Greetings to the whole community 🌱!

In my previous post I made a comment about the garden that is common to all the neighbors in my building, and about the ornamental plants that we each have and take care of at the entrance of our apartments. I also wrote about the desires to start my own garden project at home and to plant my own plants. Well today I come to tell about both, I am happy that I finally started my little home garden project.

In my case I don't have a yard with land where to plant and that's why I never decided to plant anything, I liked more to admire the gardens of others and see how people take care of them, but I confess that was an excuse, so no more, that is changing. But first I'll tell you a little about another garden that I really like.

My Building's Garden

In my neighborhood, there are few free-standing houses and lots of apartment buildings. The good thing is that each building has its own garden, even if some are nicer and better kept than others, each one is unique. All the gardens are divided, that is, in front of each of the access stairs there is a plot of land with a garden. Someday, I would like to show you the most beautiful ones.

The neighbors on the first floor are usually the ones who tend the garden the most. Each one plants what he/she likes the most. Usually they plant flowers and plants for decoration, but there are also those who prefer to give another more practical use to the garden and plant other things, I have seen some tomatoes, pumpkin and even corn 🌽🍅🎃.

These are some photos of the garden that is on the first floor, which I pass by every day every time I go in and out.

There are also plants sown in pots in front of the entrance of each apartment, and everyone is in charge of watering the ones they have on their floor. There are two apartments on each floor, so there are two of us to take care of them. What I like most is that they are all different and there is a nice variety.

Now let's talk about me, or rather about my new plants, I finally decided and planted some oregano seedlings that I got from a nearby organoponic. They gave me the plants and instructed me to cut them at one end and plant them, so I did. I planted three, but I don't think they are all going to survive; one wilted because the stem blackened 😢, I really don't know why, that makes me a little sad.

Also, my sister gave me some rosemary stalks from her garden. She told me to leave them in water until they grew roots. Now they are planted and I love the way they look. I don't have pots yet so I had to improvise, when they grow bigger I will look for nicer pots to transplant them in.

It has been raining too much these days, the sky is very cloudy and the sun has hardly come out, I hope this humidity does not affect them too much. I give them love, I water them and every time the sun comes out I put them to keep them warm 🤗.
