Yellow Mushroom in Terrarium!

Slowly but surely, those yellow mushroom invaded my terrarium. I think it was on the soil waiting for the right condition to grow. They are harmless yet beauty so I keep them in there as long as they last :-)

Flame seedless grape!

Grapes are ripen! It flowered on May and now they are ready to be harvested. I didn't have experience this time so I didn't pinched out some grape. I learned that by pinched and thinned some fruit out, it help the rest bigger. Despite the small size, they are very sweet :-)

Ice box baby sugar water melon!

I picked up this Ice box baby sugar water melon last month at Home Depot nursery. They are growing fast and now started flowering. Each plants has several male and female flowers. I pinched off the first flowers. When they had flowers again for second time, I hand pollinated them early in the morning.

I didn't see much bee up here so hand pollinated is a key to have fruit.

Kishu Mandarine!

The local nursery just had this lovely Kishu Mandarine in stock. I wanted it so badly because it was very hard to find but it was a kind of pricy so I had to go with the cheapest option means bought the younger plant. I don't know when it will have fruit but small plant mean I can keep it indoor. The information said it will bloom in Spring. Keep finger crossed.

I found a lovely Made in Vietnam pot at Ross and potted the plant with organic soil and Citrus slow release fertilize. It's the first time I grow citrus indoor so let's wait and see :-)

Japanese cucumber!

The Japanese cucumber I picked up at the nursery last month is now blooming. When I first picked it up, it was about a feet tall and had some flowers. I pinched off all of the flowers so the plant could save its energy to develop the root system. This is very important thing I just learned after one of my tomato didn't grow very well when I left all the first flowers and fruits on the plant as I got it from the nursery.

This is female flower. I couldn't find the male flower to hand pollinate it so I don't know if it will become fruit.
