Garden on my living room

Here we can't make a kitchen garden outside, so then we just need to have it in our living room. It's just a small one, but anyhow, it's fun to grow some green stuff.


In early April I sowed some herbs and salads. They were growing just in our windowsills behind the other plants.

You don't need to have any special green fingers for to grow some watercress or herbs. Behind watercress there are growing pumpkin seedlings. In early May we started to see again through the kitchen window when snow behind it started to melt. Now also plants in the kitchen can get some light.
When my seedlings were growing too big, I needed to make some place for them by the window. So it was time to move my "forest" on the other place. Anyhow, it's little bit too hot for them by the window when the sun is shining on them over night.
Actually we haven't seen out through the window for ages because there has been a thick vegetation on the way. Now we have to enjoy the view as long as it's lasting.
The first round of harvesting has already started. Herbs and salads are already eatable sizes and soon we're getting also radish.
I haven't tried pumpkin before. It will be exciting to see if they will produce some small pumpkins.  They aren't having any special big pots to grow in, but they are fertilized with horse muck.
Tomatoes need also a long period of growth before we can enjoy results.

Whatever this plant is, I don't think it's anyhow beautiful. But suddenly it started to flower, so it got a pardon to be thrown on a litter bin.
