Middle of May first vines to grow also bit dill also growing. These are in our balcony

 

 

 

 

Paprika and Tomato wait that weather get little bit more warm. Some nights we had to move plants inside.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Girlfriend got one more orchid for birthday present

 

 

We did gave name Helmi (Pearl). We did bought her in Helmikuu (February) one year from our first date's. Its been bit tricky sometimes. I dont know if it get too dry because some leaf get bit brown sometimes and flowers not live long. We do give her showers once or twice per week and give her "food" (fertilizer) time to time. Maybe we give her too much water? Idk, some keep it in washroom all the time, but our is so small, that we cant keep her in washroom all the time. We not give her a lot sun light. We also do spray water to leafs regulary

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Vines, dill and Paprika grow fast. Only 5 day from last balcony garden and its look so much different.

 

 

More tomatos and Paprika waiting to be put in bigger pot

 

 

 

 

 

I am so bad with flower names. These are so beatiful flowers tho and waiting to be put bigger pot.

 

 

 

We had to put sheet to block direct sun light, because some flowers was dying on heat and it was just end of May. We get evening light to our balcony and it can easily be 30-50c in our balcony then.

 

 

 

 

 

End of the May we finally was able to start our outside garden and put potatos to grow. My uncle gave us small plot from his yard. His friend did help us and turn land with his tracktor. He is farmer so he had all the tools to put potatos under the ground, without hard work. We wouldnt been able to do potatos field without my uncle and his friend helping us.

 

 

 

 

After ten days we see potatos growning already

 

 

 

 

 

 Paprika looking good already (mid June)

 

 

 

 

 

 

Latest foto of our potato field. There is Paprika too, but soil too hard and they havent grown, but making some flowers tho.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here how its look today in our balcony. I had photo of our balcony garden before we did take dills out and when Lily had full flowers, but cant find those photos. This is our first year when we do our balcony garden and its been bit tricky, sometimes there is +35c in our balcony and we been giving water when needed, but look like some Paprikas flowers are dying and Tomatos not making flowers, same with vines, they not make  flowers. Maybe soil is too rich. We not give up yet, at least we got dill this year and hopefully we get a lot potatos too.
