Are you thinking how much area you need to just make your own garden? Do you also want to have your own plants at home ๐Ÿก?

Then I think all you need is some patience and lots of love.

So gardening is not a big deal until you think that plants can grow on their own. You need to take some part of your day and take care of them.

When we started, we literally had no knowledge of how to plant a flowering plant, what type of salt we should use, and how much water we should provide.

We got to know more in the process.

This is how we started. Plants cost so much when they grow big ๐Ÿฅนso we brought baby plants from the nursery and that minimized our cost to nearly 90%.

The same plant after flowering sells for 2 or 3$, we brought their baby version for only 5 cents. Hehe ๐Ÿ˜‹๐Ÿ˜‹.

I know they need extra care also, but my brother did it all.

I literally had very little contribution but he always kept an eye on them.

Everyone said, we cannot grow a garden in a small apartment but we did it. The problem was that it was not just a small apartment, but also had a small balcony, and that too with low sunlight ๐Ÿฅน.

But after taking care of all of them, we saw the results. Giving them nutritional supplements from time to time is a must, or else either they will die or they wonโ€™t flower.

After all your hard work when you see the results, thatโ€™s so overwhelming ๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿ’—.

We used to place them on the balcony for watering and taking care of them. We also use to check if there is any kind of pest presence and if that happens my brother is just pissed off ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚.

He behaves like he will kill the insect which is destroying his plants. He loves them so much ๐Ÿฅบ.

When we used to hang them, people from the neighborhood used to say that they are artificial flowers ๐ŸŒบ๐ŸŒธ.

Their mommy used to convince them that there is some kind of misunderstanding.

Just look at how amazing it is looking. We used to watch them for hours.

Such bright flowers๐Ÿ’—.

I am in love with them. I am trying to learn more about gardening. And I hope I get a job taking care of plants ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚. I think I will do my best.

This amazing one ๐Ÿ˜.

How can someone literally ignore them ๐Ÿ˜‚. I feel like eating them but I also love them. They look so juicy.

*Note โ€” This gardening thing we did last winter and these were the results. We were overwhelmed and excited to do the same this winter also.

So I am going today to bring more plants from the nursery and hope they grow well. I want a healthy future for them.

Please bless them with your love ๐Ÿ’.
