Dear Paint, love the way you do that rainbow!

'tis the story of five mud pots that lived in a corner of home, and needed some Color!

Out came my acrylic paints ...

Did a deep blue on two of 'em

With a white twig on one.

Merged blues, white and green on another ...

Popped out one dirty fellow with a yellow...

Gave the fifth a worn out look, as if the blue-green-pink pattern inside was washed away with many years of the dark brown.

Up they perched on my ledge, 

Along with a painting of mine.

Go, Show off yourselves to all, 

The shapes and colours of thine!

What is your critique, and pick-of-the-lot?

3 Basic Tips for Every Gardening Beginner

Here are 3 Basic Tips for Every Gardening Beginner, that I have learnt from my mistakes.

- Have faith in plants! They may wither if they aren't given water for a few days, but if they have roots, they spring back to life when the watering - manuring routine continues. So never throw any away if you see them drooping and withered.

- 1/3 white sand + 1/3 red mud + 1/3 manure = pot mix that always works! Add to this some tender loving care and ample water, of course.

- Never ignore pest control. Try going the natural way: boil tobacco leaves and lime paste in water. Strain it and spray the water on the plants every four months.

Do write in if you have found these to work.
