my neighbor has all these plants that keep getting blown off her balcony, like at least a half dozen so far, a whole bunch of fledgling greens in terracotta pots that fall twelve feet to their doom.

but what she doesn’t know is that most of them survive, rooting in the soil underneath, growing and blooming there. she doesn’t know her wayward zinnia somehow managed to make it into a pot of mine with a dead lavender, that what’s growing there now isn’t even what I planted, that I’ve been watering a guest.

#squawk tag #it’s not really a balcony but a lofted porch so it’s like very out of the way down under it sjdjdjjc #idk why she keeps putting plants in such a precarious location #I’m the only one who’s noticed them growing down there because I thought about…..taking one of the live ones and reporting it for myself #mamdkdnfnf #but when I investigated it was ROOTED rooted #so I leave them all be now #there’s a birds nest a few feet away #three seperate birds have built nests in that same place #the new one was built with little white wildflowers

My bf has a big balcony but doesn't use it so i have permission to live my little urban gardening dream on it and grow some veggies and herbs and flowers there. He even want's to help me build a tiny green house for tomatoes and stuff and i can't wait to get started 💞

Even if everything else in my garden fails this year, the first harvest is IN and it is DANDELION ROOTS

#I'd have collected more but I got rained on. More tomorrow maybe #I only prep dandelion root tea once a year so I'll have to probably reconstruct my rocess from first principles for the fourth time #but that's what gardening and cooking are about probably... #I tried braised dandelion greens last year too: don't recommend #I guess dandelion wine is the one major dandelion product I haven't made yet. But I don't have the apparatus #maybe next year for fun #things currently in my garden: garlic. strawberries. blueberries. rose bush (orange). rose bush (hot pink). peony. lavender #I just gotta think what annuals I want to do (tomato seedlings did not survive) #oh I've also got feral lettuces. growing as weeds #and some young maple trees that need to get dug up. May try to recruit them to live in flowerpots on the balcony

I always love and feel a pit when in the office Pam gets back with Roy. I love the drama, but I hate how real it gets and how sad it is.

#original post #like how she invited everyone at the office to her art show and no one comes #how she just wants a balcony in her dream house and never gets it #how her dreams seem so attainable but never gets it #and how sometimes it seems like she got smaller and smaller #Jim did do romantic stuff for her #but I felt like she never got to grow and fully life her dreams #she like volley ball and art and learn to stand up for herself #and she got chewed up #I wish there was more between her and Karen being friends #they were different but so likeable #also watching the show now it was cool seeing Karen push him

This actually isn't going to be my WIP Wednesday post, but ehhh screw it I'm posting this WIP anyway!

I may or may not have mentioned that I have had my Dragonborn Elyse and Balgruuf kissing on the mind. Except I am not good at drawing kissing. So I drew an almost-kiss. A loving and longing stare. akdjhlkafhajfhskjs I'm melting he's such a handsome man- 💛🥰

Anyway. Actual WIP Wednesday post coming soon.

Once I stop gushing over these two.

#meg has done some drawing #dragonborn oc elyse #balgruuf x dragonborn #balgruuf the greater #I honestly want this to be my best drawing ever beyond my one of elyse on the dragonsreach balcony #so I'm going to be doing a lot of work on this soon >u< #i'm also very quickly growing fond of the outfit i designed for elyse the other day can you tell? she has earrings now

Girl help I'm getting fascinated by urban spaces again

#i love alleys and streets and storefronts and exposed brick and chain link fences #and those big old buildings with broken windowpanes #and bus stops and when houses have little window boxes with flowers on them and when people who hang lgbtq+ flags from their balconies #and giant murals and GRAFFITI #I FUCKING LOVE SEEING GRAFFITI #i love that people make art on street corners and stop signs and the sides of dumpsters #when plants grow in cracks in the sidewalk #i love birds perching on telephone wires #i love teenagers who hang around outside gas stations and on street corners #this is just a love letter to the city i used to live in #[insert cool original post tag]

She’s under the impression she can commit crimes as long as they’re cute.

#like…i’m growing the basil so that wasps don’t hang around and get in the house so they can hang out on the balcony #at least she isn’t peeing in there

The chili plant I started growing from seed last year is doing well and suddenly I've become an old man who randomly walks outside to go look at his vegetable garden except the garden is a singular chili plant that currently has a few flowers on it

#it's the sole survivor of six plants I grew from seeds I collected from a grocery store chili #it's definitely been a learning process lmao but I love it #this year I'm growing mini bell peppers #cayenne peppers #cherry tomatoes #strawberries #and a few herbs #gotta have plants that like sunshine bc the only growing space is a south facing balcony #that gets insanely hot on warm days

haven’t mentioned it much here cause i’ve been so hyper focused on dewey but i’ve also been continuing to work on milo & ranger’s behaviors (namely the barking at noises thing which makes me insane) and they’ll both quiet down with the “quiet” command about 70% of the time, which is cool!…….

………it’s still game over when someone opens the front door though.

i talked to my vet and she suggested i teach “place”. i was planning on doing this for dewey anyway, so that’s next on the list. the goal is that hopefully the dogs will eventually go to their own place when the front door opens versus rushing it (ranger usually initiates this rushing and barking/snarling).

to kinda warm them up, i’ve been having them sit stay when i open a door and “wait” before crossing the threshold. as they’ve gotten better at waiting, i’ve started to release them one at a time by saying their names, which they’ve had more success at than i thought they would. now we are incorporating a slow cross over the threshold versus a burst (milo and ranger specifically are bad about this).

anyway. that’s the current state of things. still managing dew’s guarding well by letting him eat in peace and playing the name game when handing out treats. he has so much energy i wonder if sometimes he becomes so aroused he can’t regulate for himself, which is why we’ve been hitting “leave it” and a sit stay hard lately. just working on building his baby confidence~

all of this is extra hard in a household with two other people who aren’t consistent in carrying the training over though. so i’ve set hard limits on my spouse who i have on management duty any time i’m not home (eliminating the possibility of a negative experience/setback). he’s going to dew’s kinderpup classes with us so that’s a start

#text #that’s a novel i’m sorry i just needed to type it out lol #i should mention few does not bark when the front door opens or bark at dogs he sees below the balcony etc etc #he has not picked up those behaviors probably because we actively work on them! #when the trainer came over dew and milo were both out and milo barked and was generally very reactive to her whereas dew #climbed into her lap immediately hahaha #dew’s training will be about growing that baseline confidence and milo’s and co will be about building it #tho ryker is. not really a problem child actually #leash reactive but easily redirected #dew* not few yike

if you have native plants in your garden that are kinda weedy to you but that don't really do anything bad to your other plants- leave them, you have no idea what butterfly, moth, bee, etc. will be so grateful you did.

#certain butterfly/moths feed on specific plants and have very specific host plants. so id keep it just in case c: #-saying this as someone with experience who now has a pet moth ig that idk what to do w but upon researching ive found out #that the caterpillars feed on this native 'weed' i have growing all over the place on my balcony. and personallyi just feel so thankful and #blessed that nature has brought this lil fella to me. not sure what to do w him tho since i dont think most moths live longer than a year #but by god ill do what it takes. seems he sought refuge in my house when the temps started to drop.

God, can you imagine being George, growing up around these two and their shenanigans?

George:

.

.

Fast-forward a few years:

He definitely got it 😂

#George Harrison #Bob Dylan #Alexa play I’d Have You Anytime by George Harrison #poor Georgie #god growing up around those two must have been a pain in the ass #at least he got his own ✨special✨ musical partnership later on #the Beatles #beatles memes #paul mccartney #john lennon #mclennon #John and Paul were probably George’s queer awakening ngl #George was a tad obsessive with his crushes wasn’t he? I’m thinking about how he followed John around even on dates #and how apparently he STALKED Bob Dylan literally hiding in his bushes recording him practicing his music #and hanging over the balcony to tape Bob playing piano alone #like bruh 💀

HC:

While there aren't many things or places that give Richard solace, one of the things that does bring him a deep sense of calm and bliss would be his flat's little balcony. It's nothing fancy. It's just a balcony attached to a fire escape, but you'll most likely find Richard there on Sunday mornings (or sometimes during a insomnia-induced night) sketching or even painting with his easel and canvas. There's something just so relaxing about making something with his hands while hearing the whirr of the city go by. It makes him feel invisible, in a good way; like he's in his own world. In fact, even if Richard constantly questions his own abilities when it comes to art, whenever he paints or sketches on his balcony he doesn't even care about how much talent he has. He just wants to create.

#richards thoughts; #//i also feel like Richard tried to make this balcony feel like home// #//by trying and somewhat failing to grow his own wee garden of potted plants// #//some of them are withering away but he's desperatly trying to keep them alive// #//by watering the wee things every day 🥺//

Went to the gardencenter with my mum and shopped some seeds. Tomato, sunflower, lavender and basil. Also i bought some soil. Can't wait for the season to start!

My bf and I love snack tomatoes and they seem to be a classic choice to grow on a balcony. I hope they'll survive our balcony, since there is no roof or anything. But the package said they can be planted in the open so I'll believe it xD
