Hey! I just took some quick updated photos to show you the progress of both my vegetable and flower gardens. It seems to be coming along very well. I am now watering in about 8 gallons per day for each of my gardens. I also have my first tomatoes and peppers growing in nicely! An eggplant flower just bloomed and I expect to see one sometime next week. My mini walkway garden is also showing promise, as the squash and okra leaves are enormous! The corn stalks, although a bit overcrowded, are coming in very nicely as well. In addition, I forgot to mention that I planted some mint leaves for my mom, and they have grown very generously. She uses these leaves to make green chutney and other Indian dishes. As for the flowers, they are blooming beautifully and showing vibrant colors. Don’t believe me? Check out the pictures below!
