Time to start up the balcony garden again! It’s a bit of a late start this year, but to be honest, the weather has been absolute shit until recently. Now it’s awesome though; 20c days and plus degrees all night, so all is well. I really should have done a “before” picture – I spent [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Damnit! Just checked the weather forecast, and they’re saying night frost night between Monday and Tuesday now. Then again, they said rain today originally, and that’s kind of off the forecast now, so I really hope they’re wrong! Oh well, I’ll manage if frost kills off stuff. But I just hope it doesn’t…

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, [...]

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 [...]
