I live in an apartment building & my landlord kindly allows me to garden. A neighbor approached me about starting some vegetables so we've added some heirloom tomatoes, sweet peppers, kale, & turnips along with some purple basil to my flower garden. We've got our 1st tomato and peppers forming👍

Unexpectedly I had a common milkweed volunteer pop up next to my houseplants. Too cool! It's already got some significant bug activity. There's a bit of an infestation in the top leaves (see curling) and here's a random ant and red fly. If I get any seed heads I'll distribute them out back 👍.

My clematis blooms have already come and gone. This was their 2nd year. Last year there were two bloom cycles. Maybe this year🤞. However, I think clematis have the most wonderful seed heads. They are silky and actually very soft to the touch 👍.

I grew a 3' high zinnia plant indoors in a 5" pot 2 yrs ago (see reply to this post), had 3 blooms, harvested seeds, gained a garden, sowed last year, harvested seeds. This👇 yrs crop. It was variety pack so random colors occur based on the seed. This year, 🟠 &🟡 .

Late entry to this thread cause this just popped yesterday. This is supposed to be plains coreopsis. I especially like the copper buds 👍. The seeds were a gift from my landlady from whom I inherited the garden so I was especially excited to let her know they bloomed.
