Garden

a quick 2nd post, Talia mentioned that I have been remiss in posting about one of my hobbies. Gardening. I am doing a lot of work to make an urban balcany garden in our appartement and I havent posted any pictures.

So here they are

My pride and joy grapefruit tree. I have had this baby for at least 5 years

A "Bo tree". A gift from my Mom a couple years ago. Still going strong

A new blackberry bush I planted this year. Still waiting for it to sprout from under ground

One of our 2 gooseberry plants. For some reason all the leaves died off. I'm hoping that its just working on developing roots

Some random types of wheat and oats and things. It was supposed to be for the cat but chase never liked to eat them

Golden raspberry

The other gooseberry, nice and leafy

My ginger plant I planted several weeks ago. Its growing quite nicely with a 2nd shoot coming up

Lemon tree. I've had this one for almost as long as the grapefruit tree, maybe 2 years less, but it just never grew uptil this year.Now its doing great.

Mango Tree. Planted last year

lichee tree. Also planted last year

All my plants in the living room. from left to right I have 4 cherry tomatoes in box 1, 4 chilli peppers in box 2, 4 full size tomatoes in box 3, 4 peppers in box 4, 4 more tomatoes in box 5, and 8 green onions in box 6. All at various stages of growing. Hoping to get a really nice crop in august

Talias money tree. Not technically mine but hey, its one of the plants in our place

Whats  a place without bamboo sticks. Interesting note, these arent technically bamboo as they arent in the grass family

We call this one wilty bush because he used to wilt every day I didnt water it. I have moved him and now he doesnt dry out as fast


Year 2 of my first cherry tomato. I just transplatend it into a new pot I made with my dad


All pine, no glue to hold it together. Just 2 screws and a strip of metal. Im eager to make more of these and make some for strawberry plants.

Our plants in the bedroom


Pineapple tree. I've had it for 3 years I think and I'm hoping this year it will produce fruit (have to put it in the sun)

Avocado tree

Scotch bonnet, or as we  call it, death chilli. I had to plant in in secret cause Talia hated them so much

My fist chlili pepper plant. Kind of scragally but still doing strong in year 2


2 different types of parse. Curly leaf and chilantro


My apple tree. I planted some seeds from an apple that I picked last October when my family went apple picking

Green onions, Planted several months ago, of the 5 only 3 survived

I have a total of 5 apricot trees. They are still in hibernation from the winter so most of their leaves are gone

Talias Cactus plants. There are actually 2 others on the other shelf. Interesting note. I am currently trying to save the yellow moon cactus' on the right. The stem suffered some kind of rot probably from over watering So I read up and am hoping that I will be able to save them. The small one in front is taken from the big one.
