Organic Gardening Progress 10/11 - Week 8

This is my Week 8 since I start tracking my gardening progress on this blog. I didn't take many pictures this week because there were not so many updates.

Your can see my progress week by week here

I see people on Instagram posting their huge crops and here I am have enough for one salad bowl. :)

It looks like I almost get same stuff week after week. My goji berry little bush starts producing little berries but mostly two or three at once. Sometimes birds would get it before me. 

This was my son's crop from a bean plant he planted. I added these beans to my veggie soup.

Finally I can see some baby zucchini on my plant

Zinnias are always so cheerful!

 Hopefully next week will be more interesting. Happy Gardening!

Organic Gardening Progress 10/4 - Week 7

We finally have such a beautiful weather here in Texas. 

This is my Week 7 since I start tracking my gardening progress on this blog.

Your can see my progress week by week here

I read about Aquaponic systems here, so I decided to use water from my son's little pond to water my plants at least once a week. 
Plus I keep adding scraps to my compost. Banana peels and coffee grounds go directly to the soil, as well as cooked chicken bones (I use hummer so they decompose faster).

Here are some photos and update for this week:

First lemon, more of sprouts, radish and greens for salad, mint and rose petals and hips for tea

Tomatoes keep forming, I guess soon I finally will have bunch of red tomatoes. :)

Cucumber has first flower 

Okra is about to bloom. This is my first time to grow okra. I've never even see how it grows before. :)

Broccoli

Papaya has fruit now!

Finally female flowers on zucchini!

Agggg we already deleted this wasp nest but they are creating a new one again.

Happy Gardening!

Organic Gardening Progress 9/27 - Week 6

This is my Week 6 since I started this blog on organic gardening progress.




Your can see my progress week by week here



This week we actually had more stuff to pick:

Parsley, arugula and kale

First almost red cherry tomato! :)

Radish

Sprouts

I was able to make fresh salad twice this week with greens from my garden, which was a progress!

Arugula, sprouts, radish, beet leaves

I think I figured out how to grow my sprouts. You can see I used an old container from salad greens with soil and keep it on a sunny window. So you can see the progress 

week 1

week 2 ready to eat

Updates in my garden:

More green tomatoes forming

Bell Pepper is getting bigger

Veggies in my main veggie bed start flowering and getting bigger. I picked arugula, radish and some beat leaves from here.

All Zucchinis keep flowering but still only male flowers... :(

This was my last week project. I planted cucumbers but then I've got strawberries in the mail, so I had to figure out where to plant them, so I added couple here too. :)

We had this cute visitor one night :)

Thanks for reading and happy gardening!

Organic Gardening Progress 9/20 - Week 5

You can see my previous weeks updates here. Not a long list of updates but slowly you can see some progress!

This week I planted more of salad greens, spinach and beet roots which are not pictured. 

The rest of my veggies beds looks better and better. I can't wait to start picking some of produce besides that we have now such as mint, hibiscus and rose petals for teas, I wrote about teas here, as well as kyle and parsley. Not much for now... :)

Tomatoes, radish, zucchini, okra, salad greens in this flower bed

This is my last week "new" veggie bed

Little tomatoes :) 

Zucchini is getting bigger and bigger but still only has male flowers... :( 

These guys grew a little since last week

Another Zucchini plant with male flowers! 

I digged this babies from my Sago palm. I am thinking to make one as a house plant and maybe gift to my friends the other two.

This is my no fence yard. 

This is how our yard looked when we bought the house (minus playground).

Thanks for reading and come back for next week updates. :)
