Hey Anyone! Any guesses as to what this flowering plant could be? Trying to solve a mystery…

I’ve been depressed and anxious lately.

I’m trying to find joy in plants, and seldom succeeding.

It’s not the plants. There is no joy or peace where there is no justice. There is no justice in my country.

I’ll keep fighting, and maybe we can have justice, peace, and joy again someday. #resist

It ain’t pretty but it’s fixed 😎 it was in pieces all last summer.

Thinking I’ll set up a drip irrigation underneath for peppers and cucumbers which will be in grow bags.

Cut the tops off of all but one of the radishes, it seemed to be doing more harm than good…

One seems to have figured out how to use the bottle to its advantage

Looking like a real plant!

The cucumelon is by far doing the best in a Kratky setup

Picked up these neat looking Gourds at the conservatory gift shop earlier this week.

I’ve always wanted to grow these things.

So pink, but still skinny. I think these will need at least 2 more weeks to harvest 😭

Defo growing these again
