Update from the Balcony Garden
A couple of weeks ago I showed you the beginning of my balcony garden project. The goal is to have an array of fresh herbs at my disposal. I mainly use them for cooking, and I am quite the creative with that.
Here are a couple of pictures taken yesterday to show you its progress. It looks like things will go better this year as we've already had more sunshine hours.

Aloe |
You can see how the plants (or pots) looked like here.

Thyme/Timo/Thymian |
![]() |
Sage/Salvia/Salbei |
![]() |
Mint/Menta/Minze |
The first batch of basil seeds were from last year (or maybe older) and it didn't sprout, so I re-seeded it in this pot. In about another week I will move it to the bigger box

Basil/Basilico/Basilikum |
The marjoram will need some rearranging as well. You can clearly see my anarchy approach to putting seeds in the ground.

Marjoram/Maggiorana/Majoran |

Rosemary/Rosmarino/Rosmarin |
As per plan, I went to get some Oregano seeds as well. The sproutlings are still tiny, tiny. I've had a bit of a hard time taking their picture.
I also had to re-seed the parsley, in this case because a cat used the box as toilet whilst it was temporarily placed on the ground. So for now, I'll have to make do with the old one.

Parsley/Prezzemolo/Petersilie |
Sadly, so far I haven't found any Tarragon/Estragone/Estragon seeds or even a little plant.
