The Thumb is Turning Green

My mints are growing ok.

Two more tomato flowers blooming.

 Threw in 3 shallots to grow in the french bean pot.

Aster.
 Kauka Wilder has bloomed but it's floppy. 

Plumeria jungle, from Coco's point of view. 

Raap rapini's slow growing. Perched on the railing are Odyssey's toys to dry.

The New Star of the Show

The first bud of Kauka Wilder bloomed today. :)


That aside, the tomato seems to be growing more flowers.

Hope these turn into fruit soon.

Harvested young ginger for cooking last evening. Fresh off the soil, it smells so good!

The Good, The Bad and The Busy

I have been very occupied that I'm neglecting my gardening - just doing the bare necessity; watering and conditioning the soil with Yates Uplift. My greens - arugula and mixed greens planter is totally dying. I will find time during the weekend to re-sow some seeds.
Let the pictures talk, ok?

Bali Hai Gold has starting to slow down.

Look forward to seeing Kauka Wilder again. Might be moving her to a new location though.


Was supposed to grow this for its yummy shoots but I was too busy to harvest so I suppose I will look forward to its pea pods! 

 French beans looking good!

Clockwise: Mints, carrot, lavender and french beans.

Moved the fiddle fig leaf plants to balcony -  it suffered sunburn :(

Gorgeous shade of pink - it looked more vivid in real life actually.

Hello desert rose!

Tomato flowers are dying off. I hope they turn fruit!

The blooms of the new Amaryllis has spent. Sad, its lifespan is too short.


Now.... what has been keeping me super busy and caused me to move all my indoor plants out to the balcony - a new puppy! Her name is Odyssey.

Too bad Coco isn't really fond of her playfulness.

Pictorial Update

Look forward to seeing the blooms again.

French beans - unsure if those were leaves or flower buds.

One of the french beans actually broke but it healed itself - note that node. 

One of the carrots are bigger than the rest.

Added spearmint (the bigger leaved) into my mint pot. I grew up eating spearmint - grandma's spearmint in egg drop soup is absolutely fantastic. The other two mints are unknown variety. 

 Super sugar snap pea shoots.

Bali Hai Gold.

Kauka Wilder.

 The new Amaryllis is a multi-petal and is in a gorgeous coral shade. It's heavy that I had to change the pot and has a stick to support. I like this one better as it doesn't have pollen like the other one.

Blooming Time

The new amaryllis is growing so well, it's blooming soon. 


The smaller bloom is drying up.

 Kauka wilder's inflo.

It seems like Bali Hai Gold might have another inflo growing.

Aster seedlings. The smallest one doesn't seem to look like an Aster.

Repotted the basil. Bought another pot of basil from the grocer. Note the difference in size and color.

Surprise! The bigger tomato plant grows a flower! Heavy feeding is in the order!
