Good luck with your project. Would suggest removing the desi suckers from the grafted rose plant. They tend to grow back quickly and one has to keep an eye on them.

Asslamu alaikum warahmatullah!!

I so wanted to update my post on almost daily basis but I had an exam. So couldn't even give enough time to my plants. :(
But here I am now with some more updates..

These are my cute little tomatoes which are getting red & redder with each passing day & I always feel overjoyed when I look at them. The feeling is heavenly when you cook what you sow. :D

Your garden bed(kyaari) and lawn(grass) should have concrete or brick separator/divider like these otherwise grass will invade garden beds and will needlessly keep your maali busy and It would also give your garden layout a finer and cleaner look.

The pot of that palm at the entrance looks nice but honestly the red colour is too dull and doesn't look good(maybe some people prefer dull colour but I don't). You could repaint it. First give it a coat of primer then red synthetic enamel. It will give a brighter and glossier finish. Although I have these palms as well but these days am fan of chinese fan palm.

WOW.. The ideas are ZABARDAST I must say. Honsetly speaking I've been thinking about this issue quite a lot & have been surfing my brain for ideas. Your post has literally made my day. Jazak Allahu khair.

I was also thinking about placing little bamboo-shaped tiles as separator. I don't have any picture for this one. What do you say about this?! :?

Any rock/tile/paver/brick can be used as separator as long as it is deep enough to keep grass roots at bay. My grass separator goes approx 4 inch deep and works just fine.

Amm.. Point noted. We went for the "Chilli Red" color actually. But I guess the painter just did a single coat and also whenever we water them even a little spillage of soil makes them look dirty. :(

But definitely I'm gonna think about giving them a shiny look. Jazak Allahu khayr! :)
