Home-made, home-grown!

Last year our garden was a catastrophe, and our first avocado tree died suddenly. I mean it wasn’t that sudden. I remember I dropped the pot and I had to replant the avocado. Since that day the tree wasn’t doing well and, it died at the end.

This year my avocado looks AWESOME!!! I planted two of them. Avocado trees to have fruits need to be plant in two. Our neighbour tree is 5 years old and he has never have a fruit. He’s got a single tree.

We’ve got a tiny tomatoes 🙂 Yeay. This plant is a year old, and it survived the winter. We didn’t replanted it or anything. It’d spent all winter outside and it looks like we’re going to have a few tomatoes this year. My husband got totally new plant, and he’s practising with it a bucket gardening 🙂 AND he is making his own soil. What means we recycle our food waste, and sometimes I get “yelled” at because he notices that I didn’t throw away something that should have gone to the recycle bin. At the end he digs it out from the trash can, and we move on 🙂 It’s really funny!!!

We’ve got those worms for about 2 years and I didn’t see a cup of good for use soil, but he is a stuborn creature, and he loves his worms. So… let it be 🙂

My yellow zucchini is not doing so well, and I think it’s gonna die. I know, I know, I’m not the most optimistic person on the world… but I killed almost all my herbs so far. Only basil is left, still alive, and we both mint a few days ago. Will see how that will work. I didn’t kill them intentionally, I just don’t know what went wrong with them. Will try next year.

My dream is to start window farming. I tried once, but I couldn’t make holes in the bottom of the plastic bottles and I gave up… !!! Grrr…

Our collection of succulents is growing 🙂 Yeah! Someday we are going to have a huge succulent garden. My husband says that I gave him the passion for growing and collecting succulents. Awesome 🙂

This is just a small part of what we have.We’ve got more at the house, and a few more on the patio!

And Finally something home-made, not home-grown 🙂
