New life in the garden

Even though I have a hard getting around now since being diagnosed with PSP, I'm happy to say that I have re-started my garden with the help of my oldest daughter, Shilpa, and my sister-in-law, Padma, both of whom have been quarantined here due to the COVID pandemic. I'm excited to show you all the new developments!

Shilpa and Padma bought tons of seeds from the dollar store, including marigolds, spinach, cucumbers, and tomatoes. The marigolds have been planted in the corners of our raised beds to help keeps pests away. And, it looks like we'll have lots of tomatoes this summer! Check out these seedlings. We'll transplant these seedlings soon into one of our raised beds. 

One of our French sorrel plants has bloomed and now has lots of seeds for us to plant. We absolutely love French sorrel in our house, and often cook it with spinach and dahl in the tastiest Indian curry. Here are some pictures of the seeds - aren't they pretty? 




We had a lot of work done to our garden this past summer, to help make it more accessible as I have a harder time getting around. We also added a gazebo, which we've wanted to do for the longest time. 



Hope everyone's staying safe!


Written with help from my younger daughter, Sushma.

    1. Hi Smriti, thank you for your comment. It is not exactly gongora but you can use it in similar ways. Like with chana and dal.
