It’s more normal to be introverted. You don’t have time to reflect if you are constantly talking to others. May extroverts are waiting for validation from introverted people they want someone to listen to them, constantly it’s so boring ……..
Hi there 👋 I'm really inspired from your balcony garden that I started one myself recently. Where did you buy the plastic plant dome? I think that's a good idea during heavy rainy seasons and winter time from the frost. Please send me a link when possible. Thank you!
You definitely inspired me to start my own balcony garden. This was my first year and I managed to harvest kale, okra, cucumbers, Swiss chard and also chili peppers. Thanks for the inspiration 😃
I gave up trying to grow anything on my balcony in Spring. Everything ends up dead in June due to pests of any kind. I don't mind birds, but I can't control pests at all between May and July (rainy season here). This year was especially bad because it rained continuously. I'll just focus on my Autumn garden now.
U said the soil was too moist, we drill holes in all our containers if there are none. But I love your videos. They are so linked to my lifestyle. Also in the process of growing but in England. Strawberry plants r relatively simple and bear fruits. But it’s constant learning what works and doesn’t! Feel like u have given me hope for my poor tomato plant which has dwindled away. So going to look for new leaves ❤️
Thank you for this wonderful video-I needed all of these thoughts and meditations to find the life that I am searching for at this time-this video was better any other book or RU-vid video that I have watched in searching for help with slow and simple living. Love your channel!❤
Estos vídeos están buenos. Pero debo de Skip siempre porque no hablan hahahah. No tengo tiempo de ver, me gusta escuchar mientras limpio mi casa. Pero felicidades, tienes un bonito balcón ❤❤❤❤
Muchas gracias!! Y te entiendo, los silent vlogs no son para todo el mundo.. y tienen su momento… a mi misma tambien me gusta escuchar video cuando estoy haciendo cosas.. los silent vlogs solo los veo cuando me quiero sentar y relajar 😊
I am extremely introverted - and I hate small talk. I love spending time at home with my cat - who is just as introverted as I am ;) I prefer spring to autumn, but autumn is a close second. Your doggies are so cute! Your vlogs have an incredibly calming effect on me.
It is quite sad that it took Covid lockdowns for so many of us to realize we are introverted. I loved being able to stay at home with my cat. I started painting a year before the first lockdown - something I have wanted to do ever since I was a child. I kept thinking something is wrong with me all my life, until I read Quiet by Susan Cain. I believe people should be allowed to follow their true selves, so we wouldn't regret the time lost. I need my authenticity just as much as the air I breathe. I am slowly leaving behind the "shoulds" and "shouldn'ts" as I listen to myself more.
Wow you sure have a lot of talents. Your plants are beautiful! I don’t have much luck growing things but I adore nature. Your videos are so healing and beautiful! Thank you so much.
Aww thank you! I’m really glad you enjoy the videos 🥰❤️🙏🏻 I used to feel the same way about growing plants but with a lot of trial and error it gets better 😅
I was voted shyest high school senior girl. That was 50 years ago. When I had my music business I was outgoing but things changed after covid. I have long covid ME/CFS. I earned two finance graduate degrees in my 50s while working full time and walked 5 miles a day. I moved to east and work as an accountant. I am worn out. I enjoy my job but am sad about not having the good health I had a few years ago. So many things I’d like to do with my passions for music and sketching. I find its hard to stay balanced when having to deal with people and prefer peace. Thank you for the beautiful video.
I did not know that the mushrooms growing meant the soil was too moist! That is good information. I like how you rearranged things. Poor Maya doesn't like all the little lights floating around. That pineapple plant is unique!
This video is so so beautiful! You're sharing the piece of art with us and I so appreciate it. I really want to have a garden in the future, yet I know it requires a lot of researching and patience. Anyway, your video is just adorable, please, keep doing what you do =)
Thank you for being a part of my journey! Thanks to slow living, 🌱🕯we’ve learned to be more mindful and intentional in our daily activities, savoring each moment rather than rushing through life.Thank you for inspiring me.❤ Fateme Life 🌱🕯 (´。• ᵕ •。`)
I saw a lot of gardeners recommend using neem oil solution as preventative it's with garlic and something i don't rememeber but they say it works, And only you add saop if it's a spot treatment, but the neem oil solution is to prevent insects from laying their eggs in and on your plants in the future, there are alot of videos about it i hope it helps you! Also put insect netting, leave your plant open in the morning and put the insect netting on in the evening, i recommend watching james prigioni's video on that he talked about it and said that it solves 99% of insect problems, i will try both of them out in the future when my plants grow, both seem to be the easiest solutions <3! Good luck gardening <3!
Hi! If I don't buy them I'm gifted Basil and Oregano. I've most currently received Mint plant. I'm going to start from seeds soon. Thank you for your beautiful videos.

This is such a beautiful and peaceful video. Your garden is gorgeous. It is so cute how your dogs enjoy being out there too. You've created a wonderful space with all of your plants. I love it. ❤
Hello there 👋 I love your garden and you sweet pups 🐶! I have a chichi, He is 15 now. The last year or 2 he was having such stiffness in his hind legs . We felt so bad and it was only getting worse every day . Having trouble going potty and falling over while number 2 😢 and couldn’t go up and down steps …We tried PetLabCo - Joint Care Chew It actually worked and fast !!! I was so thankful . He’s getting his mobility back and feels better too I think . Good luck on the summer garden, It loves you ! 🪴 💗 Many blessings
Thank you so much!! 🙏🏻❤️❤️ I’m happy to hear that your chichi is doing so much better now… Bella also struggles from time to time going potty #2 and I have to assist her… I am giving her a different joint vitamin but I will definitely check out PetLabCo. Thanks so much for the recommendation! 🥰🥰
Dear Claudi, I love your balcony garden so much! Yes, we have to face some set backs, but at the end we are happy, aren´t we? :) I have a good season of tomatoes and potatoes, not so good with herbs, there have to be inside, or else they got same strange pests, that nothing helps against it. And YES! The ide idea with the copper protection is genius! Look, many outside gardeners use cooper rings to protect, f.e. their Hostas with it! So why not? I love the way you have used all the space on your balcony and still have the place to sit down and enjoy your hard work. I am fan! Many kisses to Bella and Maya, they are so cute! Cannot wait for your next video! I have a question: How often do you fertilize your balcony plants. I do once a week, I am happy with it, but afraid, if it isn´t too often. Much love from Slovakia. Daniela XX
Hi Daniela!! ❤️❤️ I’m glad to hear that your tomatoes and potatoes are doing good! 🍅🥔 and I’m sorry about the herbs… it’s always something 😪 Right now I am fertilizing every two weeks… I am also afraid that once a week would be too much, but I think it all depends on the fertilizer being used… 🤔
I'm always so impressed by how many plants you fit into that small space, and how you make it look so cozy. My balcony is a little smaller so I'm definitely getting inspiration from your design. I just have houseplants though, so no gardening tips from me. lol. Just a wild jungle vibes over here!🪴
Glad to see you are working through the bird issue!! An idea- can you try stapling some of the netting to the underside of arbor roof to keep birds out?
forgot to mention; I also grow celery in containers. I harvest the leaves also, dehydrate them and make celery salt with them. I also do that with my excess oregano, sage, rosemary. Yummy on roasted veggies or chicken.
I am so happy for you ; even though you had some challenges, the garden is thriving. I know about the birds also; last year, I had chickadees eating my swiss chard and this year, the blue jays are eyeing the grapes and the blueberries. They come and check it out every morning. I let them have their fun; I enjoy giving a bit of blessings to them. I'll wake up one morning and they will all have been picked clean; you'd think they would leave me some. LOL!!
LOL, I would also love to share with them, but I grow on a very small scale-mostly as a learning experience, but still… I wish my building allowed me to put up a bird feeder at least…
your balcony garden is looking wonderful full of yummy eats ,, love seeing wee Bella & Maya x x wee Bella looks as bright as a button despite her mobility slowing down due to her age Maya watches her closely which is so lovely, your garden is an inspiration to all , keep safe, love from the UK..
