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 [...]

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

Hi! I’ve been horribly busy lately, so haven’t had time to update; sorry! Things are happening on the balcony though; especially the lettuce is growing fast, but the tomato is also showing signs of getting its very first flower! Unfortunately the weather hasn’t been awesome here; we’re still battling light night frost some nights, and [...]

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 is a lovely sunny day, so I’ll definitely be going for a run later… but before that, I have an update to make here! First, the promised picture of my tiny balcony, where all the “action” will be going on, when spring really kicks in. Note that the kittens normally don’t have access to [...]

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. [...]
