i had both my balconies cleaned today. the fact that it has been raining the last few days hasn't really helped the case that i have far too many potted plants for the space i live in...ironically, when the plants get unruly and encroach each other's space and grow wild and out of their designated areas too, i cant seem to cut them back or trim them, or beat them into order. as a result, i have multiple pots of the same plants. atleast 2 of every kind like noah put into the arc!!
sometimes the overhang looks lovely and allows me to forget i live in an apartment.... most of the times, the craving to have a home with a 'real' garden almost chokes me!
while it isn't difficult to start a small green corner in whatever space you have, it takes a little time and effort to maintain it. i've always watched amma tend to her plants and take great pride in each new leaf. i guess it came quite naturally. but when 4 old yogurt containers multiplied and became what it is today i really dont know. i just cant seem to rid myself of a few. i have ornamental plants, flowering plants, seasonal plants and herbs for the kitchen. it doesnt just sound like a lot....
i kind of like to think they have their own personality and their life will take its course and that i should give them the most conducive environ to live in and not interfere more than necessary.......i know it kind of sounds a bit looney!! but well... that's the truth! what do you think?

I personally love the look of plants that grow a bit wild..Our dad's home had Jasmine and roses that grew in profusion..the perfume was so intoxicating.. I think your garden looks nice..a bit of everything...
