I've not updated y'all on how my plants are doing and stuff and stuff in a while, so, I took some pictures today. :)

My Basil has started blooming pretty little white flowers... I was unaware it did that.


My Habanero pepper plants have all grown to be very big, at least a foot tall.


My Watermelon Vines survived my boyfriend. (He read that and got an OMG face and started crawling away, lol)


My greenhouses look like a safari.


And the Moonflowers I've planted are growing very, very, nicely!



Y'all may be able to see... My plants have been attacked by vicious caterpillars recently. I took care of it though.

Very nice...

Very nice

Looks great!

Watermelon last week.


Watermelon this week!


I hadn't really noticed how invasive watermelon plants are until now! Lol.


So, so far my potted watermelon plants are doing well. I can't remember who told me to tell them if it worked out, but, it looks like it will be. :)

Watermelons are not particularly difficult to grow, but because they are so demanding I don't consider watermelons to grow as a good plant for those who do not have enough space to grow. It requires a lot of space and lots of sun, water and lots of nutrients to grow well.

The way you are growing watermelon plant is amazing. It seems your plant does not get direct sunlight, Do they?

Sorry for the late reply, but, no, they don't get full sun.
They're on an East facing balcony though.
Unfortunately, my partner and I decided we're going to move out of the apartment we're in now, so I had to untangle the vines and remove them from the rack.

Your 'greenhouse' is so sweet! It is tiny but does a really good job. I need it in my house because I do not have so much space so I could save it with it. With big amount of plants it is really useful!
