Lazy Monday Morning

I may be sick today, but it doesn't mean I can't go out and enjoy the garden. 

yesterday the last of the worm juice and worm castings were used up. I wanted to wait until the heavy rains had passed. 


looks like our flowers are really blooming now. we have different shades of blues and purples. it's sad these flowers only last the day., but they keep on coming. 


the cucumbers are really poping now. 
I don't think we'll be able to cover them all with nylons! :)

 this guy didn't make it. the flowers seem to bloom one at a time. I think we were lucky a few weeks ago when one male flower was fading - I was able to pollinate them with my little paintbrush. we have another baby on the way, 


so we'll clip and save the male flower to pollinate her and hope for the best!


looks like the Brazilian Cherry seed decided to germinate and come out with a small thin plant., we had planted 3 seeds and so far two of them are growing. 


so if the Brazilian Cherry can grow... why not plant the Mame Sapote seed! Yvonne served this *fruit*? on Saturday night., a cross between a yam and an avacado. it was very tasty. So we planted that on Sunday  - let's see what happens in two weeks! :) (I also planted apple seeds from the Envy apple she served as well)


And finally before I go back inside and crash - picked a few pinto beans. Two of the plants were hanging low with the weight if these pods.
