I planned and started in August but then everything has turned out differently, but I am not giving up.
In first week of August, I decided to put Chrysanthemums saplings for this year, for which I preserved few mother plants and took care of them, about which I shared in this post in late July.
Even though the pots were in that abandoned place, I still started the work, with the kid coming to help me. This place is full of mosquitoes, so I had to arrange some smoke before I could work, it was very painful, but I did not want to loose the time.
The mother plants grew really well, and I thought to have as many saplings as I could, so that they can be used by the society free of cost. Each plant costs 30 rupees so they could save that money.
For that reason, I had many big pots ready - you just put these saplings and leave them for couple of weeks to grow.
Without smoke, it was literally impossible to work there - the mosquitoes would easily take you to hospital.
I have been involving the boy in my garden activities so that he gets the idea and gets interested in these activities - their generation desperately needs that.
And look at the survival rate after 24 days - it was not bad even though the weather has been horrible this year. It has been continuously raining for last two months and that was not a good sign for the saplings placed under trees at this abandoned place. I thought, it will be sunny and this place will be good, but then continuous rain destroyed the plan. It seems our season is getting shifted because of global warming effects.
So I decided to bring these pots out, so that these saplings can grow better under sunshine. But then the outside park was full of grass and I called the society members to understand their plan for this year. If you remember, they wanted to convert the area to a play ground and ruined the entire garden, but nothing has happened since then (almost more than 8 months) - people who are in charge have little interest. When I asked them do we again start gardening, they were still reserved about their decision - hold on, and don't plant anything directly. However you can keep your pots and if needed we can transfer them to the other side.
Such a shame - even after me following with them for last three months, they still don't know what to do. There was no way I could clean the place, so I called on the same person who worked last year to clean up and transfer the pots, more to come on that....
