Some plants from my garden

Am really in the mood to show off today

The weather was really nice yesterday.

So, I decided to spend some time with my plants. Picked myself a flower.

And hey, did I share this pic already? My three plump tomatoes at differing levels of ripening!

Conditions on the rooftop are more favorable to growing organic veggies. Like the gourds I grew here>

And some chillies. The plants are crammed up in a bucket, guess this is hindering their growth:

And it was only when I saw this bloom on the sweet potato plant yesterday that I came to know that, well, they do bloom for some reason

My first balsam blooms: red and white. Am looking for the pink variety now. I've never seem any other variety of Balsam around. I'm seriously contemplating experimenting in grafting and produce some new colour

I've got 3 types of Marigolds. Can't determine their names though. Any help>

1st marigold, smaller in size

This is a multi-layered one with some frills in the petals:

Frilliest kind:

I'll end here with a succulent no one was able to identify before Hope it catches someone's eyes this time and rings a bell in his/her mind. It was all red when I brought it home but with time, some green and brown colors have taken over the 'leaves'- an indication that I am doing something wrong. Could it be a surplus of sunlight, I wonder!

Very nice. Your marigolds look like orange petite, Queen Sophia and Crackerjack. But there is so many different ones now, hard to tell.

 

The names themselves sound pretty, Donna

 

Loved all the photos and that first one really set the mood. Gorgeous.
I was going to say that your Marigolds looked like the Crackerjack one. But mine are TALL... over 3 feet.

 

all are very very very beautiful :-D

 

Your veggies and blooms all look great! Sorry I can't help you with any names.

 

Nice to see your flower and veg. Quite nice foto's.

 

Thanks Cheryl! Mine are only 2 feet tall; maybe it's the sunny treat they receive for over 6 hours each day?

Thanks Theo, Droopy & Sjoerd! My bad luck
