Pictures

I have been having some problems with the website, and I am unable to add any photos at this time.  I believe it is a storage quota issue, but it's unclear where I have to go to free up space.  I have emailed Google for help with fixing the issue.

Sorry for the delay in posts.  Stay tuned!

Peppers outside

Here's a green bell pepper from the raised bed.
Growth rate is pretty slow in the fall for produce.

Another bell pepper plant that was given to me by a
coworker.  It's doing ok!

Bachelor's buttons

The tips of the bachelor's button leaves are silvery, fuzzy, and curly - maybe even wilted looking - I wonder if this is normal since this is my first go-around with bachelor's buttons.  It could also be a disease.


If you guys know why this is happening, please comment below.

I recently did a water change in the Aerogarden in hopes of improving these leaves.

Upside-down tomato

The spring upside-down tomato had very high yields!!  Remember, I didn't use the seed packet that came with it.  I used Burpee cherry tomato seeds.

This upside-down tomato, which I planted in September, has been growing slowly and I thought I may have to retire it soon.

But what's this??  Flowers?!

They ARE flowers!  This might make some tomatoes
after all. 
I took it inside for a day or so to protect it from temps in the low 40's.  Right after that was when I saw the flowers.  I wonder if the inside environment/darkness in the garge triggered it to flower?  Hmm..



The one in the raised bed is doing ok - no flowers yet
though.  It might not produce for this fall season.

In other news, the agave azul is doing nicely.
(Like the new privacy fence?)

And two of the azaleas from last year are still going, but
their growth rate is very slow.

November blossoms

Miniature rose

Bougainvillea

Bougainvillea.  Looks Christmasy
Marigold - the seeds were a gift from two little girls
in the family

Marigolds

A poinsettia from last year, carelessly planted in regular
sand.  It has thrived all year, even in the most extreme
heat.  Now it's turning red again for Christmas.
