The latest addition to my balcony-garden is a pear-or-apple-tree. We don’t know yet. It might take a year or two before we do. I placed it next to the bay-tree, I’m sure they’ll get along.
I will document this tree as much as possible, who knows what it’ll do!
The plants in general grow really well. I can harvest roughly one salad per week, very nice :)
I got a pretty good harvest today, thanks to the sweet pepper-plant I bought. I harvested two of those small peppers, one small cucumber and three little tomatoes (I grow mostly small varieties because the plants usually also stay smaller).
What started out as a way to keep the sun out in the summer has turned into this contest with myself, seeing how much of my own food I can grow on my own balcony. No need to blame the recession here, I enjoy doing this ;)
I have watched tons of movies on Youtube and read websites about growing your own food and the more I watch the more I realise I could still grow more!
I have this feeling people start to look at me oddly, as if I’ve gone crazy… I haven’t, really ;)
My balcony garden seems to do well. The weather goes from sunny to cloudy to sunny again, and I have watered when needed. My seedlings seem to grow very well, I blame this on the southern location of my balcony.
My drawing-rhythm seems disturbed so I use my garden as my creative outlet. Seems to work out well. I keep a gardening journal at MyFolia which helps me track the progress of my plants.
Still very tired and barely have the energy to do the stuff I need to do, not to mention the stuff I want to do (the gardening seems my max now). Going to the doctor again on Tuesday, for recurring eye-issues. I wonder when my body will stabilise… (dear body, it’s about time. Really!)
This past week I’ve mostly played around with my digital photos (I have so many…).
I bought the bundle at the MUPromo and it came with Posterino. Playing with it for a while I managed to create some cool collages of photos (from my balcony) and combining it with a template I made in Pixelmator I created a little card with a polaroid-effect. I may have overworked myself a little cause I went a little nuts with scanning paper for the effect and the colours and such. But at least I enjoyed it :)
I bought Brushes the iPhone app and tried my hand at a few drawings. I have no real clue what I’m doing, but these are my first two.
