The upper picture was taken on march, 20th, this year. The of the herbs where purchased at a local garden center, the parsley was actually from the grocery store and survived the entire winter in just that small plastic container. Now it lives in my herb bed. The lower picture was taken yesterday. As you can see, the mint kinda exploded. The nasturtium seed I dropped in there sprouted too. Guess I need a bigger herb bed.
Some might say this is just a balcony but technically this space is on the roof of the ground floor flats kitchen, so yes, it’s a roof garden. =p And it has everything a normal garden has. A tree, 2 raised flower beds (seeds already in there, waiting to sprout) and even a raised herb bed. Minus a lawn you would have to mow every week and weeds you would have to go after constantly. Also, a much better view and sun the entire day.
While sitting on my friends porch, enjoying a afternoon coffee, we discovered this lil fella struggling for his life in a spider web just below the porch roof. We rescued him and put him in a safe spot where he could clean out all that nasty spider web. As you can see, it messed with all his precious pollen harvest. When he was done, he let me take this photo and then flew off home to his hive.
