OK, this photo will not win any awards, but it's the best I could do the other day. One of my succulents is throwing a pretty pink flower.What the photo does not show is that the flower's stem is about 12 inches long. I have no idea what this succulent is called.
I also have four (count 'em, four!) Roma tomatoes red and ready for harvest. I even bought some canned Mandarin oranges today so I can make a glorious salad.
I still have to buy some seeds so I can grow some snow peas this Winter.
Do you have a "balcony garden"? Or perhaps a real garden?
How does your garden grow?
Heh. Do you like my Avatar? Poor Dora!

I do not have a garden in the rental property. I like the avatar of Dora The Explorer.

The flower is such a pretty colour. We have some more of our tomatoes ripening in the garden since we have been away. I’m looking forward to picking those next week.
I did start thinking about what to grow next year but I haven’t decided yet.

That's a lovely flower. I just have my flower garden which looks kind of sad. Why Dora?

I have a few tomatoes in a container and have enjoyed the ones that did not split from the rain at the wrong time.

How lovely. I don't have a balcony garden but do have a front step. I used to come out of the apartment about 7a. to get to work. I would say hello and good morning to the morning glory that grew in the planter there. She was lovely. Sort of a periwinkle blue color.

Nice one! I will take a photo of my mom's plant later and upload it in one of my post.
