Two4Tuesday: Dirty/Clean

From the dirty and mucky forest floor, a crop of clean and refreshing mushrooms grow ^_^

Join in the fun HERE!

my first ripe tomato!

Last month I posted the photo of my first tomato fruit here. It was small and green -- but now its big, red orange and ready for harvest! Can't believe that 1 month of nature's TLC will produce something as exquisite as my first ripe tomato :-) Can't wait to harvest the other tomatoes, and my carrots too! Mmm good!

the first sunflower!

After 90 days, my first sunflower finally bloomed! If you're wondering why it's small, its coz I planted it in a small pot to restrict its growth so that I can use it in our indoor garden.Ü In other garden news, my other sunflower plants are still budding. My marigolds are still blooming profusely. And my tomatoes all have fruits. Can't wait to harvest them! Yum!Ü

marigolds galore!

Don't my marigolds look lovely? Sigh.. Simply breathtaking! :-) This is the third batch of flowers I harvested from my 8 marigold plants. Some have sunny yellow flowers (my fave!) while others have bright orange & gold flowers. So what did I do with my marigold harvest? I arranged them into a bouquet & then I placed the finished product in a pretty crystal glass vase. Its now displayed in our bar :-)

Hi! Added more marigold pictures for you to enjoy! =) These are in our garden and I have to transplant them in bigger pots soon. Click to enlarge. They look gorgeous! Promise!

the 1st tomato!

In an earlier post i mentioned that im into gardening right now. Aside from flowering plants, i also plant vegetables. I have carrots, tomatoes & eggplants. Neat huh?? Im planning to add herbs soon.Ü Anyway i cant wait to harvest my veggies! More healthy food for dieting me! :-)

My Marigolds

Gardening has become 1 of my hobbies since my hiatus from the medical field. I grew flowering plants & vegetables from seeds. It was a hard going, with only 6 seeds germinating out of 10 that i plant.Ü Above is the 2nd batch of my marigolds that i 'harvested'. The 1st batch were mostly gold in color & very large, 3-4inches in diameter! Now i have smaller bright oranges & sunny yellows- love it more! :-)
