A garden update and some bad news

Ok so I think I will start with the bad news just so we can end on a good note 

On Monday morning after I got home from work before I went to sleep (I work 3rd and love it) my mom realised she hadn't seen my cat for a couple days angel who normally comes when I call her didn't respond at all to that so I knew something was up I started looking in her favourite places no signs eventually I look under where I sleep and there she is! Laying still and stiff (I nudged her) 

I still don't feel good about the situation she was like 12-13+ (we got her as a kitten but I don't recall the date) and she was a very smart kitten! So I have no clue on when or why she died but we had to decide what to do with her so we ended up burying her under a rose that we planted "for" her (I have pictures of how I found her if anyone wants to see sakura0garden@gmail.com as well as an approx timeline if anyone can estimate time of death) 


That is how the rose bush looked today while I was getting pictures 

So on to everyone else? 


Salsa garden --have harvested cherry tomatoes and a pepper already! 


My window box and zucchini as well as my goji and coarsican mint (that I put duct tape on the bottom to try to prevent most drainage because the goji can take and the mint is dying) 


The goji alone 


If you look carefully you can even see buds! 


The lettuces that we have harvested none of! 


Herb pot and mint pot (you can see they are both liking it!) 



Tomatoes and peppers: if you look you can see some fruits! 



My cuttings --please note some are fresh and more wilted because of that 


And my rasberry that you can see is starting to fruit! 

So the good news is that the garden is getting very productive and pretty fast to boot! Most of these I should be able to trade/sell some of if asked (feel free to contact me at sakura0garden@gmail.com if interested) 

Also as more good news I plan on getting another goji plant that's starting to fruit and more coarsican mint today as well
