The tangerine tree is about to start to bloom

On the left Thunbergie Schwarzäugige Susanne (Black-eyed Susan vine / Mustasilmäsusanna) which I grew fom the seed.

Iceland poppy (Islandmohn / Siperianunikko)

Habanero chilli

Hot purple chilli which I got from Hubby as a birthday present some years back

Tomato (Tomate / tomaatti). The first box has four and the second three plats and they are all different.

Looks like we will soon be able to make some tomato salad...

Our pea harvest isn't looking good: we will only get two pods :D One for Hubby one for me...I did plant some new seeds so we will see if we get some more before the end of the summer.

Coriander (Echte Koriander / korianteri) flower

Strawberry mint (Erdbeerminze/"Mansikkaminttu") and Peppermint (Pfefferminze/Piparminttu)
