I just updated the What’s Growing? page and didn’t realize how many fruit trees we have until I listed them all down. Below is the list so far, not even including all the grafts that I have made.

Daffodils + Guava + Magnolia
I had a busy weekend and I’m so tired. This morning my Mom and I went to my Grandma’s (and Uncle and Aunties) where I helped paint their picket fence and garage.
Before we left, I took these shots.
Our Magnolia is blooming
Emerging Daffodils (not the ones my brother just bought, but the ones we’ve had growing in our front yard)
The Guavas are getting bigger. Hopefully we can harvest them soon
Photos from the Garden
I love my new Canon PowerShot A610 camera, because it can take much better macros than my old Canon PowerShot SD100. I can shoot as close as 1cm. Below are some photos I took earlier today.
Jade Plant Flowers
Coleus “Alabama Sunset” Seed Stalk
Dried up Dusty Miller seed heads
Guava Blossom…
Our Tropic White Guava has finally started to blossom. Hopefully we’ll get guava fruit soon.
Sometimes I feel like an idiot… I planted a sunflower bed ( pic ) back in June 13. Well… The sunflower seedlings I transplanted were Zinnias!!!!… and now they are starting to bloom. Luckily, there were some bare spots where I planted sunflower seeds… so we should still get some sunflowers.
Sunflower… err… Zinnia/Sunflower bed

Sunday Gardening…
Sunday, July 10
Early this morning, I harvested my first cucumbers and eggplant. The huge cucumber in the photo is labeled as Yellow Submarine Cucumber. It hasn’t turned yellow as the tag shows, but that thing is 10 inches, but the tag says 8 inches, so I decided to go ahead and harvest it.
Yellow Submarine Cucumber, Lemon Cucumber, Hungarian Sweet Wax Pepper, Millionaire Japanese Eggplant
Fay Elberta Semi Dwarf Peach
The Sweet 100 Tomatoes are really to harvest, but I’ll do that tomorrow.
Our pruning shears are a bit dull, so I sharped them with a sharpening stone, and they work so much better. I don’t think they ever have been sharpened.
I repotted the Avocado that I “discovered” we had (see yesterday’s post). My mom kindly gave the plant to me :)
I took some pictures around the garden…
