Greetings From My Garden

It rained the previous night and the grass was still wet from the rain when we woke up this morning.
 Sunrise at 7:00 am.
The ground was wet from the previous night's rain and I only need to water the plants that are under shade and were not watered by the rain. I would like to show the progress of some of my plants in my garden.
 Bitter melon or bitter gourd plants are climbing higher.
 My angled loofah plants are also growing very well and there are signs of flower buds.
 The red okra plants are growing bigger and starting to bear fruits.
 2 of the Purple Jordan fig plants.
 My purple custard apples. I almost gave up on this plant.
The plant started to bear fruits just before I could discard the plant. 
 These orange firecracker flowers add colour to my garden.
The first of the multi layer petals yellow hibiscus blooms.
More buds are appearing, expecting more flowers in the days to come.


For the free gift of eternal salvation is now being offered to everyone;
and along with this gift comes the realization that God wants us to turn from godless
living and sinful pleasures and to live good, God-fearing lives day after day,
looking forward to that wonderful time we've been expecting, when his glory
shall be seen - the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ.
(Titus 2:11-13, The Living Bible-TLB)

  4. You have really green fingers. Everything grows. Usually when you plant to throw something away, it started to grow. Lol. Like your purple custard apple plant. I never see an actual custard apple plant.

  6. Your garden is just really beautiful. We had some rain yesterday and hope our garden starts to bloom soon. The purple custard apples are really neat looking. Glad they were able to make a turn around. Thanks for the share. Have a great day.

  12. Aquí estamos en primavera y después de meses de sequía, hemos tenido unos meses de lluvia. Las plantas con la lluvia que ha caído han tomado nueva vida.

    Tienen unas plantas muy bien cuidadas.
