Yellow Marigolds, Bean Pods and Other Veggies - Friday Garden

Hello, my dears! Hope your week has been good and there is such a reason for more happiness - a weekend! My week has been slightly hectic and I have to work on weekend too...Yea...sad :(
Whatever, I am here again with my Friday Garden! Come along, sit on the bamboo chairs and look around.
First you will notice marigolds. They are supposed to be at least three times taller, and flowers - three times bigger, but not very rich soil and hot weather must have prevented them from growing more. There are these yellow blossoms thought which bring joy to the eye in the mornings.

Then you will see the bean pods hanging from the bushes. They seem doing fine, aren't they?

 Now - not exactly MY garden, but some veggies which were planted by my FIL. Happened so that we both have different gardens and each waters his/her own :) The eggplant looks fine, but probably it'll take time till it starts giving flowers.
 Tomato plants are pleasantly green and strong, so I look forward harvesting our own tomatoes in a few weeks. Dreams come true! :)
 The Russian lettuce is finishing the cycle of its development, and we will be able to have our own seeds soon. It grew quiet well this year because I sowed it very early. Otherwise lettuce doesn't appreciate high temperature at all, and the leaves droop straight away under the hot Indian sun.
That's all for today, dears. Tomorrow I am going to take my camera to the place where I have to work this weekend. It has lovely gardens, and that's why I can still bear being there:) Wishing you to have a great, sunny and happy weekend!

  2. Your marigolds are pretty. You can save seeds for next year. Just leave a few flowers on the plant and let them dry up. Then save the seed pods for next year. You will get LOTS of seeds from one flower. Happy gardening!

  5. Oh I love marigolds, they are kinda of a forgotten flower, a plain jane type, but I just love them! I would love to grow tomatoes, in the hopes they would taste like a real tomato, you just can't get a good tasting tomato anymore! Have a wonderful weekend and don't work to hard!

  10. Hi Anna, Have a fun and enjoyable week, all natural, and is now much more beautiful than waking up the next day, we got rain around here, waiting for the sun, instead of pleasure to come quickly, I wish to discuss ..

  11. I like your passion for gardening. I live plants and flowers but I am not a garden person. I tried few times, but I end up screwing up the poor plants. So, I left them alone but enjoy what others do to their gardens. Keep up the good work! :))
