2019-Backyard-2 - June - Flowers n some misc

Soon for a second post but I believe I am ready with next batch of pictures. These were taken in June 2019. Some tomato seedlings Started coming (so many in fact), from last year crop (either because of some tomatos fell down and some because of my dear squirrels I guess - god.... please help my garden). I will start with the pic of seedling then go over to the flowers of June. 

Flowers - Asiatic lillies - Orange color

  

 Gangabayalu n basil n oregano. Usually the greens or herbs sometimes get wasted in my home. This time I am determined that either I will freeze the herbs as recommended for them to last long or I will use fresh but no wastage. Let's see how it goes....

     

 My grape wine coming back. I thought I had so many of the grapes on the vine but I think I might have to do something for all of them to stay.

This is the first year I wanted to start on plumeria's and I found a deal on Valentine's day. Its slowly coming/growing/hibernating. The roots did not grow fully yet. I can see that the leaves are starting to come still. I will post the pics of latest in next post. Have a fun weekend and Happy Gardening!!

DIY - Flower vase paint - using Spray paint

Initially I saw one of the article and it said to paint a gold band and I did. I presented it to my cousin but I was not satisfied with the work. I have been looking for alternative and I found spray paint which I got for some other reason I believe. I said why not experiment. So I added the tape to the vase. However the tape I used problem is there is still little seaping in. Not sure how to correct it yet. However here are the results. Let me know if you think they are good to use. 

The final output

I had 3 different varieties of jasmines and I lost 2 of them during winter. 1 survived, one is recovering slowly and coming up with the weather. the last one, I am still waiting on it.

2017-Backyard plants - 3

My last post (too much delayed) for 2017 summer backyard returns. First time ever I got Methi (Fenugreek ) in my backyard. I also had first time Turai/beerakaya/bottle gourd. It is a wonderful feeling to have organic vegetables right in backyard and have fresh food items made from them.

First time yield of fresh turai -

Only yield of Dosakaya/Yellow cucumber as the total creeper was killed by the squirrel's this time:
