THE GARDEN

I started gardening a year ago, when I got my own place. I used to be a real internet person, barely outside, always gaming, isolated. 2 Years ago i stopped gaming among other things, and redescovered my love for nature. Taking walks, admiring the plants and insects, and of course, keeping an garden. It has been a learning curve for me honestly, and last year almost all my outside plants died aside from one lavender plant. I wanna post updates on my current garden here and talk about stuff that happens there that I find fascinating or perhaps a bit insightfull.

[23/06/25] Current state of my garden, what have I done?
Heya! My first update on my garden, I've been busy this season to transform my small and barren garden into a cozy place to relax at. I first got some old pots from family, or found them discarded on the street, and filled them with seeds. I got this cool looking chest thingy which I transformed into a garden bed, got some outside carpets, made 2 plant boxes from discarded planks, and put an rose arch in them. As a final touch i added some cheap furniture to sit at, and an parasol so I can sit in the shade. A few days ago I got the parasol and I am so, so very happy with how it turned out!!!
As for my plants, I wanna add them further down this webpage, where I talk a bit about why I choose those plants, along with some trivia I find interesting maybe.

I try to grow everything from seeds, aside from the ocasional plant that is food-grade, because almost all plants you can buy here in the Netherlands have been treated with nasty chemicals, and if an bee for example lands on it, chances are that it will be poisened. So I like growing plants from seeds so the insects can enjoy them as well, without worry!
