Trying a simple abd lazy compost solution..

Had a 1m pipe I was planning to use for hydroponics that I gave up and decided to try a lazy man's compost solution.

Made a lot of holes in the first 20cm of it and pushed it into a pot I used to have a tomato plant in. Placed some mints around it and put a small pot on top to work as the cover.

Whenever I have some #vegetables left over, I put them in the pipe and I'm expecting to have good compost in it by the summer as the worms in the pot can go in an out of the holes, eating the vegetable and turn it to fertilizer.

At the same time, I am going to have unlimited minteto have for tea or salad.
I may cover and paint the pipe, or emayeb cover ot with some wood I saved from orange boxes.

Sorry not a very good picture, but I think I have managed to cross pollinate my Habanero and Serrano peppers.

I have a hydroponic set-up in the dining room by the window since 2021, it is pretty big with 3 peppers and one flower plants.

The only problem os that is have to hand pollinate it.

I usually use a dedicated qtils for each plant, but I think I used one on the #habanero plant on the #balcony and suddenly I have a habanero looking pepper on my indoor #Serranoe hydroponic pepper plant.

It will be interesting to see how it grows and how spicy ot will get.

This is a plant that started a couple of month ago after the other cucumber plant died. I'm not sure if it's the same plant or the second seed I planted in there.

But it's getting bigger every day, now it is over 2m tall and has lots of flowers. And to my surprise, quiet a few cucumbers as well.

I just hope it stays alive and produces until my kids come for the visit during the holidays.

Found an uninvited guest on my Iranian basil plant. Have to look for others because it's my only surviving plants from the summer

(It's called Reyhan, ریحان it's a special, very aromatic type of basil used in west Asia, mostly with Kebab). It als can be used as easing the itchiness of mosquito bites.

I know I am crazy, but couldn't help myself!

Last week we had a pretty heavy wind and rain storm that broke a few of the plants/trees at the park next door. One of them is the large beautiful tree with gorgeous white flowers that lost one of it's branches.

Today I asked the gardener if I could take it and he said OK and wanted to help me cut it, but I had Mellie with me and couldn't carry it with me, so I went back in the afternoon, cut it off from the tree (it was hanging and barely connected to the tree), remove about 10-12 of the leaves and then wrapped it together and put it in a bag I brought with me.

I will send more pictures of it at home, but it ended up being a bigger challenge that I expected and it is MUCH too big for my littler balcony. But if I am lucky and manage to get it rooted, it is going to be an amazing addition for my future house.

I have so much jalapenos, don't know what to do with them

I love growing #peppers, but don't eat them much. My #jalapeno peppers is thriving since I replanted it into a 10L soil bag with fresh fertilizer. I have already picked some 10-12 of them already and have twice as many on this plant.

Have to learn how to pickle/ferment them.
