my mini farm on the 6th floor

This is how my balcony looks like now! :)

eatable balcony decoration

My wild strawberries are basking in the sun :) First one turned red already and looks very very tasty... Maybe it's not perfectly rounded ;) but it's eco, organic and mine :P I have to say that wild strawberries  are very easy to keep in a container garden, they grow fast, don't need good soil (it's a good idea to mix soil you have with some sand!), don't need much fertilizing. Wild strawberries look also very nice, they have plenty of little white flowers and those small red fruits also make a pretty decoration - and then you can eat them! ;) However, I'll keep mine for my nephew who's coming tomorrow :)    

first strawberries

I noticed first wild strawberries growing! :) I was afraid that 6th floor is too high for bees, but maybe some did come, or maybe wind was just enough... Anyway I'm looking forward to first fruits from my little balcony garden! :)

empty balconies

This is how my tomatoes look like now :) As you can see they are twice as big! They are not suppose to grow much more and I'm looking forward for the flowers to bloom :)
I looked at other balconies in my building, but only two people have some flowers and that's it! Maybe they will take a look at my balcony within a month, see fruits and veggies and think that it's a good idea indeed ;) Every little step we take can make a difference.

wild strawberries

There are new babies in the family :) I bought two wild strawberry seedlings, as you can see they have some flowers already. I really like wild strawberries, they are small but full of flavor! I just hope they will grow well :)
