BALCONY GARDENING (Growing basil & tomatoes)

in #urbangardening β€’ 3 years ago (edited)

It's been three months since we moved into our new place that we called now our "second home".😊We are only renting for the moment since we couldn't figure out yet where to settle down either going back to Europe or maybe move somewhere in Asia or staying here in Cebu. Or might fly to Mars. πŸ˜ƒWho knows? πŸ˜€ Plans are changing every year. And the pandemic just make it more harder.The restrictions,protocols and whatsoever.😢

When we moved here. I DECIDED to do more and focus in gardening. Since we have a balcony that is facing the morning susshine rays. I'M A PLANT ADDICT and I love growing vegetables too. In our first home. We manage to grow some tomatoes,red & green chillis,sweet basil, pepperment and more. And it is super rewarding. Here are some of them.

I was very happy when I got to see the results of my mini garden. We only have small balcony too before. But watching your veggies growing and bear fruits. That's another story.

As we move here to our new place.We aim to have more tomatoes and basil. They have grown very easily from seeds. We love tomatoes for our daily morning toasted bread for breakfast and pasta pesto for some pasta craving dinner. So, we decided to grow more of them. And the result was amazing. We had some flowering tomatoes. Growing fruits tomatoes from small tiny one into big ones. Our basil pots were really producing a lot of leaves and they look very very healthy. I already shared my basil to our neighbor and my zumbamate. Sharing is caring. πŸ˜‰πŸ˜πŸŒ±

They're thriving.Aren't they beautiful? πŸ’šπŸŒ±Look at those gigantic green leaves. IF YOU COULD JUST SMELL IT.It calms me down and my heart is full just watching them. πŸ˜»πŸ’šWhat an achievement so far!

And of course my tomatoes. I can't wait to harvest and have them on my toasted bread one day. I know, my exageration about my tomatoes snd basil were super extra and immeasurable but it just makes me happy and make me proud of doing the things that I love the most. πŸ’šπŸŒ±πŸˆ

You might consider planting and growing basic veggies at home.

You just need some pots and with the help of Mr.sun and a lot of checking,watering and viola. You will have your own tiny, precious,amazing, incredible garden space.😁 Baby steps!As I always said πŸ‘£And you will see the results eventually.

Planting plants are not just helping you to eat healthy food because you're the one who takes care of it. As you said it calms your heart and it's very true. I'm not sure how to say it but plants do have magic tricks to ease someone's feelings. But I noticed your plants have beautiful leaves. For sure it will provide a good harvest in the future.

Your balcony garden is wonderful,such a nice addiction.
It is great to see that your work and time made all of this.
It is always more tasteful when you know that you grow it yourself.
Maybe I start to plant veggies at home. πŸ˜€

beautiful tomatoes, how long have you been growing them?

For two months now. They're facing morning sun. So they grew fast. Thank you! πŸ…untitled.gif

Your garden on the balcony amazed and delighted me! Now I also want to grow such a crop on my balcony!

Awwwwh. Thanks! Do it. While it's still summertime πŸ…πŸŒ±πŸ‘ŒπŸ½untitled.gif

That’s great to see! I’m glad that you’ve got quite a few plants going. It’s important to grow what we can, it’s the cleanest way we can consume things most of the time! Plus it feels and smells great to sit out there. I think basil and peppermint keep away a lot of the bugs too so that’s an added benefit for your deck. Our deck is very peaceful during the day since we have 6 basil plants lol

Totaly agree! Oh thats interesting. I will plant more and added peppermint. Hahhaa

Haha we started a mini garden at home too last year as the pandemic started and we have the same plants. 😊 now it's more than just vegetables since my momma have been addicted to taking care of my plants. Now She owned it already and she gets mad whenever my daughter pluck them out🀣

P.s.

If you're moving back to Europe, regards sa mga gwapo. Single mom waving🀭🀣
