Mom was in town a few days ago and visited her friend for lunch before coming over.
The friend gave us some veggies from her garden to share ...
Beans / peas / carrots / cherry tomatoes & zucchini.
Shoutout to Nancy.

Two of my three apple tress are giving me a harvest this year. The one that isn't is older than the other two, so that is a little concerning
This one, has so many that I had to setup another stake cause it was bent over.
This one standing tall, giving a decent enough harvest

Niiiice. I haven't bothered with apple trees in a long time. I had some, but couldn't keep the worms out of them so I axed them. Had better luck with grapes and berry fruit.Two of my three apple tress are giving me a harvest this year. The one that isn't is older than the other two, so that is a little concerning

We used to have a grape vine back in Detroit (Southfield) back in the day. And now that you mention worms I need to spray them to keep bugs off
Got an update
I had no issue gettin my clones to root before and this past season they have all dried up
Our city water is horrible, this heat and little rain is even worse, my roses are gettin choked smh
I used distilled water and finally my babies rooted, the mother kush has held on for some time.
Had to use more hydroguard, I’ll start setting water aside with the air stones running a full day
I’ll add a large filter to the water connection in garage

This gardening work is WORK. One week missed sets me back repeatedly. I'll have to read up on best practices to level my lawn/gardening area, including which privacy trees to go with for different areas. Nevermind planting fruits and veggies just yet. In the meantime, I'm also indoors using the aerogarden. Props to all of you putting in the work and getting results.
Got a question for all got back into growing my own fruits and vegetables when I got my new privacy fence in 2019. Me and my neighbor been growing some nice size gradens but he received a notice saying he was growing to much and he was in violation of some city code he doesn't have a privacy fence like mine. Anyone ever heard of some shit like that before.
Nah, never heard of the city saying you can't grow too much. But I know some HOA's do stipulate how much space on a lot can be tilled or planted and where it can be in relation to the property. For instance, it can't be in the front yard, total more than 150sqft, certain distance from the neighbor, etc... I also think they stipulate what kinds of trees you can plant and ones you can’t.
Not in a HOA, we think we might have some karens and kevins in the neighborhood behind us

So my Hibiscus bushes are starting to bloom. The flowers only last a day so it is always a treat when I catch them
This is the first year for my Lily trees. No more than 3feet the first year, will get taller as time goes on
Climbing rose bush producing late in the summer
Couple of apples on one of my trees snapped the branch they were on so they're barely hanging on, but I don't want to pull them too early.

Speaking of Mexico ... if anyone's ever in Puerto Vallarta ... take the bus up to this place. Really peaceful way to spend an afternoon. One of the highlights is the restaurant up top. The view up there is excellent. Got some great panoramic shots & videoclips up there. Hummingbirds flying right up to you while you're at the table. Some parrots down below in the green space having their lunch about 50M away. Waiter making fresh salsa and / or guac' at the table. We went there in late-2017 and 2018, and then hit up Zihuatanejo in late-2019. Good food & just a chill way to spend the day, before heading back into the busier part of the city.
The bus ride's an adventure too. Really old buses each time ... and the drivers were super skilled as they were driving the hell out of them. Even on the bends and corners, lol.
Years later, I'm still sold off that view ... just great. So relaxing.
