Gardening.

Going back to my childhood days in bhopal i remember that gardening became a big passion for us.As i had told you in my earlier blogs that we got a big house with big courtyard.Initially when we occupied the house it was a barren land and the earth of that area is of black colour and it is very fertile.My eldest brother is very fond of gardening since childhood and we the younger ones used to assist him.Within a year we turned our courtyard into a beautiful garden with lot of beautiful flowers like marigold,jasmine,mogra,different colour of roses,sunflower,Raat ki rani ( used to smell great specially after the evening ) and there were so many flowers whose names i don't know.There was one small plant with lots of flower was named 10 o clock because flowers used to bloom at that time.
It required lot of labour and hard work and apart from flowers we also started growing lot of vegetables like cauliflower,peas,tomato,beans,brinjal etc.We also brought small fish of different colours in different shapes and sizes and put them in water tank of fountain which was in our courtyard.Slowly word spred out about our garden and people used to come from far away places for flowers.Even our landlord got surprised to his house changed so beautifully by us and he got so happy that he told my father that he himself couldn't have done it and he told my father that from now on you consider this as your own house and do any modification in the house if required and there is no need of any permission.
