The 5. 9 square metre balcony was filled with tomatoes, cloves, lemons and blueberries, which were sealed for seven days without breaking food, and people lost a few pounds of weight. It sounds like a story, but shenzhen's illustrator, echo, has been holding on for six years, and she was seen overnight during this year's epidemic。
Pumping up the balcony and growing the whole garden
The northern balcony of echo covers only 5. 9 square metres, but is filled with tomatoes, cloves, lemons and blueberries. In the days of this year's epidemic, tomatoes are at their peak, and the most sophisticated ones are finished, and the new fruit is red and the supply is never broken. The family members were just enough to eat more than usual and feel better。
In the winter of 2020, she inserted a sapling of vanilla fruit, which grew slowly in the cold and strung in the summer. The bees pollinated after the fall flower, the flowers closed that night, and the fruits were hung the next day, with one hanging under each leaf. She was afraid of the risk of falling into a high-altitude pitch, cutting dozens of them in a single breath。
The seal hasn't had a fight in seven days
The shanghai sealing day, echo and his husband never had a fight. Every day he ate his expertise in the house and she managed every plant on the north balcony without interference. One day he suddenly said, "our feelings should be really strong. "the closure ended with a few pounds of weight, a healthier body and a much more stable mood。
There is also a parrot named chicken, an indispensable part of the family. Echo specifically assigned it to be the "housekeeper" on the north balcony and patrol every day on the shelf. I didn't think the chicken fell and blueberries were pollinating, and now blueberries have a lot of fruit. In the days when the chicks stood on echo's shoulder and fell asleep, she felt nothing was missing, and life was like a fairy。
The turn between growing flowers and growing vegetables
Echo used to plant flowers, and the mentality changed completely when the spring festival outbreak began in 2020. It was hard to buy food on the internet, and her husband had to dump a lot of oil and had to buy a lot of food to keep people from knowing. She was concerned about the loss of vegetables and was starting to stick in the leftovers, which could be cut in a few days. She was determined to remove many flowers and free the entire northern balcony to plant vegetables and vegetables。
Three or four laps of cheap lemon seedlings to the flower world. Her husband didn't like telling her not to be greedy. She had to buy it. He left it to her. When she bought it, she spent a great deal of time studying what to put on, how to trim it, and when the lemon rose, it had to be artificially pollinated, and the petals fell before the small fruit. The tree has been hanging fruit since last year until now, and the florist asks where she bought it, and the boss doesn't believe it。
My husband's mixed fish and vegetables
The cycling system of the green wall and fish tank on the balcony was designed by echo's husband himself. He buys materials from different vendors, learns to assemble on the internet, drains water from the fish tank to the top of the green wall for irrigation, feeds the plant directly from fish dung, and filters the water back to the fish tank for feeding. One minute an hour with the millet smart switch, completely free of manual fertilization。
In fact, at the beginning, echo said he was going to plant food on the balcony, and her husband was against it. Now he sits on the balcony with a stool and feels comfortable in the fragrance. Plant photosynthesis releases a lot of oxygen. North balcony looks like natural oxygen. Green growers and small fish live together for mutual benefit, much better than alone, and couples often say at the same time, "it's so comfortable at home" than living in a big house。
Planting is the best way to relieve pressure
Echo is an illustrator, so don't look at her gardening and her work is very stressful. Ten hours a day to the computer, the eyes dry until the eye drops, the eyes are blurred. Sweets can relax for a short time, but they are afraid to grow fat, and the pressure is so high that she once wanted to leave shenzhen. She then began to think that in this city, too, she could turn the day into a field rhythm in small towns。
Asked her how hard it was to grow so many plants, she said that the process of doing what she liked was in itself a harvest. Instead, the balcony is resting, and the eye and internal pressure are released. The last time she had milk tea was two months ago, half the time she had it. This big balconies gives her much more value than she spends time and energy on it。
Several small practical planting proposals
Echo's been here six yearsCultivation experienceIt summarizes a few very low-threshold proposals: growing onions and garlic during the season, which can be cut in more than a week; seeding chicken cabbage, which can wait for at least a month; and sprouts of tara, which can be grown directly into a basin, with large leaves and good looks, especially for a small balcony. The cost of these tests is almost zero, and they can survive。
When the balcony light is insufficient, a plant light can significantly accelerate growth. Precipitous fruit must be cooked and trimmed in the trees, and it becomes acidic when taken off; when the lemon blossoms, artificially pollinated in time, otherwise the seating rate is low. Echo's growing is being watched by a lot of fans, and they're saying, "this is my dream" and it's like you're not afraid to seal the city。
