the garden at the main gate

i worked very hard this spring and wherever I could, I sowed flowers. Finally after all that effort, patient hardwork and innumerable times of getting the saplings I have brachichoma growing profusely outside the house in white and purple colours. In addition there is California poppies, the yellow flowers in the pictures here. The other alternative is the hardy calendula- also yellow, orange in colour, as well as the ever green marigold. In one of the pictures a bud of marigold is standing out in front of the camera lens.

the grass goes in a second -2nd March 2009

this is a picture of the back-lawn. Dash watches over as the gardener Sushil puts the grass in, my second attempt at the same. Earlier in the day i had gone all the way nehar-paar to get the grass- about 100 feet of it.
