nasturtium Archive - Road To Walden

While we are spending more and more time dreaming about our new home, and especially the prospect of being closer to nature, we still do enjoy our balcony. Especially now that the plants are growing more and more, and you can see a change every day.

… the morning glory is spiraling its way up along the string I put up, …

… and I wonder how far they will make it until it is time for us to pack.

We’re not there yet, though, so in the meantime …

… we make the best of it. Like delicious, colorful salads.

The blossom came from our own nasturtium, the little flowery sprinkles you see are an herb mixture by Sonnentor. Love!

Even when it’s hot outside, I like to drink my „lupin latte“ – also with sprinkles from Sonnentor (Flower Power). I guess that’s what the Swedes call „Adding a gold rim to the everyday“.

Planting the seed(s)

Besides uploading pictures and doing laundry, I also used my free day to finally do what I have been wanting to do for weeks but put off on accounts of the sucky weather – not that that’s changed but I’ve really had it! Yes, I sowed some seeds. Look:

As you can tell, I used egg cartons to pre-grow seedlings. Even felt compelled to make some labels. Here they are, in case you want plant labels in Swedish/German/English for cilantro, parsley, basil, nasturtium, morning glory (love the name), and tomato. I just printed the page twice and glued them together with a stick I made from cardboard in between.

We’ll see how this grows, I hope.
