A full length photo of our garden in the backyard that myself and the neighbor are growing and taking care of.
We have: Brussel sprouts, cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage, hot peppers, bell peppers, onions, squash, zucchini, cucumbers, green beans, tomatoes, potatoes, watermelon and cantaloupe.
I can’t do indoor plants…it’s bonsai and outdoor shrubs/trees I even attempt. But my spouse seems to have a magic touch on these “Christmas Cactuses”. Her “secret” is to let them have a few months out in the garden every summer…and I sparingly water them and fertilize them with the rest of the bonsai.
They often look weak and lethargic by summers end…almost sun-beat…when I bring them in in the early fall. Then when they get into more subdued light and even temps they do this…every year!
Wow. My toot about soil bacteria and the human sense of smell seems to have been popular. Welcome new followers. I'm sorry but my normal toots are not as interesting.
I’m having a great time growing my own food. Now it’s time to try some greens I might have eaten, but certainly not heard off before. This is Red Frill Mustard. If you have tips about what dishes to put this in, let me know. I’m happy to hear about your experience.
I created a new emoji to celebrate that one of the two million Forget-Me-Not seeds I put into the ground two years ago has actually grown into a plant 😀 #emoji#greenthumb#plants#nature
