Some photos from my gardening diary in the last few weeks…
I found my first female flower, complete with a tiiiny little round zucchini on the bottom, this week. Today it opened (and got some pollen carried to it by me… I’m such a pervert).
There are two more lined up what I can see on that plant. The others have only male flowers yet, but look how many of them!
From the end of April:
And how the zucchini looked when I first repotted them.
Could this eally be the tiny physalis that I didn’t think would even survive?
It flowered this weekend, but I only noticed it after the fact. The bell peppers also had one or two blossoms. The chilies havebeen putting out lovely green chilies regularly now, though they aren’t especially strong :( I wonder if they’ll get stronger as they ripen.
The tomatoes are also steadily growing, though they aren’t flowering yet. I think I need to re-pot them again:
And for the end, a picture of my thyme that I liked.
It’s great how your veggies are doing their best!
Zucchini’s, I would love to have those… But I only own a balcony that’s -at the moment- filled with tomato plants. I grew too many so I had to give most of them away and also did some guerilla gardening with the ones that were left (http://www.guerrillagardening.org/).
My basil isn’t growing anymore so I guess it’s re-potting time for them as well.
I’m looking forward to seeing your homegrown veggies appearing in your bentos! :)
I don’t even have a balcony – those are growing on a table on my windowsill. It is a big table and a place with lots of light from two sides (south and west) though.
I also grew too many – I really have to do something about them. Was pondering guerilla gardening but it’s too cold up here in Sweden, I fear. So my BF’s mom wil just get a few…
