A NEW LIFE IN THE BACK YARD

Went home and back to the home garden...
Do all garden chores.
Doing so many efforts with the ruin of the garden, mostly in the roof garden.
Grounding... yeah...Moving lots of pots from the roof garden in to the backyard.
Here in the back yard, we can watering the plants easily.
Last three weeks, we dug and preparing the raised bed. 
Sowing seeds  and planting so many seedlings on the raised bed.
Repaired the ruins of the garden...
Looks like a new life here...


Long yard bean looks growing slowly on the A-trellis.


Two varieties of egg plants growing side by side.
Lettuces from self seedlings that we found on the neglected pot are growing in the rows among the eggplants.
Rows of  garlic chives on the pots on the edge of the raised bed.
We had to re-potting the garlic chives before.
Such a hard work...


Bountiful seedling of zinnia, marigold and cosmos under the A-trellis.
I have no idea, where I should plant them... hmmm...


Row of strawberry plants in pots on the edge of the bed.
Red amaranth growing happily here.
Row of Kankung, and basil under the A-trellis for cucumber vines.


A space for recovery the ruins of roses and angelonias.


A spot of self seedling tomatoes on the raised bed.


Rows of kangkung (Ipomea aquatica) looks so poor...
and some baby of cucumber plants are growing among the row.



Lots of okra seedlings under the sweet potato leaves.
Self seedlings...


Loofah vine is climbing on the wall.
Red beans are growing so happy with green onions.
Mint is growing wildly here.
Again... row of garlic chives in the pots.


Hot chilies, celery, and okra

 

A new row of roses...
Immigrants from the roof garden...

 

 Blooms from the ruins...


Finding beautiful thing...


Makes me so happy...


Vibrant color...



A bed of long peppers and green onions.
We can find two citrus and some pots of roses above the compost bin.


A rack of pelargoniums...
Again... recovering the ruins.



Bloom from the ruin...
Hoping they will grow happily here.
And I have to move more of pots from the roof garden soon, or we will find the ruins of the plants.

ROSE TIME : RED AND WHITE

Back to the real life...
After long time I followed leadership course for about four months, finally I could back to our home garden.
Back to the dirt and the smell of soil.
We are in dry season right now.
The neglected garden have dried and some of the plants have died, caused by drought.

 

Such a shame, some of my roses have died...
I'm lucky that some of them still growing and blooming.



Hoping we will have nice weather next.

MISSING THE BROWN ORCHID

Since I have been really busy,  especially during the leadership course, my garden is really neglected.
I've missing the blooming time of my orchids, especially my newest collection.
A terrestrial orchid with brown flower.
I bought it on January this year.
A stalk of flower buds came soon.
And on April 12,  the first flower was blooming.
I was so happy...








The full bloom was on April  27.






But now all of the bloom have already withered and fallen on to the ground.
Whatever,  I could enjoy little time with them.
Thanks GOD.

ROCKY... A VOLUNTEER PUMPKIN

Finding an interesting thing in the backyard this week.
A mini pumpkin is hanging on the A stalk trellis.
I'm sure it came from self seedling.
This season I have not sown any pumpkin seeds.
But there are two pumpkin plants in our garden this season.
I'm sure it's Rocky, a variety of mini pumpkin.
I like the texture of the skin.
The one and only...
Hoping it will be safe untill it get ripen

BLOOMING ON THE BACK YARD

It's seem time flies so fast.
I have been so busy since the early of March.
The course made my time looks so narrow...  Just limited time to do so many garden chores.
So... I have missed so many beautiful moment in my garden last two months.
Look... Brick wall on the backyard looks so different.
A dendribium clump is showing me its beautiful spike that full of color.
This is the first bloom for this clump.
Such a shame,  I couldn't take any close up pictures.
Lets enjoy the beauty.
