Last year, I blogged about me having some plants in my window.  My own very mado (window) garden.

Well, you’ll probably (HAHA) be happy to hear that it’s going great and has extended to outside my window (aka, literally outside) as my room was starting to look a bit like a jungle.

I don’t know why (maybe it’s because I’m getting old or perhaps because I have no children or pets) but having plants in my room to care and look after is sort of fun. When I first began it was more for decoration. Having a little green in the room always gives it a little life (pun intended)!

However, recently my plants have moved outside and now I am caring for a tomato, eggplant, green pepper and basil plant.  I’ve had a couple failures in the past with some of the plants however slowly but surely I can see that I am improving. There is something about eating vegetables that you have cared for and raised (although I’ve only eaten the basil so far!). I imagine when you are eating them you have a feeling you can’t get from eating any other food.

It’s also fun to think about all the meals I can cook with them when they are ready.  I’m excited!
