have a garden

I didn’t get the allotment thing I applied for, but now I got a balcony! When I moved in four weeks ago, it was just a few square meters of concrete. So I went and bought some nice pot plants, got some more from someone who had to move away, sowed the herb and flower seeds I had collected from my mother’s garden last year, bought herbs in way too little pots from the supermarket and gave them bigger pots and more soil, bought more seeds… Now it looks very nice, and it’s so much fun. I love watching plants grow. Next year I’ll try strawberries, tomatoes, beans… I can’t stop… I hope I’ll get an allotment before I overload the balcony and crash into my downstairs neighbor’s.

I’ve always wanted a big wild garden with lots of nice flowers, bushes and trees that would all be useful at the same time. Berries all over the place and vegetables hiding between flowers that have medicinal and cosmetic properties, many different herbs, and everything concealed from the outside world by vines…
Well, for now I filled out a form for an allotment. It seems quite likely that I’ll get one, but I’ll only know by the end of April or beginning of May. Until then, I’ll try to cultivate some herbs in the apartment.
