Today Dan_e and me went to the market to buy some plants for my balcony at the back of my house. It’s facing north but that never bothered me or limited me in buying the plants I want. Somehow everything I put there will grow, if I give it enough TLC. Lately I’ve been neglecting the plants there and the result is this:

Okay.. I admit it does look green but most of these green plants are weeds.. not the plants I planted. So O got some herbs, a lot of lavender and some other blue and purple plants, some grass for the kittens and here we go, much better:

And from below it looks like this:

And just to “show of” here are the balconys form my upstairs neighbours…

Pretty boring huh?? lol I guess they are missing the green thumb. No idea why its called green anyway, my hands and nails were black after the whole afternoon putting my hands in the soil. I think I did pretty ok, for a city girl

Vanmiddag zijn Dan_e en ik plantjes en kruiden wezen kopen op de markt. Ik ben de hele middag bezig geweest en zeer tevreden over het resultaat. Ik weet overigens nietw aarom ze het groene vingers noemen, die van mijn waren zwart

Op de foto’s de “voor” en “na” plaatjes, hoe het er vanaf de gezamelijke tuin uitziet en even opscheppen dat mijn balkon toch wel erg mooi is, vergeleken met de saaie bovenburen.
