Any space is good for having plants at home, especially if they are good for our health, like this pomegranate plant
In general, it's a fruit that's mostly used in the preparation of natural remedies for various organs of our body, so having one at home is extremely important.
One detail I noticed when I approached the plant was that it only had a few fruits that were just starting to grow, but given the small space where it was located, I imagine the owners decided to keep it there because of its health benefits.
Also, in a corner, I saw some pots with what appeared to be plants that immediately caught my attention. Upon closer inspection, I noticed some sweet pepper plants, as well as others whose names I didn't recognize, only that they had flowers. It's worth noting that one of those sweet pepper plants in particular was already beginning to bear fruit for its owners, as it can be harvested whenever needed—perhaps that's one of the best feelings.
This concludes my small contribution to the #hivegarden community, where I share photographs of plants we can find in nature and remind everyone that where there's a will, there's a way. No matter how small the space, if we know how to make the most of it, we can achieve great results. I'm certain of this based on what I see daily when we visit clients' homes for work.
Funnily enough I was talking to someone about pomegranates just the other day, they were saying how their neighbour has a pomegranate tree which they haven't harvested and overnight they kept hearing these loud banging noises and eventually realised it was pomegranates falling and hitting the fence repeatedly as the wind was quite strong that night. It was so loud they eventually went out to try to pick as many as they could reach but most of the pomegranates were on the neighbour's side of the fence where they couldn't reach so they had to put up with pomegranate rain all night.
The tree they were talking about is probably a lot older than the one in your photo though :)
Every time I see photos like this all I can think is how patient people with container gardens must be with all the watering and replenishing the soil.

Your post brought back memories, and that first photo looks a lot like my garden—for a moment I thought it was mine, haha. Many years ago, we had a guava bush at home, and we couldn’t get enough of that fruit. As long as there’s room, plants are always welcome. Best regards.
The pomegranate tree is a wonderful choice because of its many benefits. It shows that with proper care become a productive tree.
Pomegranate in a shoebox? Nah, but that pepper’s already got more flavor than my ex’s excuses.
