Today we have a free
topic.
I am going to write
about something I like and something that makes me happy. “Plants”.
I have always wanted to live out the city but the possibility to buy a house is
becoming less and less of a chance, so in 2011 started growing stuff on my balcony. I decided on this after watching a documentary
called “food inc”. In this , they speak about how very few corporations have
become the owners of all food. I started
reading about the pesticides and which vegetables tend to absorb them the most
(it is the green ones!). Since I have
always been a city person I went to a “vegetable workshop” and after that, I
bought all the necessary elements for this.
Pots, soil, and other stuff.
The first seeds I got were for tomatoes, spring onion and
chives. Later I got coriander, parsley and lettuce . Nowadays I have also
Matico, llantén and a lot of flowers. I
like flowers with loud colors.
I like the idea of
growing stuff without chemicals. It tastes different. It tastes good and it is cheaper :)
I also have a lot of
worms for hummus (natural fertilizer) in case you want some...
I like the plants too, my uncle has a vegetable patch and every time i go to his house , i take a look of it.
ReplyDeleteI love plants too. My grandma and grandpa live in a little piece of land in the hills of "El Tabo". They seeded a lots of kind of flowers, even we have one kind of flower that are the heritage of my great-grandmother. When I moved to my old apartment, my grandma gave to me a lot of plant and herbs, that I used have in my balcony like salvia, oregano, eucalyptus, mint, mellisa, chamomile and some flowers too, but, when I moved from there, i gave the plants to my old roommates.
ReplyDeleteWhen i find new place i'm going to ask you for some worms..=)

ReplyDeleteWhat a coincidence!
ReplyDeleteLast week with my mom and sister decide to have our own garden. We bought lettuce, tomatoes, carrots and a lot of herbs.
Cultivate what you eat is the best option
It's very entertaining! The fruits and vegetables when they grow without chemicals, those are very different! I had a vegetable garden (maybe in my house, we will make a new) and I harvest tomatoes with a incredible flawor: I never had eaten a tomatoes that! It´s very different the flawor of vegetables grown for one!!
