Lenara - Urban Gardening Berlin

Purple radish

Possibly from a seed that got cross pollinated with a purple variety. A nice surprise and added color to my quiche.

This ginger thyme plant became home to a beautiful carpet of moss.

I can now bring my laptop outside and work in the sun, even though last year perennials are not yet re-blooming in the balcony.

I can still snack on a few spicy bolted rocket leaves since they keep going in sub-freezing January temperatures.

Growing on the tarmac. This community garden was once an airfield.

A favorite from Brazil, I am really happy they are growing well here in Berlin.

Lots of color! Hope the cucumber is being lucky on the bee-Tinder, so far only female flowers.

A slightly cracked teacup can become a cozy new home for basil seedlings.

The Brazilian corner at the Mauerpark community garden has a sense of humor.

Plant what you like to eat. You can even get your seeds from the same package you bought for cooking.

Both these plants grew from seeds of tomatoes I bought to eat. I was pleased with their taste so I planted them.

For attracting different types of beneficial insects to overwinter.

These are tiny but pack an incredible amount of flavor in one fruit.
