Bonjour Mister T
The garden is still doing pretty great. The heatwave last week speed things up for the tomatoes but slowed them for the zucchinis but those are restarting nicely. I've started to pulled up the green beans plants and the new ones are starting to break the soil (I've learned last week you're supposed to change plants about every month cause after that they don't produce much and so are not worth keeping all the season so I'll need to plan better for next month). It seems the cherry tomatoes gave their all and are now done.
You can do quite a few things on a balcony. My brother only have very long window sills but they have planters with chive, parsley, mint strawberries and a cherry tomato plant. They're very proud they've managed not to kill the poor plants
How are you and Aod doing? It's amazing about your eyes (I have ICL implants last year and had the same sensations as you about having a brand new vision)
