So happy that this climber has finally decided to flower after being moved from a pot and placed into the ground. It’s got healthy growth now (yes, even in this heat) and these are the first flowers we get on this plant.

Limes, just picked
The only two limes to fruit on my lime tree (thought it was lemon, but no!). They were this green for a long time so I thought it was time to pick them, cut them, juice them and decide once and for all what type of tree it is. Also, it’s fun picking your own fruit and eating them!
Have a wonderful weekend my friends…

My garden
Our produce – Corn
Just picked from the “corn field” which is the kitchen garden! Our gardener had this idea that we can plant and grow corn there, and he did.
This is the result of his efforts (I claim no kudos here) where he planted a grid of 6 x 4 in total – approx 24 plants.
I can’t wait to try them out. Maybe tonight…

The Gladiolus
The gladies are flowering again. I’ve planted about 70 bulbs in this patch and we didn’t think that they’ll flower this season. We thought we planted them too late, considering that the original several bulbs in that patch have already flowered by then, but I noticed that the stalks have come up during the last week, and some have already started flowering!
Quite chuffed to say the least.
I’ve got several colours this time not only the original red, but purples, pinks, peach, yellow and white.

New Plumeria
I bought this new king of plumeria from a garden centre this morning and promptly found a place for it in my garden.
I have no idea what type of plumeria it is. You could clearly see that it’s leaves are a bit “weird” and unlike any frangipani I have seen before. The garden centre didn’t have the Latin name (of course) so it should be fun trying to properly identifying it. If you could help, please enter a comment with my thanks.
Have a wonderful and peaceful weekend my friends.

ehm: identified as Plumeria Pudica, reportedly one of the best you can get. I’ll reserve judgment for a while if you don’t mind. I’m pretty partial to most kinds of Plumerias so I’ll see how this one fairs.
Pomegranate
Not many trees are bearing fruit at the moment, well, except for this pomegranate and of course the date palms which are almost ready to be harvested.
Have a wonderful Friday my friends, I hope it’s a peaceful and fulfilling one.
Chilli Peppers
I completely ignored these shrubs (and garden) for the last few months as I have been really busy, add to that the fact that we are repainting the house so it’s surrounded with scaffolding an up to 10 painters stomping all over the garden and you get the idea.
Having said that, I am determined to restart my green-thumb campaign come the new season in September.
Have a wonderful (and spicy!) weekend my friends.
