The weather has spoiled all the plan this year - October Garden Journal

It does not work always as per the plan

It hurts me to see my beautiful trees not flowering. Growing them like a child and putting all the effort, the result is not what I expected. You can see my previous post here. Even though, I am moving between my native place and this place , I try to put maximum effort to make sure, I have got them grown up well. They have grown well, but not giving results as expected. Blame the climate - we have several low pressure bad weather going on for more than a month. The rain this year is highest in last two decades. And surprisingly the temperature is not going down. By October, usually we get the touch of the spring, but this year, things are way different. By this time, these trees would have been glowing with flowers. I do a plan to plant few of them every 2-3 weeks with a calculation that, they will grow in a month and start flowering. So this time also, I did plant six stems, to plant for winter. I was expecting these trees to flower for a month, and then the new ones would catch up. Seems the weather has spoiled it all. You can barely see few flowers in one or two trees. It's disappointing, but that is what Nature is - we never can plan for the unseen events. The best we can do is build continuously. If it works then good.

So planted these new ones with the hope that, they will grow up and we will have flowers in Winter at the minimum. In the Winter, its very difficult to get flowers, and if 6-7 trees grow up and give good flowers, then that would suffice our requirement. Hope these mini cyclone saga will end soon.

Someone had placed this dog in the roof top - for a moment I was scared when I first went there. But then since it did not move, I could figure out, its a soft one. Someone just kept it there, to be cleaned in rain water 😀

The mint trees were destroyed with continuous raining. I just took out the bad ones and provided more space to grow fresh.

The Aloe vera has been able to grow well with all these weather issues. As you can see, it has now got few children. Soon, they will grow young and we will be able to cut the big ones and have a nice drink.

And the spinach has come up this time - after 3-4 attempts, we got one, though I planted 3 seeds. Hopefully this will grow good and can feed us for quite a month.

I have planted these stem grown marigold trees at my native as well. Unfortunately its disappointing there as well. It was a lot of effort to start growing there. And as I do everything on my own, its a lot of effort to maintain at both the places. It's literally, where ever I go, I work and work. But if I do not work also, I cannot live with peace. So better to try the best and live the results to the nature. At least it gives some happiness of being able to try and relieves stress in some way.

how are you dear friend @sanjeevm good day
I am very sorry that things did not turn out as expected. rain is a blessing for plants, but when it rains heavily it is counterproductive. I hope the weather improves soon
Enjoy the weekend

Ya, hope so. Its October and we should have Winter by now.

I advise you to use nettle as a fertilizer
Here a link if you want

I will write an article on this topic and I will show you some examples that we use in our farmer cooperative

I use seaweeds, but this is another great idea, to prepare it ourselves. Stinging Nettle is found in the Himalayas though 😀, we can use some other suitable weeds.

Sorry to hear that the climate change has been ruining your gardening efforts :( I think many farmers and gardeners from all over the world can relate to this problem. Hopefully, you will still be able to grow and harvest at least a part of what you originally planned...

All the things prested in your garden is presented in the garden if most of the people bcz we use it our day today life in different ways @sanjeevm

At least in current time and make a plan will surely fail. I am facing since one year. My all plan goes fail.

Sometimes things won't go as we expected. That's the nature of our life. I can see, your plants haven't done what you expected. But I think giving them time is the best thing to do. I wish the bad climate conditions to go away soon. Good luck.👌

Nice looking aloe, They are an essential part of a garden

The aloe drink is too good for recharging us.

Sorry to hear the weather has affected your garden dreams! We just had unusual rainwater here too but it was welcomed at this time. You sound fairly philosophical though .. and I'm glad you find stress relief in the garden anyway. I'm busy repotting aloe Vera currently as it got waterlogged!

That dog would have given me a fright too haha.. I bet you jumped!

Ya, It definitely frightened me, because there is actually another real dog by an owner, and I thought, it was a new addition

Wow. You did nice gardening and have plenty of plants of plants in veriety. It could have been awesome if it rains and I can understand your situation. Hope things get better soon.

The best we can do is build continuously.

Agree with you we have to work continuously without thinking about short term profit and loss in the long run we are going to bless heavily by the good.

Stay positive

It's really sad. Your trees still look green but there are no flowers. Hopefully the flowers will bloom very soon and the hopes of your mind will be fulfilled. In fact, due to climate change, many of our vegetable trees are not getting good yields here or other trees are not getting good results.

I really like these rhinoceros flowers. I bought their seeds a few days ago Now their cheese is growing

Many gardeners are very affected by the effects of the weather. I also suffer from this problem

I forgot to mention one thing and is the the dog looks real to me 🤣🤣🤣 @sanjeevm

There are beautiful flowers. There should be a small garden at home. It should have many kinds of flowers.

Because i am from gwalior madhyapradesh and our city is very hot in the terms of temprature... @sanjeevm

Sir do you prefer terrace gardening most of the time? Terrace gardening is really amazing but, it needs extra care more than regular gardening.

I just try to do based on whatever available - there is no other option than terrace gardening in the apartment. Even on top of that, they say, to make sure, it does not hurt the roof top. It's a lot of work, but can't get rid of it because of habit.

I see, do take care of them then sir. 😊

The trees look very healthy anyway. Maybe they flower when they are stressed? I know some plants do that.

But at present is important for farmers ❤❤ @sanjeevm
