  1. My one and only pumpkin.

    Not as big as expected, but cute little one.

    My daughter took the picture and her light filter is terrible.

    Going to roast the seeds and compost the rest.

  2. It's the end of the summer and I'm kind of just letting the garden go wild while I wait for the vines of the potatoes to die off so I can harvest those.

    The vertical zucchinis were a surprise first time hit this year, although only one plant actually produced zucchinis and it was small to medium size. The storm knocking over one of the planters did cost me some basil and chamomile and lettuce, but the chamomile wasn't actually planted, it was a surprise from last year, and I also wasn't harvesting it. Same for the lettuce. It's easy to grow but I just don't cut it often enough to keep it from bolting. The bell peppers never got past their early stages, and I think I have the morning glories to thank for that. Just one planter of only morning glories next year.

    I think I want to see about more fruit vegetable options that'll fit in the stacking planters for next season

  3. First bonus tomato! I didn't even plant tomatoes, these were free seedlings I picked up over the summer 😂🍅

  4. I think I should get the tomato cages for the potatoes as well. They're going more wild than the zucchini are.

  5. Biggest harvest of habanero peppers from one plant on the balcony.

    The heatwave seems to be working magic for my pepper plants, specially the habaneros.

    The plant is full of flowers and small fruits and I picked these from it today to dry and use in cooking later.

  6. The heat is killing my plants. None of my tomatoes blooming and I'm picking up the tomatoes that are rip.

    Most of the larger tomato plants have died and only the cherry tomatoes and these pointy ones survived the heat.

    The black tomato plant is not doing so well either. I'm afraid, I won't have any plants left by the end of July if the heatwave doesn't end.

  7. It's my lucky day.


    Received my 100L mix of #perlites and #vermiculite I bought from a guy online for 20 euros.

    I feel silly because it's another large item I have to move.

    I know I'm crazy, but couldn't say no.

  8. Tried to go to sleep early, and instead ended up waking up at 2AM.


    Decided to do some quiet garden work so I picked up the failed attempt to grow #garlic hydroponically.

    It grew pretty good as long as just the roots were in water, but when I planted the bulbs in #vermiculite and placed them on one of the holes of #IKEA #Växer, they stopped growing after a while and the stems turned dryand rotten.

    I am going to plant these in soil outside to see if I get them to grow leaves again.

  9. One of my #Jalapeno peppers is about 90cm tall.


    Remember it was full of #aphids and was afraid it would die.
    Cleaned it up and trimmed it to the bare minimum and been feeding it organic #fertilizer and 1L of water every day.

    It is full of #flowers and already picked about 20 peppers from if. It is my most successful plant in a long time. Specially since it got a new pot filled with old soil mixed with #vermiculite and compost.
