Good time to plant bare root roses is February
I bought two from Aldi. One is normal rose plant and another is climber
Both are winterhart
Before planting them , keep roots in a bucket of water for 4-5 hours . It will make them moist .
If you are potting in a balcony, choose VERY BIG size pot as their roots grow fast. If planting in earth, dig deep.
First layer of soil, second layer of compost ( here I used Rosen Dünger घोड्याचे शेणखत ) , third layer of soil and then place your rose roots over it .
Make sure compost is not touching to roots . Else it will destroy them. Third layer of soil is very important.
Cover it with good quality soil leaving 2 cm main stem over soil.
Bare root roses purchased for shop always have green colour painted on it's small stems. Cut that painted part.
To avoid any type of infection to small stems , apply some pure turmeric powder over its tip.
Water it nicely. Make sure your pot has water drain holes . Avoid without holes pots.
Always water your plants when upper layer soil is completely dry.
My plants took 3-4 weeks to show first sign of growth. ( पहिला कोंब ४ आठवड्यांनी उगवला )
These plants need plenty of sunlight.
Infections :
1. Black spots on leaves
2. White fungus on stem and leaves
3. Fungus in a soil
4. Small green colour insects covering newly born brach / bud
Treatment :
1. Dilute 2 spoons NEEM OIL in 1 litre of water. Spray it on plant. Never use it without diluting. ITS TRIED AND TESTED METHOD. WORKS PERFECT. I USE IT TO OTHER PLANTS TOO.
2. No side effects
2. Add turmeric powder to water and spray it .
3. For soil fungus, let upper layer of soil dry completely. It's because of over watering.
Cutting and pruning:
After flower blooms (and dries on plant ) , cut that stem . जिथे ५ पाने एकत्र असतात तिथे फांदी कापून टाकायची. ३ पाने वाल्या फांदीला पुढे दुसरा फुटवा येत नाही / फुलं येत नाहीत.
Avoid using chemical fertilizers.
कांद्याची साल पाण्यात २४ तास भिजवून त्याचे १ पेला + ३ पेले साधे पाणी . आठवड्यातून एकदा थोडे थोडे घालाने.
भरपूर फुले येण्यासाठी हे उत्तम खत आहे. मी सध्या हेच वापरते
Actually I wrote same blog in Marathi language. But one of my non Marathi friend was eager to know what I have written there . I tried to write same in English .
Thanks to her .
Thanks Akhila for asking me English translated version . 😊
When I looked at my acrylic canvas painting , first words shined in my head were
PASSING MARKS ... Only 35 out of 100
So I decided to give same name to my this blog writing.
⛅⛅ SUNRISE ACRYLIC PAINTING ON CANVAS ⛅⛅
I was thinking to give this stylish, fancy name to my blog post. But as said by many "pearls seem to be heavier than the nose😀😆". I dropped that plan .
What comes in mind at first glance is always perfect ... PASSING MARKS ... Only 35 out of 100😛
The story of PASSING MARKS starts from my schooling . I was able to earn only 36 or 35 marks in drawing and that too because school could not fail any student in subject drawing . 😝 A girl who earned lots of points in other subjects got only PASSING MARKS in drawing ... always.
My drawing teacher tried hard but all vain. If he will read this blog today, he will give me at least 40/100😉
For the first time I wished to play with colors. Now another wonder was , how such a different idea came to my mind ... A pleasant surprise for me too 💖
I never had any connection with paintings n all , but that day I wanted to buy a canvas ...
I picked a canvas of smallest available size. Ask me why ?
Shade of my fear was darker than my desire toward colors. That was a fight between brain and mind . My brain was telling me again and again , "Painting, drawing is not your liking.It is not your expertise . Don't jump in it "
Then I turned my march towards color's cupboard. I was totally unaware of what colors canvas needs ..... I had never painted before...
Decided to have a smallest pack of acrylic with 8 shades. Just because , I didn't want to waste too much if nothing comes out perfect .
Out of which I used below 5 colors.
Generally artists use many types and many sized brushes for canvas. But for this shopping I accepted myself as uneducated . 😃 I used only one brush and that too basic .
Looking at this white canvas, I remembered my blank exam answer sheet.
In memory of the 35 points earned in school days , a color I picked was red. Red remark in my drawing book is my today's first color .
First strip of the canvas was painted to look as brighter as sunrise.
Then came my saffron ... who taught me to keep my head always high. The Hindu ....
Slightly wider than red strip. I gave him more room for his greatness.
BHAGAVA .. I always respect this color.
Our drawing teacher always taught us to paint yellow water color as background . Ohh that I forgot here .... Let's paint it now. Yellow background .
My canvas is as colorful as the HOLI. Heaven...😍
Now I had to paint a black dot on it . " NAJAR NA LAGE " 😂
I spread these dots on canvas like a kajal in my eyes. My loneliness, fear, tension whatever was there in my mind, all poured out with this black color. All ups and downs experienced in life, I painted them today as it is here in mountains . Climbs .. few were smaller and few were too high
Looks like assembling. My guess and attempt about colors is not so bad as I thought 😎
Yes ..come on . You can do it Amruta .
Now what do you think guys ? Shall I erase memory of red mark, my chosen first red color ?
Real life's tensions are stronger and deeper than the red marks of the drawing book.... so a little black shade on red strip.... a little bit.
Well, it looks like rising sky .Even though nobody likes it , I liked it.
My first painting I liked the most ... honestly
I can not lie with you people today .
These black hills are pinching me up a lot. Our life is not so bad .
Do we really need this much darkness , this much black color ?
Ohh yes .... We have a stress reliever in our coloring box ..... a symbol of peace .... white color ....
I painted a layer of white on yellow wash. It was looking calm now .Exactly same like when Surya Narayan rises while everyone else is in a deep sleep.
A fear that I will not be able to play with these colors has so far gone away. Today I have decided, no matter how many problems I have, no matter what points I earn ...I will always paint my sky the way I like.
My mind is flying high up in colorful sky like a flock of birds. Freely , happily .
My PASSING MARKS story finished here with freely flying birds. Gave a birth to my a beautiful painting and a sweet story. Hope you like both .... 🥰 So how many points are you giving me this time? 35,36 or 40 ?😅 ~ Amruta
Man may work from sun to sun , but woman's work is never done. Women are born to work and get unrecognized . Their domestic work , contribution towards family always remains invisible. As per what our grandpa and grandma says ....If work is blessing , do we feel same about housework ? If your answer is YES, is it a blessing for woman only ? Its just 5 AM and your alarm is beeping . You too need 5 more minutes sleep but you are not allowed . You too don't want to come out of your sweet dreams but you are not allowed . You are a woman. You are in kitchen preparing a meal for your family . Your hands are working as faster as they can. You just don't want to say BYE to your husband with empty stomach and without lunch box. You are about to take a sip of tea and you hear something. Yes...... its your baby , calling you from bed. Baby is screaming for your attention. Your little angel don't want anyone other than Mom :) You are a bucket of love for him. Now you have to forget your sip of tea. .....and it happens daily. Your sink is overflowing with dirty utensils. Bucket of clothes is waiting for you in bathroom. You house is dirty with socks thrown here and there . By the way, you know who!!!! It is unnoticed unless it is left undone. The clock is running faster than wheels of your baby's school bus. In a day you have to go to market, ,handle your husband's bank accounts,attends your in-law's medical appointments, have to take care of a man who sometimes behave like a stranger !! and many things. Now you are rushing back home to check on children , clean your house one more time, and trying to fix a cup of tea at least this time. Your man will probably sit with legs up on sofa that you just cleaned , with mobile in his one hand and newspaper in other, asking you to prepare something special to eat with tea. Society has placed value to work done outside home that is measured by salary. That work get paid and celebrated . This same society thinks a good woman should work without asking anything in return, should handle her pressures without raising her voice, without loosing her evergreen nature. I believe if you ask man to pay or a society to pay just negligible amount, they wont do it. Rather it will be a source of conflicts. Women do far too much than get appreciated . Call her 24 hours working machines, she will just smile. Try to find out meaning behind her smile.
Man , you may not realize it but these everyday activities are causing back pain.If she is saying "My back is hurting!", is does not mean she is complaining. If she is asking you to do something , it dos not mean she is avoiding her responsibilities. You are the only one to whom she can ask for help and she want to tell everything. Try to understand her.
She loves you. She loves your family too. She is taking care of your baby without any rest . She is not demanding anything from you other that your love and care. One tight hug, a word of appreciation, a touch of love is enough for her. Because she know
Without her managing at home, its impossible for you to go out and earn. And without you , it will be hard for her to manage at home.
:)
If you find her constantly trying to prove her value to you, she have already lost. Try to value your superwoman .
Thank you so much my little master. Love you a lot

Sometimes smallest thing take up the most room in your heart.

Someone is waiting for you with bunch of roses in his hand. A tight hug , no words to say thank you , eye language saying "Just be with me as always !"
Everything is sweet. But yesterday's wish was so special for me .
My 2 years child was wishing me in that stylish way .The biggest surprise for me was knowing that my prince is growing so fast :)
I will promise you my little heart ...... I will keep growing younger and younger as years passes by just for you .... To enjoy your childhood with you :)
