I don't get that many strawberries, but the ones I get are really delicious and have such beautiful shape.

This looks like a #strawberry super model of tiny size.

The free pots I found yesterday, are already in use and will be given away in the coming days...

It was time consuming, specially because I found some beetle leaves in the soil and had to go through each part of it thoroughly, found about 8 of them in the part of the compost I used to fill these pots.

My #bamboo is growing wild!

It's breaking the soil bag it was placed in and it's as tall as I am now.

I am going to put an add and see if anyone wants to have it. I can't take it with me when I move and I need the space as my tomatoes and cucumbers are getting big.

Sorry for the odd format of the image. Didn't want to include the messy parts of the balcony on the sides of this bag.

Last year, I took a cutting from a tree on the street and let it root in a pot at home.

It was attacked by aphids really badly earlier this year and I was afraid it would not bloom. But to my surprise, it has produced lovely flowers.

We had these in southern Iran where I was born, and their name is pretty funny "khar zahre" which literary means the poison of a donkey, or poisonous donkey.

They are supposed to deter mosquitoes. I hope it's true.

Going to take cuttings of white and red ones too so I have all the 3 colors for our future home.

PS. It's growing in a 5L water bottle turned into self watering planter.

one of the positive things about having Mellie is that I have to go out 3 times a day and this little bugger loves to explore different areas.

Today we went to another little park next to our apartment that she was refusing to enter before.

This used to be our kids #playground, right next door with play areas for kids, grass for football and plenty of tiny gravel roads to bike or scooter around.

The park have changed a bit. There are much much more #trees, #plants, bushes and #flowers from all around the world here.

This one caught my eyes. We have plenty of orange/yellow ones of them in the #park but this one is white and the plant is much much bigger.

It's really gorgeous.

I'm going to have a lot of what ever these are.

I guess the are Chinese watermelons, but not sure.

Waiting with excitement to see the results.

Having a dog getting me out and walk much more than before, så i am seeing new things aäö the time.

There was a small park behind pir apartment with lots of malberry trees. Used to go there with the kids to pick up fruits to eat them. But 2 years ago they cut all the beautiful trees out and were working on changing ot

I never walk on that street any more so I didn't see the changes, but they now have turned it into a small botanical garden, lots of exotic trees from around the world and this little thing for bees. It even have 2 drinkable water fountains that is a great thing during the summer when walking the dog.

I don't exactly know what these are, probably melon, but not sure. Today I saw the first male flower.

I'm hoping to see more and find out exactly what they are.

And most importantly, the q5L paint bucket is large enough for this plant

Today's harvest!

I think I picked up the garlic too early. But they smell so good and having problem with ugs so I rather pick them up than letting those buggers eating them.

Letting One of the leeks to bloom and wasn't expecting it to get that high.

It's almost 1m tall and starting to blossom. I have lots of seeds, but it doesn't hurt to have fresh organic seeds from my own garden to plant in the future.

First #habanero p#epper flowers on my only habanero plant.

It sure took the time for this plant to mature. Now it has a lot of flower buds and 2 flowers.

Put it on the balcony where I'm getting a lot of tiny bees flying around (they love the dill and onion flowers).

Picked 2 new cuttings to root and plant at home. These are gorgeous

I have now 2 red/Yellowish version of them, with these my collection will be much prettier

On of the very few plants I bought. It's a type of cucumber I don't have and it's already have a few flowers and one tiny cucumber.

It's growing in a 50L soil bag with mixed of old potting soil and last years compost. I am expecting it to grow a few meter tall and give me a lot of #cucumbers.
