Weekend Update

May 29, 2012 By Vidya 4 Comments

How was your weekend? We’ve been pretty busy, as you can see.

Weekend Update

Yup, finally we zeroed in on the landscaping. No, we are not tackling the whole thing, just parts of it. These are all the plants that are going in. Any guesses as to what all is being done?

In other news, meet Mr. Calm and Ms. Lightning Bolt aka. the kids’ imagination in overdrive :).

Weekend Update

We got these two neon tetras from Walmart for the water garden, which by the way is going great. I ran out of luck on the second water lily (here is the original post where I set it up for this year); had to take it out as it was rotting. The elephant ear in that pot did not look as good as the ones that I planted outside. So I’ve taken the third pot out. Will put it back in once it is established.

Weekend Update

See, what a big change 3 weeks make? And the best part…..

Weekend Update

Not one but TWO BUDS!!! And that too from just one plant. I’m on cloud nine.

No…I’m not done yet, there’s one more project up my sleeve. 🙂

Weekend Update

More about that tomorrow. What have you all been up to?

    Hey, I went plant shopping too last weekend and got a jasmine, a rose and hydrangea. Not sure if the Hydrangea will survive in my very sunny balcony but we’ll see as we go.
    Looking forward to your water lilies blooming now.

      Sounds great Sunita. Hydrangea usually does well in a sunny spot. The ones in my grandparents’ place was in the shade and didn’t really take off. All through my childhood the plant looked healthy but never really grew big and flowered only rarely. Back then we always used to wonder why it did that. After coming here I’ve noticed that they thrive in the summer in full sun. So keep your fingers crossed. Love the fern on your balcony.

      Thanks Erika. We have sprinklers in the yard. So we are kinda scared to do it ourselves. Haven’t heard from the landscaping guys yet. Hopefully we’ll get everything the ground soon. Waiting to see what you’ve got. 🙂

Love this outdoor space with a beautiful red and blue outdoor decor with a flamingo pillow, metal tray side table, and loads of green plants

Finally the long overdue post, our new screened in porch reveal. This space has undoubtedly become our favorite room in the house now. To tell you the truth, I was against the idea of ripping apart our good size deck and replacing it with a screened in porch but B insisted that this was the…
