We too have a huge garden with fruit trees and veggies, roses, jasmine, lillies and native shrubs. Shrubs and plants like used coffee grounds and used tea as well. You can get big bags of used coffee for free from Starbucks or Seattle's Best cafe. You can dry the coffee and put it for the plants. Hi Indira,

Saw your garden pictures. Nicely planned. We live in Houston. Me and my husband love gardening. We have all kinds of Indian plants in our back yard. You can buy guava plants in Houston. They do really good in Houston weather. Ours is 3yr old plant and last summer it gave 300 to 400 fruit! Just thought may be you would like to plant one. I have 2 types of banana plants from India (koora arati and Karpoora arati). I will be glad to share my plants with you. Let me know if you need any. Hi Indira! Saw your garden pictures.

I'm a bit envious as I have to wait another month or so in Boston before I plant anything in my raised bed (third year in a row!), though I have started seedlings indoors. :) One good rule of raised bed gardening is to plant what you like to eat. Also, a bit of integrated pest management is good, as well as planting companion vegetables. I usually grow a basil plant next to my tomato plants as it helps keep pests away from tomatoes. Marigold and zinnias (or similar flowers) on the borders of the raised bed ensure that bees and other friends keep visiting and pollinating. By the way, having a compost bin or a compost pile goes well with gardening - it turns organic matter into black gold for next year. Looking forward to reading about your gardening experience and sharing notes. Indira, congratulations on the “new” blog and welcome to raised bed gardening.
