So this blog is driven by my first little gardening project. We've moved into a new office building (a change from the rented offices we've been inhabiting). It has a patch each on the left and right of the building, both of which are currently overgrown. They look like they have been neglected for some months. Also, now that we are at the fag end of the monsoon season (all the humidity and moisture would even sprout a few hair on a bald-man's pate) one can just barely see the plants from the weeds. (It feels like we've had more rain this year in Goa than the last 4 monsoons I've witnessed. The normal rainfall in Goa is supposed to be between 300cm-325cm (120-130 inches). So far we've gotten 319cm (or 127 inches) of rain, but it feels like it's been a lot more).
I want to record the activities in the garden through pictures and words on this blog. The attempt is to make the garden as organic as we possibly can. I say 'we' coz I'm not the only one involved in this project - as of now. Let's see who lasts and how long. :) Me included.
I want to plant vegetables, herbs, and flowers. We'll find out what the others want to plan.
We've taken help to get the garden cleaned - Shainappa and his team claim to be able to do it in 3 days.
So enough of words for now - here are some pictures of how the garden looks at present. Let's see how it shapes up.

Can the nullah water be utilised when you get the dry season ?
Or maybe that too dries up!!
Or is the water too stinky??
Maybe...
Just find out.

well, there is no water in the nallah in the dry seasons. During the rains we don't have a shortage of water and so what flows in it is really not likely to be used. It seems fairly clean - though I've noticed people dumping their garbage into it :-(
