Keep Going ;

 The -ber months have started but we are still getting a lot of rain. One of the upsides to WFH is that I don't have to brave the rains, the commute, and worrying if I will get stranded near the office. 

I would've loved it if my plants can bathe under the rain but our balcony is so protected that even the plants near the railings don't get wet unless it's really really windy. I've been controlling myself not to water the plants when it's not sunny otherwise they will get root rot.

Happy to report that the flowering plants are still a-blooming despite the gloom.

I bought a packet of rocket arugula seeds and it says on the cover that they germinate fast. I scattered them on soil the other day and here they are. Surprised that it was THAT fast.

I love how these plants seem to tell us to keep going ;;; #

State of the Balcony update

I recently did a mini-clean up of my plants in the balcony because hubby has been complaining that I have too much plants *sob*. While my ampalaya plant has been growing with lush leaves, it was not producing fruits anymore so I decided to uproot it. I might do the same to the okra plant which is barely living which means I no longer have vegetable plants. 

I've decided that I will just get flowering plants instead. I ordered a dwarf kalachuchi plant and a small sampaguita plant. The kalachuchi arrived with one flower and while it is still alive, it has not bloomed again. Yikes.

I was a tad worried if the sampaguita will survive because the balcony only gets maybe two hours of direct morning sun. It is still alive though and has bloomed several flowers that I pluck, smell, and place in our tiny altar.

Before the monsoon rains, my trailing plants had a blast growing and showing off. I've made cuttings and propagated them.

I also bought African turtle vine which are the ones hanging from the railing and I shall photo them up close some other time. I think they stopped growing when it was raining all the time. They like the sun too much.

Finally, here's a bonus shot of the sitting area with the solar lights I bought from Lazada. 😀
