Warm spring

 The soaring temperature in the mid spring season is alarming with fear of Global warming and unprecedented climate change now becoming a  reality.  

The raising temperature had affected my Garden as  well as early summer blooms are already blooming along with spring flowers. 

                        Petunias are blooming aside summer bloomers Vinca and Plumbago in spring is not we see every year.             

I have always felt growing Single flowered Dahlia is more rewarding than  Giant Dahlias 

                                                         

             The unusual rise in temperatures in spring has affected spring blooming annuals in  adverse manner 

                    Buttercup and other bulbous blooms are out of shape due to sharp rise in temperatures                       

 

Meanwhile Garden is busting with colors of spring , Although the current changes in climate change scenario is indicating towards shorter period of spring season in coming years. 

                                                                                                                 

                                                              

                                                                          

                                   

                                                                                    

                                                           

                                                            

Summers are already around the corner poor Stilts have to travel in city for  quenching of water

Garden affair : My spring Balcony

 Its spring time the exuberant freshness in air is enough to bring euphoric environment in my Garden. 

My balcony in these days is adorned with prolific spring blooms  and it is giving more warmth than my Hot cup  of coffee. 

I had always being avid gardener since from my early childhood as I was bestowed with large gardening space in my home . It was when my small balcony was renovated with  addition of green space I realized the emphasis of below mentioned quote 

                                                " You should enjoy being in your garden space,

                                                   regardless of its size. You should enjoy 

                                               looking at it so be practical not aspirational.  "

                                                                        

                                                                      

                                                                        

It is the time for link up party Garden Affair where we can share posts related with Gardening, Nature and birds. The link up party will be open for a week.
