I
have started to enjoy seeing my terrace filled with pots and plants and the
sheer pleasure of watching them grow keeps my going.I never knew I would get so
addicted to them.
Nagging
my husband into making some wooden boxes to accommodate more space for my
tomatoes and chillies has brought in loads of greenery to my garden.
I
started with 10 pots and now have 30 pots.I have also included a small bird
feeder to attract birds and a bird bath too.
My
vegetable garden now has -OKRAs(Vendaikai),SNAKE GOURD(Podalangai),Green
chillies(Pachamolagai),Greens,Radish(Mulangi),KERALA CUCUMBER(vellarikai),Tomatoes
and MINT(Pudina).
I
am loving it.I am getting so addicted that a visit in the morning and evening
to ensure that they are all okay cheers me up.
These
are my wooden boxes/crates that have tomatoes and chillies in them.
Here,u
can see a small kerala cucumber growing.
Here is my snake gourd growing on top with the ladder support that I have given.It grows so fast and the flowers so pretty to see.
The picture above shows my tomatoes trying to get bigger.
These
are the flowers of the snake gourd.Now,I am sure you can see the beauty in the
flower that I was talking about.
Adding
a green net cooled down the place as chennai is ever subjected to heat.

Hi
MY name is Neelima and Im from chennai.I love gardening and I have been trying to get wooden boxes for the same. Can you please tell me what was the wood you used for the boxes and where did you get them?
BDW love your garden looks
Thank you,Neelima for your kind words.I got them done locally with recycled woods.Alternatively,you can use get the vegetable vendor's wooden crates or used paint boxes to grow your plants.Ensure that you pierce holes in them for draining out excess water.
