Life on the Balcony — Round Two

Greetings, Fellow Germinators!

How have your crops been?

When I write here, it's about two major branches of planted life experiments so far. One in the garden and another one — on the balcony.

This one is about the latter. Some months ago, I shares series of photos and thoughts on what was going on in the pots. It all dried and died in the end when we skipped a beat and we went out of town for a dew days with no preparation. Some sort of dripping should have been put in place.

Some time later, I did use the same soil to plant new seeds of various kind and for a while I thought nothing was happening. I kept watering the dirt, though.

And then, after a longish pause, and in a matter of days...

Seeds upon seeds upon seeds.

Yeah, when one thing would not germinate I did move to the next. This is still the experimental phase for us.

Beans, at last. At least...it started on its way up. A fun sort it should have bean ;) since I know I planted no casual white small ones.

I have to mark the sorts next time.

Carrots again. I have them in many places, waiting for some of them to grow now. Soon to take out some from the garden, I guess. Those on the balcony shall have to wait some more.

It could be Basil. Or could it...?

I think I am waiting on some Dill, cherry tomatoes, strawberries to show their colors. Or not. And I shall certainly conduct more experiments in autumn. Till then, time to learn how to make these survive the summer heat without me for a week.

I need a system and soon.
