Saturday

Grow me my very own garden

     The vines and the rest of the plants will be arriving before noon tomorrow. There is one large balcony that is desperately in need of some green. 
     Not that there's any lack of it around. That's the nice thing about Goa this time of year. You can't take fifty steps in this town or beyond without coming across sprouting paddy fields, towering palm trees or someone's perfect little garden. But then it's always nicer to have something to call your own. 
     The ivy vines will need to claw their way up the concrete wall from one large (not so large) rectangular pot. They will do the heavy lifting. Without them there is no foundation. The rest of the creepers, some purchased, others cut discretely on one of many long walks to nowhere, will have no choice but to cling to the vines. They are the more delicate and beautiful of the bunch; the ones from which flowers will eventually bloom. If and when the time is right.
