I am disabled and housebound, I didn't go out as I can't walk very far, I spent most time on the laptop on social media or doing surveys. It shows how much I am housebound after a blood test showed I am severely low on Vitamin D, Which I will have to take for a long time. I am not a very crafty person, I would love to be able to draw or at least achieve something but never got round to anything. I was really bad with negative thoughts, constant downs with depression and very lonely.
UNTIL STEEMIT
In 11 months I have learnt to like who I am, I now think more positive about everything, I don't have as many black times and I have started to get interested in Gardening,
It hasn't been easy but with the help on and supportive messages I have done it, so Thank you for caring enough
I had to start from scratch with my garden as I had nothing to work with, I had earned a little bundle with working on Steemit so put it towards my project, have a Steemit funded Project underway
I now have something I am very proud of, whenever someone visits they have to be taken out to the garden first to see my work. I want to make it better and do more so next year I have bigger plans but that's for next years posts
I have made a video for you all, just to show you in real time what is happening and how its looking now, Can you tell I am buzzing. Steemit community has improved my life, its given me so much more to think about, you have all given me some life back :)
Thank you son-of-satire
Thanks for sharing what you like doing best! Its not boring you so don't let any body say other wise! Voted for you dude! :)

Ah your garden is lovely! I also have a little one going on my balcony. I'm struggling with my lavender though, I snipped some slips off a lavender tree at work, and I followed a YouTube tutorial on propogating lavender. It basically said where to snip it off, plant in moist soil, cover with plastic bags, and they should start sprouting roots. Two weeks later and no roots!! ☹️☹️☹️
Any tips?
I love impatience (spelling!?!), they are so underrated
It's very heartwarming and inspiring to hear how Steemit has made such a difference in your life

As sad as it is, it can be just bad luck or something else is wrong. Different kinds of soil, temperature, humidity etc. can lead to different results.. and of course, every plant is an individual. One trick won't always work.
Some special shops sell some kind of.. substance to help plant grow roots, it might help :)

The garden seems really nice, it seems better than most can grow and upkeep - the best thing is that you can always learn more and do things better next year. Even though you don't control everything.
If I can recommend something, write some memos for yourself. What was good, what was bad, what could have been done differently. Plan for next year and if something went wrong, you can try to find out why.
This way you'll notice how your garden is improving every year in leaps :)

Not boring at all! May I make a suggestion? Grow some vegetables in pits, it is very rewarding! From the look of where you are I would suggest lettuces to begin. Scatter several seeds over the top of your pit and lightly cover with soil and in a few weeks you can harvest. You should get at least 3 harvests. Good luck and happy gardening!
