How does your garden grow?

[sister herb]

Didn't expect to find this thread - so refreshing...
We have a small garden but we don't grow anything... YET !!

I am so inspired now by these pics

Thank you all !!

You are welcome. Own garden - even a little one - gives a lot of joy as well as a lot of work.

Also, the green color reduces levels of the stress hormone and if you are lucky, you can get some tomatoes too. ;D

Yes, we used to grow Basil, mint, tomatoes, onions, scallions in our garden 3 years ago. But we lost the whole crop when we went out on vacation and came back 3 weeks later. Since then, I've been very guilty of growing plants fearing that I might kill them inadvertently. But, nonetheless, I believe I am ready now

Aren´t they cute?

I cut a really pretty rose from a miniature rose bush. Does anyone have experience propagating roses from cuttings? I ran a google search and most articles recommend a rooting hormone, which I don't have. Tips please!

I found kind of advice for rooting:

Cinnamon as rooting agent

Cinnamon as a rooting agent is as useful as willow water or hormone rooting powder. A single application to the stem when you plant the cutting will stimulate root growth in almost every plant variety.

Give your cuttings a quick start with the help of cinnamon powder. Pour a spoonful onto a paper towel and roll damp stem ends in the cinnamon. Plant the stems in fresh potting soil. The cinnamon will encourage the stem to produce more stems, while helping to keep away the fungus that causes damping-off disease.

I have still few basils left, most of them I have harvested as weather has changed too cold for them:

Most of them I dry but today I also made some pesto.


Sunflowers:

No flowers with these ones yet:

Some random plants; I planted here those which didn´t fit to anywhere else places:

Asters and mints beside of the sunflowers.


And now, evening is coming to my garden:

At the yesterday and last night was heavy wind and it broke one "money maker" tomato. Seems that also the brances were heavy because of tomatoes.

1,5 kg tomatoes from one plant - a money maker really is the money maker.

Now I just need to wish they will turn to red inside.


Three more zucchinis are coming:

Sunflowers I sow beside of the wall have started to bloom:

There are yellow and red ones.

[monroe]

The garden looks really nice. Hope I would have a garden like that!

It´s a harvest time:

 

[colinberry1]

Well to get the best of your tomatoes only allow no more than 4 trusses to form, and pinch out all the laterals

 

[sister herb]

More shark fin melons today:

I will get about 30 kilos of those at this year.

Tomatoes have been indoors a week and some are turning red:

Tomato harvest will be over 10 kg total.

Amazing! I admire all the gardening skills.

Gardeners are happy people - and their neighbors get tomatoes too.


Well, my neighbors might get also some melons. ;D
