I'm digging the soil. 

The neighbor's dog is barking at me right now what the hell.

I bought the seeds. Right now preparing the seeds. 

Spinach seeds. I wanna grow spinach.

Somehow my camera is picking this in weird angles. 

So I got a shit ton of pot mix and cocopeat like 10 pounds. 

 

 

 

[Preety_India]

This doggy is constantly barking at me. He is 10 feet away from me. He just isn't allowing me to work in peace. I took a picture of him. 

What the shit is your problem dude? Stop pissing me. 

 

 

[Preety_India]

Made 1 inch holes in the cocopeat. 

 

 

 

There's another dog barking (not at me) far away. Not all dogs are barking at me. Lololololol. 

But somehow this dog's barking is somewhat relaxing. 

 

My hands are soiled

So I finished potting this plant. 

My mom named the plant as "Marcel." hehe. 

It looks tiny and cute with glossy leaves. 

It's an umbrella plant. 

My beautiful cute little plant. 

[Preety_India]

This is a 5 day old leaf of that plant. 

That plant is special to me. 

 

 

 

Potted another one. 

This is a holy basil or we call it Tulsi. Found in every Hindu home. An auspicious plant of religious significance. 

 

 

[Preety_India]

I spent like an hour digging and transferring soil. Rehoming my plants. 

I potted a desert rose. It has a beautiful long stem with thick leaves. 

 

 

[Preety_India]

A total 6 hour effort. 

Finally potted the Periwinkle plant. 

 

So tired.. 

 

Total 5 plants and 6 pots. 

Periwinkle 

Umbrella plant 

Tulsi or Holy Basil 

Desert Rose

Spinach 2 pots. 

 

I want to maintain a regular habit so I take good care of these plants.

This is wholesome.

@Marcel today she literally asked me, "did you forget to water marcel?" 

[Preety_India]

It's middle of the night here (right now) and I am not getting sleep. I'm hyper excited about my new garden. 

I immediately ran to get a look at it. 

It looks pristine after some cleaning. The floor was stained with mud and soil so I scrubbed it earlier in the evening and now it looks clean like marble tiles. 

Some corners are still stained thanks to my mom who doesn't know how to maintain pots. Hmm. Stupid big girl is what I call her. 

Took some pics out of excitement.

*constantly runs to get a look at the garden. 

I keep looking at it after every 15 mins or something. I'm so obsessed with my new gardening adventure. 

Right now I am looking at it and simply not able to believe that I could actually do this. My dad used to love gardening. He would have been so happy.

I love to take pictures of my tiny cute Marcel plant. 

When it first came near my door, my mom called it an orphan. She watered it a bit. It was really tiny with two leaf buds. 

Then it kept growing even without watering. 

I have pictures of it from a few weeks ago. 

This picture was snapped on the 4th of December when it grew near my door like an orphan. Me and mom were curious to see this new child suddenly and vigorously growing near our door and we couldn't exactly figure out what it was. 

So we called a person from the gardening store to come and have a look at it. He said it's an umbrella plant. 

It grew up vigorously. 

At first I was a bit nervous because I thought it was something poisonous. But it kinda made me emotional. So I told mom I'll pot it. 

Yesterday I potted it and my hands were shaking, I literally Panicked thinking it would die if I transfered it to another pot. So far so good. It did not show any signs of dying. 

This is the picture from December 4,near my door. 

 

 

 

[Preety_India]

It has nice glossy shiny leaves. Looks like a succulent. 

I like looking at it. 

I plucked a few leaves so it might have to grow those again. The leaves grow in a bundle of five. 

 

 

[Preety_India]

I love love love my Periwinkle plant. 

But right now it looks slightly bent over and dull.. Like I don't know if it's because I transferred it to a bigger pot. 

I hope it doesn't die. 

I'm very new to all this. So I'm not sure if I'm doing all the right things. I followed the instructions on my gardening booklet properly. It shouldn't be a problem.

Everything is looking a bit bluish because of the Christmas lights that I hung over the railing over and above the pots.. That's where I usually put my Christmas decorations. 

All of my neighbors already hung their Christmas decorations. 

 

 

To the left in the picture is the religious Hindu plant of Holy Basil ( ?️?️..) 

next to it is is my cutest umbrella plant,then is the Desert rose. I don't get enough sunshine here. it's generally cold here and I live in a cold hilly place. so it's difficult to grow a Desert Rose, it needs abundant sunlight. 

the last time I unsuccessfully tried growing a desert rose was when I was living in a dorm. and I went to the terrace and placed it there for sunlight, annnnnd a stupid girl(bitch) from the dormitory stole it. like what the fuck man.... how can anyone steal a plant?  people always had their eyes either on my pets or my plants all the time and I can be a bit possessive around anything I care for.. (the way my mom is possessive around me.. roll eyes). 

 

[Preety_India]

Right now it's 4 am. 

And I'm wide awake with excitement. 

And I'm drinking a big bottle of coke. My God too much caffeine.
