One Saint Pierre tomato plant and two cherry tomato plants that already gave us a lot of fruit, but were severely injured in a couple of storms had to be chopped down. The injuries they suffered were not the only issue, they were also sun burned and infested with some pests I've never seen until now. It didn't look to good and I decided to remove those sickly looking plants. However, I still have a few tomato plants in the other corner of my balcony garden. Those are looking pretty healthy and are producing fruit quite nicely although they too are under attack of those unknown pests I mentioned.
It's been raining all day, so I'll be spraying with some neem oil when it stops and hope for the best! It seems that this year a lot of people in my area are having problems with their tomato gardens, but I'll dedicate a post regarding this theme very soon.
In one of my older posts I was telling you that I'm sorry because I haven't grown any lettuce this year, but that has changed before a month ago or so when I planted some arugula(rucola or rocket salad) which has already been on our menu. A bunch of seeds were sown in one container as you can see from this picture taken just one week after they were put in soil.

Some herbs from my balcony garden were harvested and dried, some seeds collected but I'll be writing about that in one of my following posts together with the various techniques I use for these purposes.

Which is better about sunflower seeds vs sunflower oil for people health? Sunflower seeds and sunflower oil are integral components of a nutritious and versatile diet. Sunflower seeds, packed with nutrients like vitamin E, magnesium, and selenium, serve as a wholesome snack or a delightful addition to salads and baked goods. These seeds are renowned for their crunchy texture and nutty flavor. On the other hand, sunflower oil, extracted from these seeds, is a cooking staple celebrated for its light taste and versatility. Rich in heart-healthy unsaturated fats, sunflower oil is ideal for various culinary applications, from sautéing and frying to dressing salads. While sunflower seeds provide a satisfying crunch and a nutrient boost, sunflower oil adds a delicate and flavorful touch to a wide array of dishes. Together, these components offer a harmonious balance of taste and nutrition, making them essential elements in a well-rounded and health-conscious culinary repertoire.
