Nature has that wish and I have to honor it.

In the first week of this month, I never expected the winter to go away so soon, so I did my best to take care of the white inca plants specially, as this was my first time experience with them. Unfortunately, within 10 days, things changed, and the impact was clearly reflected on the plants, as these are seasonal.

I promised to show you the white inca, and here they are, but they did not grow as expected. The high imbalance in temperature brought heavy fogs, and these plants were severely impacted by that.

So disheartened by this, I decided to move all plants to the other side of the garden, so that, they will get less sunlight.

Moving so many pots myself was difficult, to this time I decided to take some help.

We have a place nearby where people come in search of work and this is the first time I went there. Finding the right person to do gardening, is not easy because everyone I talked to said, they will do whatever I say - but that does not work for garden. Someone should be experienced with garden work as they have to delicately move the plants, and it was no less then taking interview of some people about their prior experience with garden work.

Finally I found my man, Bhimsen, who said not only he is quite experienced, but he has all the tools that he can bring with him but charges would be more than what others demand. And he promised me to pay only if I am satisfied - that assurance confirmed the perfectionist in me that this is the man I am looking for. And I promised him as well - if he does the work good, then I will call him every time I need. He was quite fast to clean this area, after which, I put some left over plastic sheets (used during painting the house that was purposely kept for any use in future - we minimalist always think of any possible reuse) to prevent the grass coming often after it rains - this was my learning when I visited the nursery.

Bhimsen appeared to be quite skilled, doing a lot of work, more than expected so finally I have someone whom I can leverage to develop this big area.

It's impossible to control the growth of grass, and they bring insects with them, that damage the plant growth. I had to take some expert opinion, after showing these photos, will share that separately - learning never ends in gardening.

Sunflowers are nicely coming up on their own - nature is on their side.

I was quite relaxed to give the plants a better place expecting they would last till mid March, but then out of nowhere, rain and thunderstorm came in doing the damage and reminding me the fact that we can never go against it.

So they are not going to stay longer and I have to let them go - Good bye is not easy but that is what Nature wishes. However, I will still try to replant some all seasoned inca again - have put some seeds to grow saplings ( my fourth attempt, and still not giving up), we will see how it goes. And this year, I have also collected seeds of different varieties and preserving them in a better way, more to come on that....Never give up.....

At times, I think, this area can be full of flowers round the year - hopefully that will come true some day.
