  • Four years ago, I was looking for a better place where to live. A place where nature is within easy reach. This is how I discovered this small town where I'm living. Aound the town, there are small woods and fields and I can step out of my house and walk for hours. Perfect for slow life.
    I brought nature into my apartment as well. On one of the balconies, I created a garden where I grow edible flowers, herbs and vegetables. In this video I show you how I prepared the raised beds for the new season.

      Dank je wel! Het is fijn om te weten dat zelfs daar, op een zo afgelegen eiland in het Caribisch gebied, iemand de rust in mijn video's heeft gewaardeerd. Ik hoop dat je de volgende video's ook leuk zult vinden.

    All the stress i had today just drained from my body at the very start of the video. The calm vibe, the soft music and nature. I also wanted to have a little garden on my window but its very cold now since it's winter and since I'm also a beginner I'm afraid the plants would probably die :( but! i will keep watching your videos for motivation until i can make mine.
    Best wishes and a big hug to you! Hope your plants and vegetables are doing great! 🥰

      I'm so happy to hear that my video helped you relax! Starting a garden can be challenging, especially in winter, but don't let that discourage you. There are some vegetables that do really well in the cold, like cabbages. Keep that in mind for next winter! In spring, you can start with some herbs and edible flowers, and maybe even a tomato plant. Happy gardening!

    What wonderful places! Being among all that greenery is so peaceful! Even the music is very beautiful and relaxing. I'm curious to see what the vegetables you're growing on your balcony will look like. So I'm waiting for your next videos. See you soon!

    I love nature! And ever since I am a minimalist, trying not to leave a foot print in this world. I always wanted to be with a man who simply loves nature and lives simple. And can survive whatever nature is to offer.

    • @fifthfloorgarden
      @fifthfloorgarden  Місяць тому +1

      Nature is a life lesson, we must learn from it and respect it. But sometimes we take shortcuts that are'nt good for the planet and not even for us. We must transform difficulties into opportunities. If I have to climb to the top of a hill I can go by car, if I go on foot, it will be more tiring and will last longer but what I will have received in return will be enormously more rewarding. Wishing you all the best in your journey to find someone who shares your love for nature and simplicity!

    I will look forward to all your next videos: they are so sincere and real. Maybe it's even closer for me, because I've been studying Italian for two years now)) I wish you more users who will share such a wonderful time with you.

    • @fifthfloorgarden
      @fifthfloorgarden  2 місяці тому +1

      Thank you for your kind words. Yes, what I write is what I really feel. If you are studying Italian you can watch my videos with Italian subtitles, it might be useful. But it is probably something you already do when you watch movies. I hope you will enjoy the next videos too.

      Hi Lyn! Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. For edible flowers, I recommend adding nasturtiums, cornflowers, pansies, marigolds, calendula, and violets to your garden. Happy gardening!

    Hey! I just come across your Channel and is was very calming to see your videos. And i love how you manage all your plants.. 😄😄 Any tips for beginners gardening?

    • @fifthfloorgarden
      @fifthfloorgarden  Місяць тому +2

      Thank you very much, I try to communicate tranquility. And calm does not mean not doing things, it means doing them differently without fuss. If you are starting out with gardening, my advice is to start with herbs and tomatoes. Little by little you will learn to know them. It also depends a lot on the space you have available.
