There is a big bucket here in the small garden - whatever inside went to the bio trash. I bought a lotus basket and a tiny solar fountain device. Now, we have a water feature in the small garden.
The solar disk can be placed separately, not necessarily in the water, so that it can have a better display on sunny days. With the lotus leaves on the surface, it offers safer access to water for bees and other insects.
Plants are growing well in the containers. I will start giving them bio tomato fertilizer as it can provide necessary nutrients for container plants.
Eggplants are also residents here, as they also have a much better chance to thrive in this garden. Their location has at least 10 hours of strong sunlight on good weather days.
The veggie patch
Meanwhile, the wildflower patch also has some progress; the germination starts.
What I would do this week include:
- put these Dahlia tubers in the containers and then station them in the Dahlia patch. I can't believe it, each of them (premium varieties) costs just one Euro. So I picked those slightly sprouted ones, happy!
- keep cleaning up the rest of the jungle
- buy two or three planters for strawberries
The lawn here also looks terrible. I will sow the grass seeds before it rains.
