Terrace gardening

Harinee Kannan, Grade 6

I had many fruits and veggies grown in my home garden, few monkeys visited my terrace and then had a good feast with them. So unfortunately I could not take the fruits and vegetables which were grown in the plants.

Note : Birds or even monkeys may have brought in the touch-me-not seeds to the garden. It’s a good thing to have as a live mulch, and the chilli plant will grow taller than the touch-me-not, which is a ground cover, without affecting each other — in fact they will collaborate and do better together.

Hanging old/ broken CDs and wind chimes will help keep the monkeys away.
