End Of Summer

I'm a bit late this month, but I've spent the last week in bed with the flu. I know of better ways to close the summer.

In the meantime, my garden has turned into a real mess. The sunflowers I've been using as a support for my climbing chayote plants have collapsed under their own weight. The stem simply broke.
I really need to get moving and collect some flower seeds before it's too late.
In the greenhouse, the melons need to be harvested - the plants are heavily infected with mildew.
I hope the last tomatoes will have time to ripen, but since fall has set in with a lot of rain and clouds, I think that will be a no-go.

I truly hope your gardens are in better shape than mine....

Welcome to the SteemIt Community Garden Journal Challenge, which encourages you to share your monthly (indoor) garden/balcony updates with your fellow Steemians and create your own garden journal.

I’ll reward the top 2 posts with a 3 SBD prize.

I'll also use a random name picker to select two entries and send them each 2 #steembasicincome shares.

I had some health issues this summer and was not able to care for it during the really hot, drought days. Most everything died.

Sorry to hear that.
Been struggling with my back these last three years, but still managed to take care of the basics. However, this year I learned that health issues and a garden are hard to combine. It was only a little over a week, but my garden is a disaster

In our garden only grass ... and a few apple trees. Harvest with one we took off in the summer (summer variety), and the second will stand until November))) Pretty boring)))

At least you have apple trees. Mine is only 2 years old, and not a lot of apples are growing yet.

It's Spring in Sydney and lots of different flowers are showing their true colours. Beauty is everywhere ~ Even the weeds. Have been photographing the flowers but became bewitched by the dandelions and clover this week.

My backyard garden has been totally ravaged by Brush Turkeys in the last few years, scraping off every inch of 10-year-old homemade mulch, all the topsoil and a few inches below, in the process of building their mounds/nests in three different locations in the backyard.

Would love to show you all the 'trials and tribulations' of trying to save the garden. ♥︎♥︎⚖️♥︎♥︎

I don't have a garden but I have a bunch of wild blueberries growing in my back yard. I purposely never mowed a big section of my yard to keep them growing. They got surprisingly big. No maintenance was required but I still got all the delicious benefits :)

Oh it’s no fun spending the last days of Summer with the flu. I sure hope you are cleared of it now.

This is a nice challenge. I plan on eventually growing some indoor plants . I will definitely revisit this challenge when I do.

A bit early for us with this challenge my friend as we are now busy studying in the second course of our new mushroom growing venture. These are the first two basic courses and then we have to do 3 advanced ones before we can even start.

But of course when it's all ready I will start to post about the preparations, the growing room and all other titbits.
Blessings!

Sorry to hear you have the flu. I hope you feel better soon.

Pick those tomatoes I guarantee you they ripe inside. I did that before as I left for two weeks.

By the way you can make a great chutney with green tomatoes too.

Hereby my entry. I will do what I see the farmers do around me. No winter stop they plant and wait for the result. Their sunflowers all stay till they are brown, dead and shrunk, I assume they are used for the seeds (eaten or oil?).

No bugs, worms or whatever on my plants. I do not spray or use anything. My tomatoes, the ones I planted outside in August are doing well. As long as it is not raining daily and there is sun I have good hope.

Hereby my entry https://steemit.com/palnet/@wakeupkitty/my-garden-journal-september-28-2019-ldo1jowa

Happy Saturday 💕

No sé si será traducido. ¡Una entrada es una entrada y se trata principalmente de las fotos! Tienes fotos geniales. Sé que en las computadoras Google también puede traducir automáticamente. Yo preguntare. Feliz lunes.

I do not know if it will be translated. An entry is an entry and it is mainly about the photos! You have great photos. I know on computers google can automatically translate too. I will ask. Happy Monday.

Hi @simplymike. I have a question. Is it a problem to join in another language as English. I hope you will not ignore the Dpanish entries. I couldn't find anything back in the rules.
Thanks in advance for your answer. Happy Monday 💕

No problem. I've had quite a coupleof Spanish entries in the past.
I had given @gertu an upvote on the post and the comment, but forgot to reply to her comment. I fixed that yesterday. Still need to go over all the posts to leave a comment there, though. I hope to get that done by tonight. :0)

Great it is possible. I am not always sure if those who host a contest are willing to yranslate. I try to make a list with contests/challenges to join.
It takes a lot of time to read and comment. I see that with the two contests I am hosting. Perhaps it saves time only to do so once or twice a week.
?i wish you a great Tursday 💕
