Welcome to my Hive Container Garden!
It has been awhile since I last posted about my potted lovelies.... The raspberries have grown and will soon all be red but the blackberries will take more time to become ripe. The latter was planted last year and it's pretty amazing that the berries are now coming out. I said in my last garden post that the black berries do not have thorns and that is fine as I prefer it better than the raspberries.
Below are the 2 bushes of the blackberries and raspberries. Both were planted in big containers to give them more space to grow. The raspberry bush had been a newbie extension of the bush I used to have in my old garden and I took this out of the mother plant and planted it here.
The Trellis
We got them from the Garden center nearby and had them installed after I coated them with a protective glaze. This year, I have 3 varieties of tomatoes and the trellis is such an idea so that the vines of the cukes could also climb upwards, this is afterall a vertical type of gardening
Other Green Vegetables and flowering plants
For this season, I planted 3 varieties of mild or sweet pepper. The last time I tried the Habaneros had been a big mistake but I did not realize that it was that "hot!" What the heck, it was burning as if my tongue had boiling water. So I got rid of the harvest and gave it to my neighbor, lol.
And so I have these two peppers which I need to harvest so that remaining flowers will eventually grow.
This cuke is called a snack cucumber locally, the variety is small and soft and is good for burgers or any other salads.
The potted geraniums were from last year, I was surprised that they started to have new leaves last March. Well, just have a look, the flowers are pretty in pink.
The lettuce variety below has brown patches and is called red oak leaf. I plan to plant new batches.
