They have been orphan for quite some time, so I thought we should adopt and use them.
Like me, many people in our society had kept a lot of pots on the roof top and couple of years back, when the society asked to move them from the roof top, everyone brought their pots to this small garden, with very few people taking to some other places. The cost of movement is not small, as these days, it's difficult to get people to work. The advantage of roof top was that they could easily take care of plants there, and it is free of insects and mosquitos. So after these pots were brought and kept here, they asked our gardener to take care of these plants initially, but since it was not his job, and he has a lot of other stuffs to do, they lied abandoned.
As you can see, the plants in these pots eventually died, and also this place was messed up, as its not possible to clean without moving them. And we even don't know which one belonged to whom, they have been completely abandoned for more than a year. So I decided to take an initiative to clean that place, find out the good pots, and use them, and throw the broken ones. The soil in these pots can be repurposed, by adding cocopit and other organic manures.
Again, its a lot of work to do alone, so I selectively picked few big ones, some to use for my white inca, and the longer ones to put some seeds of french inca, which can be used in other pots. Growing saplings out of seeds is not that difficult but I have not been successful earlier, but no harm in retrying, because I don't want to spend a lot of money again, going to nursery and buying saplings at a higher cost. When I visited them last time, they said, that was the last batch of saplings as people don't prefer to plant in January, since our days starts getting bigger from Makar Sankranti that typically falls on January 14th, marking the transition of the sun. So if we can grow our own saplings, then we can plant them even in January and I believe, they can flower in February - again all this is a Gardner's plan and execution.
So we emptied the soil and left for couple of days in sunlight and then with some organic manures, I have now used them.
Now see who came with a helping hand..
I told her about my plan, saying I am going to utilize these big abandoned pots and she came to help me to move them.
And when she saw these flowers, she entered inside and stood there till I finished the job. She loved the outcome of all my hard work and was inspired to come and work with me.
I have told our gardener to rescue all other pots, keep the good ones and throw the bad ones, clean that area, as its also possible that snakes can reside in such places. If all goes well, then we will have a bright future of these abandoned pots, more to come on that...

What a great idea to recover this abandoned space and reuse the pots. Without a doubt, it will soon be a beautiful flower garden.
You are doing a great job in the garden, dear friend @sanjeevm

There is a lot to learn from growing plants. Always interesting as i found out that watering less is better than more. Now the plants are more resilient !
That's a lot of work there. What you did is very commendable sir👏 am very sure other people would be very happy went they see this.
Well done 👍
Oh I want to know how it continues... That's for sure a lot of work to do

Sir, you have done a great job. If you had not given them this new life, they would have died in a few days. Thank you🙏
You did a great job. The pots looked pretty bad before. After cleaning, they look like they were reborn. Their new state is pretty good.
You are so concerned about some pots containing flowers in this one is ignored,they seem to be unmanaged,it seems that you took the right initiative to save them,I am glad they will be taken care of later,
Hopefully after these flowers are transplanted into a new pot and a little fertilizer is added so that these flowers thrive.
Your wife is helping you which is admirable, the seedlings will grow again in these pots and will be green at first and then colorful. Both of you and your wife are working very hard, I hope you will succeed. It is winter now so keeping the seedlings alive will be very challenging, I wish you good luck

What a great initiative, my friend, to recover those abandoned plants and thus have a much more beautiful garden. I imagine that there are many people who want to have plants but it must certainly be complicated first to have the time in addition to having the financial resources necessary to care for them.
