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.
Here are a few rare fragrant flowers:
Scented Geranium Seven year apple.

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?
How did they do it?
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?

The plant that prays for us.

Would you believe it? A plant that is called prayer plant because of its leaves.
The Maranta is called the prayer plant that grows in South America. They are actually cultivated for their colorful leaves that spread during the day and become straight in the evening.
The most well known species in the family is arrowroot (Maranta arundinacea), a plant of the Caribbean, grown for its easily digestible starch.
Arrowroot is used as an article of diet in the form of biscuits, puddings, jellies, cakes, hot sauces etc., and also with beef tea, milk or veal broth, noodles in Korean cuisine, or boiled with a little flavoring added, as an easily digestible food for children and people with dietary restrictions. The lack of gluten in arrowroot flour makes it ideal as a replacement for wheat flour in baking.
