon rains.
