Hello my dear readers,
Another week has gone and I hope everyone is safe!
Since last Friday I was too sad and I didn’t post any updates of my small green corner, here I am today with a quick update.
Remember my mixed leaf salad? I have already cut it 3 times so far and it’s keep re-growing.
My strawberries plants are slow but consistent ๐ย Every week a new leaf is growing ๐ฟ
My fake blueberries plant is keep growing…funny thing is that I have an app on my phone and I’ve tried to identify the plant and seems it is a wild carrot plant ๐ฅย ๐คช…and in fact, the leaves do look similar to carrots leaves….well we’ll see ๐
And finally I’ve separated my chilli plants ๐ฑย ๐ถย I’m curious if I’ll see any chilli ๐ถย ๐
This is my oldest orchid, it has more than 5 years and usually is blooming at Christmas time every year. This year though, it started blooming at Christmas as usual and it never stopped sinceย ๐
Sunday morning usually we go for a walk and look what I’ve found this time? Such a cute papaya plant ๐ฑย Small but look how many papayas ๐ย
And this is where we usually do our weekend walks, surrounded by green and blue sky….my happy and relaxing place ๐ย Nature is so beautiful!
I wish you a wonderful weekend!
Enjoy and stay safe!
Beautiful
Thank you very much!
Looks like you’re doing great job with your mini garden, Ribana. OOh, I love orchids! Yours looks so unique, green and white petals together, pretty! Cute papayas, short but productive ๐

That picture looks at lot like the park in Brea .CA. I could like a walk in a perk right now. Le Grande sigh. ๐น
Nature I think is healing but several countries cannot enjoy it right now! Stay safe and hopefully brighter days will come!
Watching the plants in mini garden is a therapy. Have a fantastic friday! ๐ Stay safe <3
Very true! Is recharging ๐ Stay safe and have a wonderful weekend! ๐๐ธ
That virtual hug, it’s cute๐ฅฐ Nice to see a post of ultimate greenery. Pretty post dear Ribana. ๐คฉ๐
Thank you very much Olivia! Very appreciated! Stay safe and have a wonderful weekend! ๐ธ๐
I’m pleased you are feeling better today
We need to cheer ourselves up as I guess this situation is here to stay for a while ๐ Stay safe Derrick!
Lovely Ribana
Thank you Lorraine!
You are welcime. Hope you are well โค๏ธ
Thank you Lorraine! Everything good so far! How about you? Did you manage to find someone to bring you food?
Good morning Ribana. I think we might be able to find someone soon, but not yet. We are not completely out of food yet but we will need some. Thankyou so much for asking โค๏ธ
Good morning to you Lorraine! Iโm glad you can still find some good people who can help! Stay safe and stay positive! ๐๐ช๐ป
I love watching plants grow. It makes you so proud when you see extra leaves. We had a poinsettia for Christmas and I cut it back as it was dying. We were too lazy to chuck it away, but a few days later some small leaves appeared and now there are loads. Hopefully you will see some produce! ๐
Very true! Is very satisfying seeing new leaves growing! I love it ๐ฑ ๐ฅฐ And when you even don’t expect it they’ll surprise you ๐๐ธ Stay safe and have a wonderful weekend!
How nice! Thanks for sharing ๐
Thank you very much for reading! ๐ฑ
Love your herbs. Hugs back.
Thank you very much! ๐ค ๐ค Wish you a great weekend! Stay safe!
Thanks. You too.
Your plants are growing so nicely! I hope you’re feeling better. Sending hugs your way!
Thank you very much Michelle! I guess need to go on no matter what…Stay safe and have a wonderful weekend! ๐ธ๐๐ค
Love your little garden! Right now, mine consists of a nearly consumed basil plant and half-dried rosemary, but the chives are up in my herb bed so I’m happy.
Thank you very much Dorothy! It’s a good time for some new plants ๐ฑ ๐ It makes us happy ๐
Spring happens!
Wonderful and just seeing the sun is so amazing. We are sun starved. Your lettuce looks so lovely. I wish I would have planted something inside. Our things have to grow practically in the dark, under very gray skies. Have a nice day. ๐
One thing I love about living here is the clear blue sky! There are periods when the humidity is too high and the sky is grey-white but luckily is not very often ๐ Green from the plants and the blue of the sky is something that makes me happy! Have a wonderful weekend! ๐ธ๐ธ
I would love that as well. It’s been racing for two days and it’s almost always gray here. I LOVE the sun and when I was growing up (here) it was sunny all the time. That has changed dramatically and for the worse. I’m glad you get to enjoy it.
Wow you got a green thumb!!! Lovely !
Thank you very much ๐ธ๐ฑ
Beautiful small vegetable ๐ถ garden
Thank you very much ๐๐ฑ
Glad to see your cute kitchen garden !! ๐
Thank you Suni! ๐ธ๐ฟ
Hey Ribana! You’re little garden is doing great! I always thought your “blueberry” plant looked like carrots. It’s always fun to watch plants grow. I like to have plants around, but mine are all flowers, helps to brighten up our long winters. I just bought a couple orchids about a month ago and so far they are doing great. I have never grown them before so I hope they survive. All parks have been closed here now, but our walking trails are still open so far. Have a wonderful day!!๐๐ธ๐โโ
Hi Steve, thank you very much for stopping by! Yes, is wonderful watching the plants grow ๐คฉ๐ฑ such a satisfaction ๐ I will see what my blueberry-carrot plant will do ๐คช
Orchids are beautiful! They need to have light but not direct sun and don’t give them too much water….back home in Italy I’ve started with 3 orchids and I’ve managed to keep them alive for several years….actually are still alive and flowering every year! I use to keep them at the kitchen window were there is light but not direct sun and used to spray a little bit of water on their roots and leaves every day and once every two week fertiliser….beautiful! They’ve loved it ๐ Everyone was asking what I do to them that are so beautiful year after year ๐คช๐
Here in Singapore I have my orchids for several years now and I’ve noticed they like more water as is much hotter ๐
Yes, I’m afraid I might over water my orchids,๐ฌ although so far they seem to be okay, still lots of flowers. Hopefully I can get them to flower again later. I have always liked orchids but thought they would be a hard plant to look after. So I’m enjoying something new!๐ I will enjoy it even more if they survive!๐ I might have to move my orchids to my table soon to keep them out of the sun.๐๐
Thanks Ribana! Have a good day and stay safe!๐๐ธ๐
Enjoy your orchids Steve ๐ Have a wonderful day ๐๐ป
I am doing that!
Thanks!๐๐บ๐
