beautiful @simplymike :) how have a never noticed you are such a brilliant gardener and herbalist?? well I learned something new today! what an amazing space - I hope to one day have one myself. My father rented space in a public garden and I did help him a bit with it - I may rent my own next spring.

brilliant is a big word... I make it up as I go along :0)

About 20 years ago, I had a small balcony on which I grew mostly herbs, snce I was very interested in natural medicine at the time. But living in the city, it was not easy to keep that up.

I has actually almost forgotten all about it, until I turned my entire life around and moved in with my girlfriend about 5 years ago. She lived outside of the city and has a big garden. I was unemployed at the time, and saw this as a great new hobby. What started with one square foot raised bed, quickly got out of hand, lol.

I like experimenting, and with a farm that specializes in old, forgotten and unknown veggies & fruits just around the corner, experimenting is a breeze :0) Plenty of unknown crops to try out every year.

I love my garden... mainly because it's my stress-free zone (most of the time, at least). I spend my entire life overthinking everything, and somehow, in my garden, I am spontaneous. I don't follow 'rules' or do a whole lot of research.. like I said: I'm making it all up as I go along. It's really liberating :0)
