Bye, bye June & welcome July with some green

The month of June is gone, and July begins. Hopefully, it will bring joy and many BCHs to all of us.

Yesterday, I spent most of the morning taking care of the plants on my balcony. And also, I've taken my time to see my achievements on BCH in June.

So I'm going to tell you how my green day was.

Some background - A visit to a nursery in La Union

A couple of days ago, during one of the driving lessons that I'm giving to my son. We went a little further where we use to go. And we went to visit one of the many nurseries in a place called La Union in Caracas. It's an area close to a town called El Hatillo, where you can find some small crop farms and some nurseries as well.

Since the Pandemic began, I hadn't bought plants, and my stock of aromatic herbs on the balcony was quite depleted. My idea was to buy thyme and sage, as the plants I had of both herbs dried up after a long time with me. But in the nursery, there were neither, so I ended up buying rosemary, mint, and a small chive plant. We've enjoyed our time visiting the nursery as well and took some pics.

This is one of the finest nurseries in the area, and we couldn't resist taking some pictures of the miniature garden they have in the center of the place.

It's the closest thing to my dream place to live, including the mini too.

Of course, I couldn't resist not wandering around the orchids. I haven't had an orchid at home for a long, long time.

This is a Vanda Orchid. Maybe one day, my earnings on BCH will allow me to have one.

But what I can afford, and I'll be sure to take one with me next time. It's one of these colorful cherry peppers plants.

Bye, bye June with some green on my balcony

One of the things I like to do when I cook is using some fresh herbs from my balcony. And even though I didn't get what I was initially looking for, I have the perfect excuse to come back soon for the thyme and the sage. And I'm happy with what I brought.

So after pruning and fertilizing the existing plants in my balcony with some crushed eggshells and new soil, I took care of my new plants.

I love rosemary, and I don't mind having more than one since I use it a lot. Baked or boiled potatoes with rosemary are my favs. And I'm trying once again with the mint.

I've never had much success with my mint plants in the past. They happen to dry out very quickly on my balcony. Hopefully, this time it will last me more. I got some good advice from my friend @Yelenab at Noise. And later today, I'll replant it into a bigger pot to give more space to the roots to grow.

And that's for now what I did on my green balcony, on a farewell day for June. Today, I will move the mint and plant the chives. And now speaking of green. What happened with my BCHs in June?

June, my best month so far in Noise.cash

June was by far my best month in Noise.cash. I've made 0,1588 BCHs just making noise. My earnings in June, in Noise alone, were $80.98 at a BCH price of $510. And with a higher potential profit in dollars. Since eventually, the BCH will be mooning. And for now, I'm on hold, at least until I hit 1 BCH.

Maybe for some, it isn't much. But for me, it's enough for a month doing microblogging on a platform that I love and having a lot of fun interacting with other noisy people. And I'm grateful for it.

For now, I don't include my earnings in Read.cash. Which believe it or not, I've had. Thanks to the immense generosity of my sponsors and those who visit and upvote my articles and comments. But for now, and until further notice, my earnings here won't go yet to my BCH achievement report. But to my fund to give back to this wonderful community.

And here I leave these random lines. Perhaps, are nothing more than an excuse to share with you. And wish you all a month of July full of good things. And plenty of chances to get more BCH.

If you have reached this point, thank you for reading me. If you like it, a comment or a thumb up will be greatly appreciated as well.

To all my wonderful sponsors, thank you all. You rock! If you haven't visited their profiles, I encourage you to do so. You'll find content that you will surely like.

And I take this opportunity to give special thanks to my most recent sponsor @FarmGirl Thank you for joining me on this journey. :)

All images are mine.

And if you are in Noise, you'll find me as CoquiCoin as well. And if you aren't, what are you waiting for to join the fun. And speaking of fun, be sure to don't miss out on @Panky 's latest initiative to make all of us have even more fun by making noise.

Seems like a good month :) I love those cute plants even the pepper plants. They look like candies! I tried growing rosemary from what I took from home and I had success with it so far. I will plant some more. I love the smell of it.

Yes, it was a good month for me at Noise.cash. I didn't talk about Read because Rusty keeps ignoring me for now;) I love the rosemary smell too. Thanks for stopping by, Art!

I didn't progress there as as much as I did last month because of how things were. What worked well for me last month is no longer this time around. I hope you'll be visited by rusty soon :)

Speaking of plants. katatapos ko lang magtanim ng mga kamote at gulay gulay, doctora. Very therapeutic talaga sya pramis. Yang vanda, mahal yan. Gusto ko din bumili kaso mejo mahal. Pag nakaipon konti hehe.

That miniature garden... OMG! Its too cute! I love the herbs you bought too. Alessandra is right about a bigger pot for your mint. Rosemary can grow bigger when given more room too and also the watering becomes less cumbersome in bigger pots. I have a huge rosemary bush too, which I inherited from the previous owner. I took lots of cuttings last year, as it looked as it was about to die, but it's doing well now and I am selling the cuttings instead :)

The picture of the orchid is actually a Phalaenopsis orchid, not vanda. If only you lived closer I could send you a few of those, I have so many of them, but not sure if they would survive a long journey.

The rosemary here grows well, and I also have an oregano plant that has been with me for many years. I'm going to put the mint in the largest pot I can. I don't have much room on the balcony. I also want to replace a sage plant. I had one that lasted a long time. But a plague fells on it, and I lost it. Thanks for clarifying about the orchid. That means Google Lens could be wrong too, hahaha. Here, there are many orchids, but they are quite expensive. Thanks for dropping by, dear Monika! Cheers ♡

I had the same thing happening with my sage. It grew nicely, until one year it just perished. I thought I had pruned it at the wrong time, but maybe it also had a disease, I don’t know. I also have an oregano, although it doesn’t smell like oregano, so I’m unsure of what it is anymore 😅 Try googling vanda and then Phalaenopsis, you’ll surely see the difference. I grow both, but Vanda’s are much more expensive here.

Another one that I would love to have is basil, but like mint, I've never been good at keeping it. And your oregano may be something else, hehe I hope you have a happy day, dear Monika!

It’s been a fruitful day for sure. I usually buy basil in a pot from grocery stores and they grow beautifully until aphids get them. They are very very thirsty plants.

Post a picture of your oregano one day, so I can compare it to mine’s 💙

Those are nice plants I see in your post. I hope you can buy them all. Mint and yerba buena plants grow best in rectangular pots, which are longer than they are deep. Give it a try.

Thank you! I'll do that. I have a rectangular pot already available. And I wasn't able to replant the mint today since we have a lack of water today. Those things that happen to us around here, you know well. But I'll do it tomorrow. Thanks for stopping by! :)

You sure had a wonderful time around June :) Awesome and congratulations! May you have more greens and earnings this July :)

I love the miniature garden in your photo, much so with the orchids. Your rosemary is looking great as well. I have a few pots of them too :) And I hope your mint will get to grow robustly soon :)

Thank you for the mention :) I sincerely love your articles :)

Thank you for your kind words! And for your best wishes for my little plants. I hope that this time the mint will last me at least more than a month. Today, I will put it in a bigger pot. Thanks for stopping by. Lots of greens and BCHs earnings in July for you too. ♡
