Best ideas for your garden.

I have no garden in my hose. I am living in the first floor of a house. It is a rented house.

I just can't imagine why I am the target of the parents of my students for garden related queries and advises. How on earth they imagined that I know something about garden when I can show them is a bald terrace?

Just because, I teach their children mathematics, they assume I know everything. Poor parents!
Oh no, poor me.

At last I think they are going to have the last laugh because here is a fragrant idea that I am going to divulge. Every garden will have roses and jasmine but I think there are flowers that are more fragrant and that will make the garden a place to visit by the neighbors.

Both are fragrant but the second one is just divine.

Grow apples in your living room.


I hope you see the apples clearly. But there is an oddity in it. Did you notice that the apple plants have no branches at all?

They are reported as one year old trees and they will grow p to 10 ft height.
How to cultivate this? Is there any coaching manual? Does someone offer live training?
