These are the plants in my urban garden

Hello, today I want to show you my humble urban garden 😍, I call it that way because in our house in the city we do not have a yard full of land where plants can grow at will, however I look for some alternatives that have served me very well to grow the plants that I like so much, very good alternatives because they not only help me achieve the goal but also contribute to recycling, which is a practice that I love. For example, here I have two types of plants growing in a tire that I use as a pot, in this way I gave a second useful life to this object. As for plants, I love these because they are medicinal, one is Aloe vera, I use it often in the kitchen if I want to replace egg white, but I also use it for medicinal and even cosmetic purposes because it is very good for the skin. The other broad-leafed plant is commonly called "bad mother" or "mother of thousands" (they call it that because it has many small seedlings on the leaves that dropping) is excellent for fighting nodules and even to fight cancer, but it also has many other benefits, that's why I love it. Now it is very overgrown, so I have to transplant it.

In this case I used an old washing machine that was no longer useful, to grow inside several specimens of plants of all kinds, there are tomatoes, mint, peppers and I even saw a sprout of a papaya plant, which obviously I will have to transplant to a particular pot. The peppers and tomatoes have not yet given me their fruits because it is too early, but as soon as they are ready I am sure I will make good use of them 😃.

Here you can see in more detail all the plants I have, I love them and as you can also see, the pots are alternative, they are paint or water cans, tires, etc, except for one that is a real pot.

This that you are seeing in the first picture is a small mango tree growing, I didn't really grow it, what happens is that when there is mango season at home we usually eat them a lot, maybe someone threw a seed over there and from this one started to sprout. I wanted this plant to grow and develop in all its splendor because I love mangos 😍 and obviously in a pot that would be impossible to achieve, so what my husband and I did was to move this plant to the patio of the house we have in town because there is a good ground where it has been able to grow and develop satisfactorily, as you can see in the second picture. For me it was very satisfying to be able to see how much it has evolved, in fact now there are two shoots coming out of the same stem.

And this is something that makes me very happy, it is a pumpkin bush, my neighbor grows them and as we have a good relationship between neighbors we share some plants when they are vines, so the shoots that have been passed to my house I have let them grow, and in the same way it has happened that I share with him the shoots of some plants, like that time when I grew passion fruit, and now I am particularly happy because one of the shoots already has a small pumpkin that is growing, I hope it grows bigger and stronger.

Today in the morning I noticed that some flowers had sprouted, maybe because of the rain, so the buds look more cheerful, especially the one with the little elongated pumpkin 😍.

And well, friends I say goodbye for now, I hope you have a wonderful weekend full of success. I send you virtual hugs and kisses.
