Coming to the point of this post, the facility management takes good care of the garden in the office and grow different variety of vegetables every quarter. Once they yield well, they replace them with other seeds. When I joined, the vegetable garden was full of tomatoes. Now the dominant vegetable is the Ladies Finger(Okra). Some pictures that I clicked recently.

Looks very much like the Hibiscus while it is opening

Radish(Absolutely beautiful foliage)
Close up of the radish growth(I think almost ready for harvest)
Beans
Pomegranate(I am growing this at home too), check it out
Another variety of ladies finger(leaves are much thinner, may be better for container gardening)
What is this one? Any ideas?

Wow, so nice to have a sprawling garden like this! The last one looks like a guava plant.
Hi Blur Ting,
Thanks for visiting. It is actually about a few hundred sq ft only. Also it is in my office not mine :(. But always nice to see in the afternoons when I go out for a walk.
Woww! veggie garden at office?!thats splendid!! East Blore? anywhere on the Sarjapur-Outer ring road??
the last one is definitely a young guava plant. and a small correction - the close up shot u've presented is actually that of capsicum, not beans :)
im a huge capsicum fan, can't stand it being misrepresented :)
have been following ur posts regularly, quite interesting - esp ur easy-maintenance gardening!
Hi GoodEarth,
Old Madras Road.
Thanks for the catch. I went down and double checked. My bad... I have updated it in my blog. I also follow your blog on reader. Have the tomatoes(accidental ones) fruited..
Loved going through the pics of the office veggie garden. Wow, the okra looks great. And I find the blooms so pretty. For lack of space I'm into container gardening too but oh....to have space like that would be a blessing!
Hi Kanak,
I would love to have a big plot of land where I can grow the veggies too. I am trying out some container vegetables now. Will update once I get some harvest.
Hi, I have invited you for "The 10 Things I Love To Do" Game. Do visit My Sunny Happy Garden blog to proceed on this game. Enjoy!
Hi, I am growing radish too. But never seem to know when is the time to harvest. How do you tell that it's time to harvest a radish? Would you know?
J.C.,
Still learning to grow vegetables in containers. Not been very successful yet. Not sure when to harvest radishes.
