A late summer garden

Posted on by

Late August and early September, 2023


Just a quick post here, but one that I’m quite proud of – the final stage of my balcony garden!

It’s been going strong all summer, growing by leaps and bounds in the hot weather and drinking up a frankly impressive amount of water throughout the heat and sun. The hops have grown crazy, and I’ve frankly kind of given up on trellising them in any meaningful semblance of order – they grow wild now, searching and clawing around the beams and each other.

It’s beautiful, though, getting to see how big they’ve all grown. The spiderplants are huge and verdant, with gloriously deep green leaves. The hanging pot is already on its second stage of growth, and some of the flowers have already bloomed, died, and are now blooming again.

I adore gardens and growing things.

“How’s your garden going?”, you may ask… well, the answer is that Hops vines grow like crazy, and that I’m already having to train them back and try to convince them not to engulf my entire apartment building.

Okay, maybe it’s not THAT intense… but hey! Check out how crazy they’re going!


And also check out my Avocado trees! And the neighbors little garden box! And I went to the Portland Nursery to get MORE SEEDS!

…

I’m excited, okay?

A Wilsonville relaxation – The start of a Garden

March, 2023


While I was away in Dublin, my garden was busily growing and sprouting! I’d left some planted seedlings and dormant hops, and came back to stalks reaching out of the dirt by nearly two full feet… not to mention my indoor plants happily sprouting upward (though looking a little thirsty, I’ll freely admit…)

My first few evenings back in the States, I took it easy. I unpacked, organized all the fun things I brought home, caught up with friends, and cared for the growing things in my care. I watered, I fertilized, and I pruned where necessary.

Mostly, I appreciated the greenery, being in my own home, and the quiet of living outside the city.
