A month back....D decided that our balcony looks very drab...so we should try and make it more pleasant looking. So we bought a couple of pots and flower saplings and boy the craze just caught on between the 2 of us.Seeing the flowers bloom outside we decided to get some plants for inside as well.......so now we have a green space inside the house.....It is very calming actually...I especially notice it on sat/sunday mornings (I generally wake up earlier than D and A)....so I get an hour of peace to just have a cup of tea with a book. Since we have had these plants I can just stare at them and have my tea.....it really calms me down.

I ahve always wnated a garden where I can grow my own food......now expecting that in London is like expecting a bit too much......but I decided to try planting some stuff in the balcony......so we planted tomato, lettuce an dbeetroot seeds and withing a few weeks had the little saplings.....now we plan to have the various herbs as well....like mint, coriander, sage etc etc......None of them have given us any fruit as yet but just the effort makes me smile......
