We are in some dire need of colour in the garden it is far too green as you can see… no flowers to speak of, which we do need to change.
I know that this is asking too much as usual but getting flower seeds here is nigh on impossible and surprisingly the garden centres are not that good - full of green plants only.
Therefore we have a new wish - for flower seeds - not sure what but stuff that will flower every year and is quite ‘big’ as the garden is large and to have any impact they will need to be too - fox glove type of thing. Given the weather out here I think that most of the year is growing season as we do have sun, heat and water readily available.
At the end of the garden we have these arches which would be quite nice to fill - to use as a frame… same on the other side…
Our Mali’s - gardeners, have also started to work over the kitchen garden and have planted some veg already though once again there is stuff that you can’t get here - namely cucumbers, courgettes, iceberg lettuce, cherry & BIG tomatoes, and most needed onions - we can only seem to buy red onions - but for some reason I don’t think you can buy onion seeds - it has to be onions…. bit hard to post huh.
We have already - lady’s fingers in the photo and have planted: carrots, spinach, aubergine, cabbage, tomatoes, corriander, cauliflower, brocolli… and probably a nother thing or two.
Fresh lettuce…
I know it will be too much for us to eat so the staff get some, as do freinds when they visit. Good fresh veg - better then the market stuff.
To send seeds out - bit by bit - it would be best to either office - london or delhi. Just need to hope that they will get through customs.
Lastly - which will be a job for somone when they visit - to build a chicken coup to go here so we can have our own chickens and fresh eggs.
Now I wonder who that could be?
