I have been wanting to go back to growing plants in my balcony and now I’m again in a place where that’s possible. Gardening has a way of keeping my mind busy and relaxed, plus I will have a few aromatic herbs.👩🏼🌾
Copenhagen climate is similar to the Northern Portuguese village of Castro D’Aire, so I’m hopeful that what I learned while living there will be of some use.
This time I started with some aromatics and I plan to also grow ornamental plants.
Choose the plants you like and Google them.
The first step is to find plants that will be adequate to the environmental conditions of the place were they will be put. The intensity of sun light, how often they need to be watered and the temperatures that they will stand.
It’s also a good practice to visit some local plant nurseries and see what type of plants the are selling. There is a greater chance of buying a well adapted plant in a local shop, plus you can ask for some advice on how to grow them.
Have fun!
