The balcony makes room for a garden!
Posted: Sat Nov 02, 2019 9:00 am
Hi everyone,
We have a huge challenge coming up! We are leaving the balcony building for a real garden. This plot is still on the south side in full sunlight, luckily nothing changes about that, but we also have the neighbours fences creating shadows. This requires a lot more planning, which crops to put where? And besides there are some bushes growing in this garden, left by the previous land owner. They have to be pulled out of the ground with roots and all. In the meantime the winter is coming and if the ground freezes up, which already happened once, it becomes much more difficult to dig into it! Time is causing a bit more pressure for us to get the garden ready before the end of the year, so next year all the new crops can be placed into it. We absolutely do not want to miss out on that, because next year we really want to enjoy our home grown veggies and fruits again.
In the mean time I'll try to post a few updates here and there. Hopefully we can receive some tips from forum professionals in the process and inspire others to co-create a garden too!
