my mini farm on the 6th floor

This is how my balcony looks like now! :)

the secret life of chives

Do you remember when I said that my sister thinks I grow grass in a pot? Yes, that was my chives. I was wondering why it is so thin and doesn't look like chives in a shop? I discovered the truth, maybe everyone knows it already, but anyway ;) - you have to cut it! Anytime you cut it it's regrowing thicker and stronger :) It is going to be very thick soon, since I use it almost everyday. It's so nice to sprinkle some fresh chives over goat cheese or scrambled eggs - lovely breakfast! :)

Within my herbs I planted also some chives. It seemed to be growing really slowly... my sister even asked me if it is grass! ;) However it's finally looking good and almost ready to eat. As you can see on the photo, finally weather is good enough to put my plants back on the balcony :)

adopt a tomato :)

Surprisingly, when I mentioned to my friends that I have too many plants they immediately said they can adopt some of them! :) That's fantastic news, because tomatoes are all growing fast and I don't have enough space. It's also good that the idea of keeping your own veggies on the balcony just got a tiny bit more popular ;)

I'm already using my own herbs in the kitchen, especially basil for salads :) I've got really loads of coriander, I'm not really sure what can I use fresh coriander for?
