Garden Journal  - June 2019

Last Sunday's post was about my balcony garden - the little oasis in the concrete jungle.

Then I came across @simplymike's blog - 🌺 SteemIt Community Garden Journal Challenge - June 2019 (With Steem-Bounty) - a challenge for everyone who loves gardening.

So, I am entering for the first time into that challenge and I will keep on with updates each month.

But first if you missed my previous post here is the link
Sublimesunday in My Garden

Living in an appartment I am fortunate to have balcony big enough to turn it into a garden. However it would not be possible without the help of my hubby, who is doing a lot to keep it healthy. Flowers, herbs and fruit grow together there.

Yellow nasturtium continues to grow like mad. Obviously the seeds found the most favourable spot and it is better looking than last year.

Another nasturtium is growing from a different pot and I hope to be red in colour.

We put some of the pots on the railings and when it is scorching hot we took them away.

This is a flower that my hubby started from a seed in one pot. We split it into two pots to have enough space.
Not sure how it is called as the package of seeds was lost. Anyone can help me and tell me what it might be?

Let's move on and see how my dahlia is doing. After the first blossoms faded I am glad to see the new are coming.

Mint is always presenting, because it is so easy to grow and we love our mint sauce and mint tea. After my hubby picked most of the leaves, there is abundance of mint again.

We have two roots of tomato. My hubby once went to buy tomato from the market and returned with seedlings. Now they become big plant. Tomatoes are not ready yet to be picked, there are still some more to come up and I am happy to see them growing nicely.

Despite the pot is rather heavy my hubby is moving it around, so the plant to have the most of the sunshine.

Sadly all lemon blossoms were blown away and I am not sure if we will have lemons this year. I still keep on looking closely and hope for some.

I know I should prune the lemon tree before. Now I am not sure if it is advisable to do it. The sticks can help to stay upright.

At night the pots go either on the window shelf or on the ground. Thanks got the cat did not ruin them. But she always inspects what is going on.

That is all for now until the next time with more updates from the garden.

☀️ Have a wonderful day. ☀️

Thank you for visiting.
