This is my second year gardening. It all started when I fell in love with lupins (since I’m from Nova Scotia) and I wanted to grow them away from home (I was in Quebec at the time). I’ve learned a lot since then.
This year, I’ve been growing lupins (way too many lupins), mustard (because I wanted to know how big a mustard plant really grew from reading the Parable of the Mustard Seed), wheat (yes, the grain), basil, violas, mint, English ivy, coffee, and a bunch of other miscellaneous plants.
I grow a rather eclectic assortment of plants, not because they are necessarily easy plants, but plants I find interesting. I started growing wheat because, as a grass, I knew they grew quickly, and being a millennial, I am impatient.
I live in a condo, so I don’t have a lot of space to grow plants, plus, my balcony faces east, so I don’t get full sun, which limits what plants I can grow. There are some plants that I am growing that aren’t growing super well because they don’t get enough sun. They’re surviving but aren’t super happy.
When I get a bit more time, I might write a post about each of my plants, my success, failures, and lessons learned.
