First stages of my balcony garden this year. The garden is doing amazingly well. I have to get more photos tomorrow. I have arugala, carrots, passionfruit, morning-glory, raspberry, lemon grass, goose-berries, strawberries (they didn’t do so well this year though) and some random other things, some of which I am not sure what they are…and of course our beautiful but hungry cat, Mishka.

Although my partner grumbles and complains to high heaven about the smell while I am making kimchi, he usually eats it up and wants more.
