Overdue Post

It looked like the aster is going to have a bloom or two soon.

Carrot seedlings are also growing pretty well.

Kauka Wilder's bloom has past its prime.

 A couple of raab rapini seedlings do better than the rest.

The tomatoes don't seem to grow anymore and the leaves have turned yellow. I gotta up the fertilizer.

Desert rose.

French bean is growing a flower!

French lavender is also doing not bad albeit slow.

I have no issue on mints.

Ms. Odyssey uprooted one of my avocado seedlings.

Today's Pictorial Update

One Raab rapini seedling is growing faster than the rest.

The mints have no issue growing happily.

One carrot seedling is also growing faster than the rest - and it's been nipped by Coco -_-

Moving on to the florals, Kauka Wilder inflo drooped down and the blooms growing upwards.

The adenium never seemed to bloom to its fullest.

Ms. Hydrangea, as happy she can be,  has 4 bloomheads with one of them being blue.

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.

Harvest!

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.
