With a full blown-spring, great weather and carte blanche to extend the "garden", i went to one of my favourite places in the hopes of bringing home some cuttings to plant. I hadn't been at that particular spot for a few months now and went there to find an empty and grassy area with only a few Salvia officinalis "purpurascens", the ever existant Spearmint and few dry Lemon Verbenas. What a shame. But not all is lost! I was told that next saturday is the 3rd weekend of the "Spring Faire", an event for the locals to buy cheaper organic food, produce, folk crafts and, of course, plants!
The place i got alloted to do as i please aint that great. I get a bit of walkable roof and a small balcony turned to the east that has been completly neglected during the winter months. I'm still not sure what to do with the plants that already have a residence there. Some are still alive, altough in terrible shape and the others only seem to be a hotel for weeds. The remainder of this week (a full day yay!) will be used to plan where to put the newcomers and work something out with the green residents of the luxurious balcony. All will be temporary because i plan on building some large wooden containers, so for now the "hotels" will have to do.
The best part of the day was finding a local beeswax provider. In it's golden glory, the smell of the wax filled the kitchen whilst i fought it relentlessly in an effort to break it into chunks, and the chunks into pieces, and the pieces into little pieces.
Yes, today was a really good day.
