GARDENING ON THE BALCONY : MARCH 2017

Our eastern balcony looks a bit different this month.
This is the view of our balcony this morning.

Some new plants here...

The row of Mini pakcoy white is still stunning.
Although some time got drought, cause we forgot to watering them.

I have moved the Siomak or lettuces 'Pointed Leaf' on to the floor.

Cause too much risk to keep them on the balcony wall.
They looks so fresh here.

Then I put new grown vegetables, 'Sawi Hijau' a kind of mustard.

Six pots of mini Pakcoy white looks so cute.

I also grow Sawi hijau on two gutters.

Looks so healthy, although some of them were chewed by the grasshoppers.

Three lettuces 'Butterhead' have already bolted.

I put them under  the gutter.

In each corner there's a pot of 'Queen of The Night' that bloomed last night.

These are the blossomed Ephypilum.
Not so special...

I hope they will grow better here...

EPHYPILLUM : FIRST FRUIT

Actually I have no idea when I see this kind of fruit.

As long as I grow my Wijaya Kusuma or Ephypillum, I have found hundreds of flowers on the three pot plants that I have, but have never formed fruit.

All flower are always wilted soon after blooming.

But this is for the first time I find an Ephypillum fruit.

It's a surprise.

I just let it get ripen on the 'leaf'.

I want to now how about it next.

It must be so interesting.

Reader, have you ever seen an Ephypillum fruit on your own garden?

Please share your experience.

Thank you for sharing.

NEGLECTED NEW COMERS

Last Saturday, plants that I've ordered were arrived.
I ordered so many plants from online nursery. 
This was for the first time I purchased from that nursery, that's a new online nursery.
I was really interested to the plants that on sale.
So various and lot of plants are new for me, mostly from sub tropical area.

It's also a trial for me on growing subtropical plants on my garden.
I ordered four varieties of iris, rosemary, reddish pink Hydrangea, fuchsia and red flowered Ephypillum.
All plant that I often see on my blogging friends.

Three days on shipping made the plants looked so tired.
Then I put all plants in watered pail to refresh them.
Purchasing plant by online nursery had so many risks, especially damage during the shipping and not all of nursery was reliable.

I was so busy this week, so couldn't grow these plants soon.
But now, all have already planted, and I hope they will grow so well on my garden.
Be healthy and be happy on my garden...
