Homegrown-Urban Gardening - Container Gardening

I think my gardening obsession began with my mom. Thanks to the beautiful garden my parents managed to put up in ground floor house in Hyderabad ,India.

Here is the picture of something that I have managed to grow from the seedlings , not to forget to mention that I live in Dubai now and the climate here can be very harsh . The temperature in summer reaches up to 50 degrees followed by mild rain in the winters which is of much relief .

Anyway, since my childhood I have always managed to have a sprig of something growing in a pot on my window or patio.  At-least, I have managed to keep a basil plant growing which has a spiritual side to it.They surely have brightened the place up and Now, in my new apartment,

I am growing tomatoes,marigold,table rose,vinca rose,dwarf lemons,Aloevera, pothos (Money plant),Kalanchoe,pepper chilles,cherry tomatoes,rotala indica,parsley, mint and two beautiful flowering cactus. I am so excited about having more space and being able to grow more of what I eat. 

This is how I stated.
