Re: Greetings
I start them off behind the windows and when the weather is good I harden them of and keep them on the balcony. I haven't had much luck these last few years (mainly due to poor maintenance) but I've got a feeling this will be my lucky year.

Re: Greetings

I only have a balcony to grow on at the moment and although it is a nice size, it comes no where near your 800m2. Lovely to meet other people from our small country here ...

Re: ish poetry
Only you and the paper
Emptiness
Put down your lines and write
Every stroke has meaning
The letters telling
The message on paper
