Grow a Green Oasis: Container Gardening for Small Spaces
Tumblr media
Do you dream of a flourishing garden but lack the space for sprawling flower beds? Don't worry! Container gardening is here to transform your tiny balcony, sunny windowsill, or fire escape into a vibrant mini-paradise.
Why Containers?
Container gardens are perfect for small spaces because they're flexible and portable. You can arrange pots to fit any nook or cranny, and move them around to chase the sun or create colorful displays. Plus, they're a low-commitment option, ideal for renters or those new to gardening.
Choosing Your Containers
Think size: Bigger pots are better for plants with deep roots, like tomatoes or peppers. Herbs and smaller flowers can thrive in cozier containers.
Drainage is key: Ensure your pots have holes at the bottom to prevent water from pooling and rotting the roots. You can add a layer of pebbles at the bottom for extra drainage.
Material matters: Plastic pots are lightweight and affordable, but clay pots breathe better and add a classic touch. Consider metal or wooden containers for a unique look, but remember they may heat up more in the sun.
Planting Power
Potting mix magic: Skip the garden soil! Use a good quality potting mix specifically designed for containers. It's lightweight, drains well, and has nutrients to nourish your plants.
Picking your players: Select plants that thrive in containers. Herbs like basil, mint, and parsley are fantastic choices. Cherry tomatoes, peppers, and lettuce are great for a veggie container. Flowers like petunias, marigolds, and pansies add a pop of color.
Planting party: Fill your pot with potting mix, leaving some space at the top. Gently loosen the roots of your plant and place it in the pot. Fill in the remaining space with more mix, making sure the plant sits at the same level it did in its original container. Water gently until water runs out the drainage holes.
Keeping Your Container Thriving
Sun seekers: Most plants need at least 6 hours of sunlight a day. Pay attention to your space and choose plants that suit the amount of sun it gets.
Watering wisdom: Water regularly, but avoid drowning your plants. The frequency will depend on the plant type, pot size, and weather. Stick your finger in the soil – if it feels dry to the first knuckle, it's watering time.
Feeding frenzy: Give your container plants a boost with a fertilizer formulated for container gardens. Follow the instructions on the package for dosage and frequency.
Top Tips for Tiny Gardens
Vertical veggie walls: Utilize vertical space with hanging planters or tiered shelves to grow herbs, lettuce, or cascading flowers.
Recycle and reuse: Repurpose old buckets, tins, or even teacups as quirky planters. Just ensure they have drainage holes.
Mix and match: Play with colors, textures, and heights for a visually interesting display. Trailing plants like vining vegetables or ivy can soften the edges of pots and add a whimsical touch.
With a little planning and these simple tips, container gardening can transform your small space into a flourishing haven. So grab your favorite pots, pick some vibrant plants, and get ready to watch your tiny garden blossom!

Date: September 7, 2023
Day: Thursday Time: 2:30 PM
September has arrived, and it brings with it a sense of renewal and transformation. As I reflect on my journey, I can't help but acknowledge how far I've come from the previous years. Life has presented its challenges, but I've managed to find strength within.
For a couple of years now, I've carried the burden of a diagnosed umbilical hernia. Surgeons have advised that they'll operate once I've shed a significant amount of weight. However, it's been a challenging journey since most weight loss exercises tend to focus on the belly region. On the brighter side, I've been on Ozempic for two years as part of my diabetes management, and it's helped me shed 20 kilograms during that time. Still, I find myself heavier than my desired weight, currently at 170 kilograms, down from 190 kilograms.
The period of grieving for my mom and granddad deeply affected my mental and subsequently, my physical health. However, since my arrival in Sydney in March 2022, I've been actively involved in various activities. I've enjoyed dog walking, selling pizzas at farmers' markets, and even worked with a renowned hospitality company called Merivale, which dominates numerous venues across New South Wales and has recently added Lorne, Victoria, to its list.
One of my most memorable experiences with Merivale was at the SCG/Allianz stadium, where I had the privilege of working at two Elton John concerts with the best views imaginable. My sole responsibility was to sell bottles of water, and during those magical two nights, I felt my mom's presence with me.
However, I decided to take a break from traditional jobs to focus on my well-being. Living through lockdown and the creepy pandemic cityscape of city life in Melbourne took a toll on my mental health. I vividly recall seeing the coroner's van and, sadly, witnessing 12 instances of individuals having end their lives by jumping out of windows or balconies from isolation in studio apartments around Elizabeth Street, where I resided. This was a dark period for me, and it led me to seek assistance in the form of antidepressants, something I never imagined I'd need.
These medications provided the help I needed, but they also led to a year and a half of numbing existence. It wasn't until recently, as I settled in Sydney, that I decided, in consultation with my doctor and pharmacy guidance, to gradually reduce my antidepressant dosage from 20mg to 10mg.
The initial week was tumultuous within my mind, but this second week has been a lot more manageable. This reduction in medication has offered me a renewed perspective on life. I've felt a return to the youthful vigor I had before my mom's battle with cancer. It's been refreshing yet strange, and it has made me realize that the entire time I was on antidepressants, I existed in a state of numbness, devoid of critical thinking.
This newfound clarity has also deepened my compassion for what my mom endured, undergoing various medication changes, which she often shielded from me. I look forward to the day when I can spend quality time with my beautiful nephew Phoenix, sister, Cassie, and brother from another mother, Gene. It will be delightful a time. The weather here in Sydney is splendid, and I've cultivated my own apartment garden in a window planter outside my window, inspired by my mothers former neighbour and their family’s passion for gardening.
Reflecting on my mom's medication journey, I realize I could have been more compassionate back then, but I was just a kid yearning to be carefree. The responsibilities of adulthood loomed over me at times, and I was reluctant to embrace them. This shared experience with Cassie has brought us closer, and we both concur that being off medication is a preferable state for us. I fondly recall a period when my mom was off her medication, before she went full Palliative and it allowed her to regain her old self before her mental health declined.
It was a bittersweet experience, but it opened my eyes to what she must have endured but never fully communicated.
As my mom's birthday approaches on September 9th, I find myself house-sitting for a delightful pug named Snuggle Bug in the Sydney district of the Shire/Barden Ridge. It promises to be a peaceful and reflective time, a fitting tribute to my mom.
With each passing day, I'm embracing the journey of self-discovery and healing, and I'm grateful for the people and experiences that have shaped my path.
In solitude and peace
