Cuttings, Fruits, Flowers and Seedlings - All In A Days Gardening | A HiveGarden Journal

---

After another week, the garden is blooming once again. From flowers to fruits, cuttings and seedlings, everything is growing at a tremendous pace, in this week's garden journal, I muse about the flowers that still bloom and I think about the future of my garden.

I planted some basil seeds and these seedlings popped up in no time. But after leaving the garden for a while, none of them survived, or so I thought! This morning, I saw two or three seedlings (above right) sticking their heads through the ground. Maybe from these two plants, I can make some others in the near future.

are also sticking their heads through the ground, and hopefully I can harvest some of their leaves in the near future as well! Every year I crave a dish I make from their leaves...

This year, or at the end of the year, I am also getting much more success from the gooseberries. Throughout the year, I had some trouble due to wind breaking most of my gooseberry plants. But now, I have managed to grow them! And I already harvested some berries from other parts of the garden as well.

The wild rocket also took over, with many new plants and some of the older ones growing tons of new leaves. I have already harvested plenty from these plants this morning, turning their leaves into nutritious salads!

Process of Repotting Cuttings

Various cuttings

From the cuttings department, I am also knee-deep in work. I have made so

and just before going to my fiance , and almost every single cutting survived! Now, I need to repot most, otherwise the roots will entangle and I might lose some of the cuttings. It takes so long for the roots to develop, I cannot skip the hard work now!

It takes some work to repot these cuttings. First, I need to take out all of the cuttings (above left); then I need to carefully detangle all of the roots (above middle); and then I need to replant them in a new pot (above right). But in the end, if all of the cuttings take, I have enough new plants to make a whole new garden! (I need to actually try and sell these plants...)

Throughout my garden, I am also seeing the most beautiful flowers. I have the worst hay fever this year, and I think it might be from all of the pollen in the air. I have any different species of plants blooming and dancing in the ample sunlight these plants are getting in the summer.

I can smell them (when I do not have hay fever) and I can only imagine the delicious honey that the many bees who visit them produce! How I wish I could make some honey from these flowers!

Alas, someone else will be blessed.

I hope that your garden produces some beautiful plants, flowers, fruits, or leaves for you!

Happy gardening.
