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 [...]

I knew the sweetpeas would grow fast; but they’re surprising even me! These last 3 days haven’t been awesome weather wise – loads of rain and not that much sun – but the peas seem to like it! The peppers and oregano is growing quite fast as well The rest of the balcony looks more [...]

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

It’s time for a bit of news from the garden! My tomato plant is flowering and has grown a lot since I got it. The peppers are looking good, but are still quite small. The newly planted basil is peeking out of the ground now. Some of the lettuce is at an edible size now [...]

So, today is a holiday (in fact, I’m not due back to work until Tuesday, yay!), and I decided to plant out a few things after a few days of acclimatizing the seedlings The leek get a few extra days of acclimatizing though, and the bell peppers are waiting for me to find some more [...]

It’s been a while since I have updated, but work has been very busy, so just haven’t taken the time. I have however eaten the first harvest – it was of course cress It was eaten on the 18th on salmon, smoked saddle of pork and egg salad – yum! After being eaten, I planted [...]

I guess my seedlings are pretending to be Irish today – at least they’re happily sprouting! Look! As you can see, the cress is fully grown (package said 8-10 days – it was ready on day 4!). Next to the cress is the oregano – tiny little sprouts coming up there. Rosemary not coming yet, [...]

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 [...]
