This week on Plant Joy

My Ginger! Doesn't it look like a heart flower?
(ie the top looks like a heart, the bottom is the stem)


Moonflower buds hidden beneath a heart shaped leaf


Borage stem and a lot of dry leaves.


Basil


Garlic is growing so fast, it is probably 5 inches long now.

Some growth detected this week

Just thought I'd share with you my Chinese Lanterns. I planted these from seed 2 years ago. After I transplanted them to the outdoor garden they were not doing so well and I thought they died. Then this spring they popped up EVERYWHERE! And I realized they are killing all the other perennials so I had to pull them all out. But I saved some as decoration.


I've noticed significant growth in my Basil. They are growing their third set of leaves!


Borage, not doing so well. I keep telling my self to transplant, but I am so lazy to go buy soil.


Flower bud! My moonflower started to bud!


Weird, I wasn't expecting garlic for a long time, but here they are.


Just thought I'd take some pictures of the Jasmine flower in my house. They are starting to flower for the second time this year.

Ginger in a steamy container. I will have to remove the container soon, I hope it can survive in the cold weather.


Grass, yes, grass. I grew grass last summer and here is a picture of it.

Skip

Sorry to anyone who reads my blog. This week I have decided to skip pictures since there were no significant changes in the plants. They pretty much look the same as they did last week. I will post as soon as I see any major growth in the plants, ie moonflower bud!, Ginger grows too tall for the peanut can greenhouse, borage flower, garlic sprouts, basil (the ones I started from seed) grows taller than 5 cm...
