My sublime Sunday is again in the garden, where believe me or not, there is space for sun bed and I can sunbathe among the plants. OK, the balcony is long enough. So, after my last Sunfay post let us see what is new in my garden.
I will start with the lemon blooming.
The tree is small and there are not so many blossoms, but their smell is awsome.
This year we picked five lemons. Even small they were delicious. Hopefully we will have some lemons again.
Our tomato is doing well and each day I count the new ones. So far we have 16. There would be more as new blossoms are ready to turn into tomatoes.
To my surprise some seed of nasturtium I grew last year has found a new place to grow.
Today I spot in another pot new nasturtium sprouting. I hope to be different colour.
Another flower is growing like mad. My hubby planted from seeds but the package is lost and I do not know the name. Leaves are green reddish and the flower is just coming up.
In the beginning this flower was attacked by pests and after spraying and removing the affected leaves, now it is blooming.
Here is some close-up.
I am pleased to see the little alyssum is also doing well next to the marigold.
Just for comparison, below photo is when I first bought the alyssum and planted between the strawberries. Of course it has to pass Furry control.

The strawberries now are replanted in separate pots hanging so the fruit to cascade
I have already picked few strawberries but they were not as sweet as I expected. Below the strawberries are
dahlia and verbena. Dalia blossoms do not last long, however new buds are ready to open.
Another look at alyssum and marigold.
While clearing the weeds from the pots I was happy to see the hoverfly. Like ladybirds they are always welcome to visit my garden.
I hope you enjoyed visiting my garden and wishing you lovely Sunday.

Yes. This is often good, but sometimes it would have been better for them not to resemble with their parents.

Your garden is doing very well. I have never seen a lemon bloom before. They are gorgeous. I can imagine how good they must smell. Your nasturtium also looks wonderful. They are edible as a garnish on salad. I do not know if you knew that. They have a peppery flavor to them. Lastly the bee macro shot was truly fantastic. A great capture:)
Wonderful post, Nelinoeva:)

Lemon blossons are so tender and the smell is divine.
I knew that nasturtium is edible, but I haven't tried it myself. Yet. 😀

Oh pretty produce and planting. The first one, you are calling the white flowers lemons? Lemon as limes, you mean?
I love those big marigolds, its my father's favorite flower. I hope in the next post, you show us strawberries hanging down from those pots, would look so pretty, combo of red and green hanging and blossoming there.
Congrats on your curie vote:)

Actually it is lemon, not lime. The tree is small, so is the fruit.
I hope the strawberries to become more. Wait and see. :-)

Oh yes Lime, I learned the difference between lemon and lime recently. Lime the big and yellow. Lemon the green and small. Right?
Oh yes strawberries - they got to know we are waiting :P :)

Lime is small and green and lemon - big and yellow, mine is lemon tree. 😀

Beautiful white flowers with the yellow centre, and your tomato crop is doing spectacularly well.
I really like the photo of the Hoverfly - a perfect close up how did you persuade it to pose for the camera?

The white lemon blossom is very tender and I am sad to say the wind blew them away. I don't know if there will be any lemons this year.
And hoverfly, believe me or not, was not hard to capture. :-)

Howdy nelinoeva! what wonderfully healthy plants you have! I would love to have a lemon tree. The smell alone would be worth it! Are all these just on your balcony?

Hi janton! Thannks for visiting my post. :-)
Yes, all of them grow on the balcony. I have no garden, I wish to. But for now, the balcony is enough :-)

Howdy again nelinoeva! Well, you might not have time for a full sized garden anyway right? Perhaps when you retire. I think you have a green thumb though!

Yes, the time is not enough and thanks to my boyfriend who is having green thumb too, our small garden is doing well. He is helping a lot moving the pots, planting and replanting. When I retire I will be having more time for all my hobbies. :'l

Howdy today nelinoeva! that's a wonderful plan and I bet your garden will be huge! But that's okay if your boyfriend will help do the work!

I have never seen Strawberries in hanging pot plants before and makes sense as the Strawberries will be easy to pick. Balcony gardens can be pretty cool as there is less work than a normal garden.

These are the most beautiful lemon flower pictures I have seen. Had it not been for the 3rd picture I'd never have guessed they were lemon. Amazing photo quality. We take for granted the beauty of certain flowers. They are so small and usually so high up there and surrounded by thorns... They tend to resemble our human affairs and how we relate to some people.
Amazing garden. Everything looks perfect, especially the juicy tomatoes.
