    Hi Ubellah!
    Thank you for the compliments. Yup at 1st me to had the same tought in my mind. The extreme hot weather and cold winter in UAE are really challenging for gardeners. Then It crossed my mind why not give it a try . So I started by buying some tomato seeds from Carrefour and tried as this plants is considered very easy to take care. At present it is winter season in UAE and I do very less watering and occasionally I feed them with the water I use to wash rice and fish. Chopped banana peels does wonders for the jasmine plant. My hubby did challenged me... he said that my small jasmine plants will take ages to flower or might not be it flowering at all and it proves the other way around. Now my darling husband just smiles each time I pull him over to my garden and proudly showed him the tiny blooms of jasmine to him.:)
