RE: In Paris, in the peaceful Private Mansion of the Museum of Romantic Life

Probably only in early autumn as I have to water my balcony garden EVERY day! If I don't give them water every morning, my tomatoes and chillis looks like they never had water by lunchtime 😂 There are people who could help with watering of our garden, but I don't have family here, so I have nobody who would come to water our balcony every day.

I hope you will still live in Paris by then 🙂

Sort:  

Oh yeah, a garden is such a beautiful thing but also a super demanding one ! Could you not install a watering system, even for some of the plants that need the most ?

Finally, I’m buying a car in few days and we’re organizing a first move of stuff from Paris. But I will still be around for sure :)

On the balcony it's a bit tricky as we get full sun from 7am to 4pm (even a bit later), so it would need to be a lot of water somehow.. well, we already accepted that this summer will be in Switzerland, but will need to do it differently next year otherwise we'll get crazy 🙂 I think 7 tomatoes, about 50 chilis, 1 pepper, 15 salads, 4 kohlrabies, 4 strawberries, 10 onions and about 20 herbs plants might be a bit too much for a balcony😂 Yes, we have a big balcony 😂 and it became our own private jungle..

Congratulations on your decision! I can't imagine my life without a car now. It will give your life a lot of flexibility 🙂

Wow, ah yeah ! You really put a lot of plants haha, this is really awesome and you’re making me curious to see some pictures !!

Maybe a dropping system could works as it’s adding water at a slow and regular rate, but for sure, for this quantity of green, it would be quite an installation ;)

You know, I’m even dreaming of driving now, I just have my full license (pass the automatic one previously) and now, I’m really impatient to have this freedom you’re talking about..!

Take good care and bravo for your garden, this must have been quite a effort and pleasure of course!

Maybe you can send me some pictures on Discord..?

We eat a lot of vegetables 😂 We're getting pickling cucumbers and snap peas already and they are so delicious! I can't wait for tomatoes and peppers 🙂 Peppers are still very tiny, so I hope that they will have enough time to give me fruit and ripen.

Indeed, that would probably not work that easily. We will go somewhere at the end of summer, so hopefully we will be ready with the harvest by then.

I got my drivers license when I was 18, then I didn't drive for 12 years, got a car and now can't live without it. It was a bit of an adjustment to drive after such a long time, but now it's like my second arm or leg for that matter 😂

I have an alt account for garden, cooking (when I have time) and short walks. I have recently posted something from the garden as well as balcony. You can check it out: @plantfuljourney

Ah, I knew something was up with that account's profile picture ! I'm going to have a look around today :)

Sorry for the late reply, I'm just back from a few adventures... and they don't seem to be about to end haha... especially about the car, I'm really looking forward to being able to drive too :)) !

Have a great new week ahead 😘
