Summer has finally hit Copenhagen, and I have been hanging out in the nearby huge park quite a bit – I might even get a bit of a tan this year! The fact that summer has arrived also means that I have taken the plastic off the “greenhouse”; it should be warm enough for everything [...]

First off, the tubs on the floor (and yes, I know I have to sweep the floor, but I planted stuff today and spilled a bit of dirt) The balcony boxes, where I moved the strawberries to. Also, loads of lettuce! In the greenhouse

I fear you no more, threat of light night frost; I got a greenhouse! My mum was lucky and got a hold of a small metal-and-plastic greenhouse (49*69*126cm) in one of the supermarkets near where she lives and brought it over. It fits perfectly on my balcony, and meant that I could plant my peppers [...]

Today I sowed stuff in my little windowsill seedling greenhouse Work has been very stressful lately, and today I went home feeling less than well; but surprisingly, filling those small pots with dirt and then planting seeds helped relax me. I also took a few pictures, however, since it’s dusk, they’re not exactly super awesome. [...]

So, I seed shopped a few weeks ago, and again today when I went to get some planting soil, buckets for planting in and another sprouting box. I’m currently waiting for the planting soil to thaw so I can fill the boxes; but since it’s close to bedtime, the actual sowing won’t be done before [...]
