I love gardening and can spend any length of time tending to my plants...I personally feel that spending time with plants amidst nature is the best therapy for stress and depression.You forget all your worries while you are looking after their needs and things start looking not so bad ...

Thats really beautiful. You know sunil, Mangalore weather is not at all favorable to Roses.I have a white rose bush which hardly flowers.When it does once in a while we all feel very happy..
In that case take this one in front of my Bangalore home front gate. Although this one I cannot say mine because the is on the road. I took it in March this year.

Gardening is definitely a good hobby. This also adds to greenery and healthy and pleasant environment.
No doubt gardening is great hobby but i never liked it. My mother does it and we have lot of plants at the roof of my house. :)
I like to plant many small plants in my house and i had planted tulsi,mint and money plant.
I have Tulsi, Money plant, mango, pomegranate, guava and ole vera etc as well and all are full of fruits these days although mango is no more on my trees because of too many storms this year.
Gardening is an effective way to exercise.It's gives lots of pleasures to us.

Even I love to spend time with plants. but we dont have any special plants. Only tulasi is there and 2 some other flowers. I love to maintain plants as nursery be. but i have one problem if we leave the house and go some where for vacation who will look after them
According to the University of Virginia, gardening rates up there with other moderate to strenuous forms of exercise, like walking and bicycling. It all depends on what gardening task you are doing and for how long. Like any other form of exercise, you have to be active for at least 30 minutes for there to be a benefit.

According to environmentalists growing even a single plant by an individual is good enough to balance out the ill effects of the chemical wastes that is polluting the atmosphere
And not to forget the beauty and greenery that is part and parcel of the hobby. Why you can use some of the vegetable and used tea as fertilizers for your home plants.
I will say one example that one of our old hero name is nageshwarrao he will grow vegetables for himself daily he will do gardening now his age is nearly 90+ but still he looks like 60+.

Sunil, I make my own compost at home. We have a fairly large garden so space is no problem. We have dug a pit into which goes all kitchen waste like vegetable peel,fruit peel, egg shells,tea leaves and even stale food which I cover with soil and dry leaves and once it is almost full it is allowed to decompose with regular watering. It is ready for use within a month or two.
That is very common thing in our household. My father who was an agricultural engineer was very much interested to do all the work until he lived. He used to work in our garden for 3-4 hours a day. We had all kind of vegetables, flowers and fruits. Now the garden is not as maintained due to many reasons. Now my wife does all the gardening in whatever space we have left with. I can only say that this is one of the best hobbies if one can spare time and have apace.
Earlier I didn't feel the need of a graden...due to my husband's private job and shifting. At my home, I have an amazing garden.....Palm plants more than 15 years old....orchids and many types of flowering and non-flowering plants. This January I planted some pots here!!!
I just started but now, I think about 60-75 pots are there
