    Dear Krithika
    I have bought all my rose bushes as plants..available everywhere really... lowes, home depot, walmart, online etc..
    find the one you like and buy.. Hybrid type roses will grow taller to 4-5 ft or so and produce mainly one rose per stem.. floribunda type roses produce cluster.. hope this helps:)

    Great going, AC!

    Are those okra or tomato seedlings?

    HI chithra or others,

    For growing methi leaves, once one sets of plants growth is done, we have to plant the seeds again. Have seen in the shops with root, still, have this doubt? And how about dhania plant, just plucking out the leaves is enough? Will it be able to grow up more from the empty stem?

    Thanks.

    Hi Ami:

    AC is right. You do need to start from seeds again for dhania. It is mainly because they do not have strong stem system to continue growth.

    But pinching pudina, rosemary and thyme herbs makes them grow bushy.

    Hi Ami
    I tried throwing the dhaniya seeds but every time the birds would come and clean them up. So I got a cilantro plant from Home depot and is doing very well. As needed I just pluck the leaves. Regarding Pudina too, I have done this. It spreads rapidly and never dies.
