Counting Life Forms in the Garden

Sadly, I do not live in a garden. I live in a second story apartment (or flat) with a wood balcony with nothing on it. There is nothing around the apartment but other apartments and cement.

We had a garden once but I didn't have the time count the different life forms living in there. I think it's best to just leave them there because it's for the best that they live there undisturbed.

Hi RB, you are very observant and also interested in nature.There is such a variety of life out there co existing with us, most of the time not disturbing us unless they feel threatened by us !I have a fairly large garden that has 3 mango trees,3 coconut trees, one jack fruit tree,one custard apple tree,2 papaya plants,one banana plant,one neem tree and scores of other plants both flowering and others and nearly 800 flower pots with different plants in them.We have many varieties of frogs,several types of creepy crawlies that suddenly spring out and shock you.There many birds nesting in the trees and I dont need an alarm in the morning to wake me since there is a riot out there.We also have many butterflies, a few bats,rats,bandicoots that keep destroying many of my plants when it is looking for food.We also have a family of rat snakes.They too shock us all by appearing suddenly...Sometime back we also had a huge Python taking a stroll in my garden - thankfully it was taken away by the forest department authorities and is in the snake park now...

Its good for you to have a garden. I am also planning to plant some vegetable here in our place. I am planning to plant bittergaurd, parsley, garlic and if possible I will also grow tomatoes. I think its a good way of deducting something on my grocery list at the same time eating organic vegies.
