on the balcony garden

Yesterday* I finally bought the plants

and set up the vertical part of

the balcony garden

not quite according to plan

since the original idea was 

COLOUR

which then manifested mostly in greens

(though lots of different ones certainly)

somehow I got caught up in herbs

(and still have no cilantro!)

I wonder how long it will last

because this felt-like material can't hold any water

so it'll need lots of watering

while it's this hot

I also took the time and effort

to reply to my prison pen pal

on the new (and slightly frustrating)

hanging table

it was a very warm but bearable evening

in a bikini top

(friends on chat told me previously that

the balcony counts rather

to my flat than to the street)

and there was a mild wind

just enough to keep mosquitos at a bay
