Just a quick update with pics! Weather’s been grey the last couple of days, but stuff is happily sprouting! Spinach racing, lettuce beating it… and even the first 2 carrots and 1 beetroot is poking out of the ground! And it even looks like I might get lucky with the rosemary this year!

Time for a real update! As you might know, one of the biggest problems with maintaining a balcony garden – apart from lack of space – is for me getting a hold of soil. Sure, the nearest place that sells it is only 1.5km away, but you try lugging a bag of soil home without [...]
