How lovely! I’ve gotten pretty good at growing vegetables, but flowers, not so much.
Just a rock-licker who loves all things sci-fi, boardgames, and growing my own food, especially heirloom tomatoes.

Poland has a variety of hardiness zones, which will determine how much longer you have in your growing season. I would suggest things like brassicas (which include kale and broccoli), as they can handle temperatures a bit below freezing. But keep in mind the size of your balcony, as they can get pretty big.
If you can buy seedlings of annual herbs like parsley, dill, basil, there’s still time for a good harvest even in the colder areas of Poland. Do you have space where you can bring some pots inside?
Fair point, I have flown too close to the sun before, and used so little water that my pasta came out with undercooked clumped spots. So reduce water volume with care.
I usually use as little water as I can get away with, as the resulting pasta water is much more starchy and works better in sauces.
Huh, how odd. Not what I would have expected, but in that case, go for flavor!
Interesting, what about a version with a little bit of both, for both the taste and smell?
Yum, I haven’t tried chocolate sprinkles before, how’s the taste?
Heck yeah, I’ve been trying to post both here and on a couple of my communities at .world. I’ve mostly been going through my old, never-posted photos for some good OC, but think I might also start scavenging my ex-reddit account. Anything for content and to keep up the momentum!
It used to be popular among European landowners to have a garden hermit as part of the landscaping decor.
Ugh, I’ll be on the venting side. I drew the short straw and had to do two weeks of night shifts (and I’m a early bird, NOT a night owl). I slept nearly 40 out of the 48 hours last weekend, and I expect I’ll do the same this weekend.
[Vegan] and [Vegetarian] are quick ones that come to mind. Maybe also like the region of the cuisine? i.e. [Chinese], [Peruvian], or maybe the type of meal [Breakfast], [Appetizer].
Sounds like a good time to me!
Ooooh them’s fighting words. Have you tried a burger with a homegrown tomato? Pretty night and day, might just change your mind.

Desperately try to foist them on friends, family, coworkers, neighbors, passing dog walkers, the mailman… anybody who’d take some 😆
Beyond that, we’d eat tomato based meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and we canned dozens of pints of salsa and sauce (that we’re still eating!).
It’s definitely a learning curve to start your plants from seed, but seeds can be gotten cheap and are easy to transport. I find beans/peas to be pretty easy to grow from seed, and their vertical growth means they don’t take up too much space.
