Look what I got.
It was hiding in the back behind all the new leaves.

Going to have lots and lots of cucumbers soon.
Thanks to my bee friends. I am going to have lots and lots of cucumbers this season.
I should have planted Armenian #cucumbers too, but I forgot.

My friend is back. Only comes when the sun goes down. It's so cute
It went into all the melon flowers and cucumber flowers on the balcony before it flew away. It's so fun watching it.

Oh happy day ....
They are a bit bitter.

Repotted my habanero peppers. I broke one of the branches but tried to patch it together. Hopefully it will be ok.
I read on the hot pepper group that it needs a 20L pot and can get really really big. But for now a tL pot is all I have space for.

Another successful story!
This was a branch of the hydroponic unit inside that I accidentally broke.
Removed all the leaves except the tiny ones on top and put it in a self watering 2L bottle filled with compost and old soil.
A few weeks later, it's now blooming and growing beautifully.
I don't think i need to move it any time soon. It can be a good present when I go and meet with my friends in Lyon.

My #cucumber is now taller than me, and spreading all over the #balcony, time to set up the mesh net with UV safe wires to have it spread.
The second one is growing slowly.

Comes in a few times per day.

Today's mini harvest

Another bunch of cherry tomatoes germinated from a dropped tomato from last year.
Feel bad throwing them away.

I really want to plant this, but have no space for it.
It's another type of cucumber I started and want to have, but I guess I should give it away to someone who enjoys it more.

Aaaah so excited, no more store bought cucumbers.
This is the largest one, I have over 20 growing. Wonder of I need toadd some fertilizer to the pot.
Setting up amesh network with wires so they can grow up and over our sitting area on the balcony. I might have to increase the amount of water I give it every day as the #cucumbers are getting bigger.
PS. Sorry it's hard to take good pictures with strong sun shining.

Have a lot of problems with cherry tomatoes in self watering planters.
I don't know what is happening. They are all starting to look like this one. I may change it then a larger pot to see if that helps solving the problem. It has a lot of tomatoes and don't want to lose it.

AI think this guy needs a new home.
Time to change it to a bigger pot. Amazing how well it's growing, I found it on the street in Antibes after dentist visit almost a year ago.

last year, I had to hand pollinate all my cucumber plants because I couldn't find any bees to do the job.
But this year, I have a lot of #bees of different types, even a chunky bumble bee visiting my #balcony every day and seems busy pollinating my cucumber and pepper plants.
I don't know what is the difference between this year and last year, but I am really enjoying it and already have some 20 baby #cucumbers on one plant.

### My mystery plant seems to be nothing but a cucumber plant I had forgotten about.
It has many tiny cucumbers growing and I have seen lots of tiny #bees and one bumble bee get in and out of the flowers.
Looking forward to taste the first #cucumber of 2024.

I had 2 onions that started sprouting last fall. I planted them in the soil bags of my cherry tomatoes and let them grow.
Over the past say 8 months, I had over 6 harvest of their leaves and today I pulled one of them out and saw a good size onion under the large stem of onion flowers.
The other one has 4 flowers and wondering of it has more onions as well. I will wait for that to mature so I can save the seeds!
