People who know me a bit, know that I like plants. And yes, in my new apartment there are already rather some plants. But also on my balcony I have already rather a nice collection of plants…
But new is that I have there some plants that are useful for cooking (another hobby of mine)…
So there is now a red pepper-plant. There red peppers are really good. I used yesterday one with the dinner I was making and it tasted really well. Nicely sharp, but not that sharp that it destroys your throat.
There is also a plant that we over here in The Netherlands call “Paprika’, but if I am informed well enough this plant is often called “Pepper” in English en Paprika when it is processed to powder. Very confusing….
Anyway the Paprika’s (or Pepper) on this plant need to mature a bit more.
An Strawberry-plant is already there as well, but this plant still has to bloom. So I may happy if there will be one strawberry there this year. But I am patient :).
The plan is also to raise some herbs that I use often in the kitchen. Herbs as parsley, thyme, dill and basil.
And all these useful plants are standing between very good looking plants and Fuchsia’s and Lupine. Hmm, I must have to get some Lavender as well. I love the smell of Lavender.
Who said that a balcony is useless and that you cannot do anything with it?
Very nice, Rob. Can I order those? 🙂
I really need to make time to come and visit youre wonderfull home and garden….
Yes Patrick, you really should. Rob has done a wonderful job on his house and balcony. And he has still many more plans.
I have been there now twice and I really felt at home there. Sadly I have soon to go for some more weeks to the US, but I am looking forward to spend time with Rob in his house.
