A couple of days back @riverflows made a post asking us to show our gardens in this month of June. You may check on that post here It's June & Time for Showing Off Your Gardens!. I was not intending to make my garden post, but then my friend @taliakerch made Her's and I was also motivated to make mine with whatever I have in my garden at this point of time.
In the west the weather has been getting better from the extreme winters, in the east the winter is setting in and, in my region, Middle East the temperature is now soaring to 45 degrees and it can go up to 50 also in the next 2 months. Maintaining gardens in this time is the most challenging job. I have to shift the position of my plants in this season, to avoid getting them too much exposed to heat. Luckily, I have 2 balconies where on 1 there is direct sunlight till midafternoon and the other one only gets the morning sun for around 2 hours and then there is shade on that part. I move most of my plants in that part so that they do not damage due to extreme heat. But the big pots are not possible for me to move, so they rest where they are.
Even my indoor plants do get impacted in this season. I have to take good care of them to keep them fresh and growing. Specially for these months, what I do is, I soak all the consumed fruit peels in water, leave them for a couple of days and then put that water in the plants, it acts as a good fertilizer for the plants since it is rich in potassium. That's how my plants sustain this season.
Here are some pictures from my garden indoor and outdoor in this month.
I had a big Basil plant growing in the garden, but in the last 6 months it started withering out and while I was away for 2 weeks, when I returned back, I saw my plant dead. The care taker did not take good care, nothing I could do about it, but I was feeling sad. The good part is that the old plant seeds that withered and fell out in the pot itself started growing the new plant. And here is my new Basil plant. The old one was very big but it had become scanty. This one is growing healthy so far and I am happy about it.
The desert rose, a month back was blooming with flower. All the flowers are gone. There's a Bee Hive growing on it which I mentioned earlier also in one of my blogs, that I got honey removed from it. Probably mid-July I will again remove it as the Hive is growing big. This plant I cannot move anywhere because it's very big and heavy and also because of the Hive, I do not want to disturb it.
Here is the Bee Hive. What I like about my Hive is that it's forming up in Heart shape. From the beginning it has been like that. Even the second time when it was set back again gradually the hive took the shape of the heart.
And my ever green abundance of Aloes, which I make a lot of use in my skin and hair care. There are 2 more in another corner. I need them lots.
As of now no vegetable is growing in my garden. I plant to be in India for the whole month of Aug so at this point of time I do not want to add anything new to my garden. By the time I am back in mid sept, the weather also will be a little better and then I can plant some veggies.
That's it from my outdoor garden. I will soon share with you all my indoor garden as well.
Thank you for visiting my blog. 👼🏻👼🏻💖💖🌹🌺🌸
