Today, I am going to give you a new garden update. Let’s see what is happening!
Last week, the sun was shining, the whole week & it did wonderful things to my plants. Outside, on the street it was only 16°C & but in my walled garden it was 22°C. All of my garden plants & container plants grew bigger each day but this week, it has rained all week & all days long so I put my container plants inside my house, directly close by the stove & gave them much light & lots of love & caring of course! ;)
Outside in the sunshine:
My 2 Tiny Tim tomato plants!
My yellow pear apéritif sweet tomato plant & my red plum cherry tomato plant
My home-grown green courgettes plant!
My bigger fig tree, already producing big figs but still unripe!
My fig tree is producing already bigger figs, but they are still unripe. This is very early this year, but maybe because we have had a very mild Winter with no snow at all & with higher temperatures as normal. I will keep you all posted when they will be ripe. Normally, they are ripe in August-September! ;)
Inside in the house, when it is raining, all day, all week:
Here is my larger Pea-collection. I have grown this peas, the low-sort, named Kalife-peas for the very 1st time from scratch, from seeds. This is a sort of pea plant, that grows, maximum 60 cm high so it is great for growing into pots. I have sewn them on March, the 9th & some of them are already producing big pea pods. I started out with 20 mini plants & 5 didn’t survive at all. I learned everything from the web & from you-tube, gardening in containers. Normally, I put them outside in the morning sun & then, they go after glass for the rest of the day. Most of them do very well. Next year, I will put them, more closer together in even bigger pots & I will grow even more plants. They were grown from seed to edible pods in only 2 months time. They are great to grow early in Spring because they can’t stand too hot weather. You can grow them again in late August or in September.
I have also peas in the pods that still need lots of growing! Early stages yet! I will keep you all posted, okay?
My home-grown pumpkin plant!
I need to put it outside when the flowers will be opening but it is raining all week, non-stop, sigh! Otherwise, I will need to hand-pollinate them too! :)
So, I hope you enjoyed reading it all & see you all later, back in my container & normal garden! See you! :)
