This postcard depicts a scene from Bronx Park in New York, featuring the Green House and Garden. It is an illustration with muted colors, typical of early 20th-century printed materials. The background shows dense green foliage and trees under a partly cloudy sky. In the foreground, several individuals dressed in period-appropriate clothing are engaged in gardening activities along wooden planters or raised beds filled with vibrant flowers and plants. A large greenhouse structure is prominent on the left side of the image, suggesting an organized botanical setting within the park. The card includes text at its bottom indicating the location as "Bronx Park" which provides context for the scene depicted.

First basil replication project in our new place 🌿the grey pot is the donor, which is regrowing after the cuttings. I wanted to plant them separately but the roots of the three right ones were very tangled!

We have a very sunny balcony so I hope these and many more herbs thrive over here. :moomin_happy:

Tomato plants look healthy so far. Hoping for a good harvest this summer. #theGreenhouse

Spent the day cleaning our outdoor spaces, and filling planters on the roof with cherry tomatoes, basil and flowers. I’m tired now, but it’s a good kind of tired. #theGreenhouse

Basil plants in planter, view from roof behind it.

Experimenting with miniature moos gardens in my avocado tree pot :3

Oopsie. I put all 50 lentil plants into pots and left them outside to get some sun... and promptly forgot to bring them inside overnight, so they have unfortunately been killed by frost. I'll wait until it's a bit warmer and replant a more manageable number, leaving room for herbs and other stuff as well.

in case you were curious about the beans... they became a nice banquet for snails! 🌱 🐌 😁

Really pleasantly surprised at how this young passionfruit is going. We're coming into winter here so I didn't think we'd see flowers, and still don't think we'll see fruit but it looks like it's going to have a red hot go at it. The vine was mainly put in to give us a bit more privacy on the other side of this gate I made with my father a year or so ago; I planted it as a 10cm seedling maybe 3 months ago as the tomatoes gave up the ghost and it's taken off like a rocket.

photo taken from the floor showing a section of the apple tree and a person over the roof. the person smiles to the camera and holds a bag that seems full of apples.

growing strawberries for the first time #theGreenhouse

Helped build a raised garden bed in my backyard this weekend! Got some herbs and other veggies, and they're set up with an auto-watering system too. Excited to see how these babies grow :D #theWorkshop #theGreenhouse

A raised garden bed with three sections, the closest and lowest with 5 herb plants, the middle with 5 vegetable plants, and the highest with 4 plants. All three are covered in brown-red mulch which surround the plants, and the edges are built with light brown two-by-four wood planks. A brown tube surrounds the border of the garden bed, with nozzles poking out for the auto watering system.

beans keep growing and growing 🌱

photo showing three bean plants in a pot. there are two branches arranged as a triangle, joining at the top.
one of the plants has been growing around a branch, practically covering it, and arrived at the top of the triangle. the other one is in its way.

Lentil sprouts! This is going to be an adventure. I sprouted waaay more than I have room to grow. #theGreenhouse

A handful of sprouted lentils on a piece of damp paper towel in a glass jar.

A plastic tray divided into 50 compartments, each holding some soil and a lentil sprout.

beans in progress update! 🌱
the bigger plant has climbed a lot already, and the second one is starting to catch up.

i have observed that apparently they climb some centimeters, they stop and grow the closest leaves, and then they climb again.
makes sense to me, and it amazes me a lot when i think about photosynthesis and all the cellular biology going on there :tealheart:

the bean plant started to hug 🌱

#theGreenhouse

photo of two bean plants. the larger one started to twist itself around a branch that i set up.

this bean plant launched their "probe" and it's about to reach one of the branches i set up for them 🌱 :tealheart:

#theGreenhouse

a long arm of a bean plant about to reach a dry, vertical branch. at the bottom of the arm there are several big leaves. in the background there are other bean plants.

Against all odds, in awful low-light, intermittent watering patterns, our little lentil plant started growing pods!?
#theGreenhouse

We found the piece of succulent plant on the left, lying on the ground during a walk a few days ago, we dropped it on the soil next to the other one.

Over a days it has grown these hair-like roots and lifted itself upward and pointed up! Now it's growing again. 🌱

#theGreenhouse

Today I had a nice surprise waiting for me! First time growing from seed and this little friend just came out! :tealheart: #theGreenhouse
