This year's balcony gardening experiments: The Ensproutening.

Black Krim & Gold Nugget tomatoes. (Last year's Gold Nugget plant went completely berserk, reaching ~6' tall & producing more tomatoes than we could eat, so it's a keeper.)

Shishito, Arapaho, and Szentezi peppers. (All new to me. We'll see how they do.)

Genovese basil. (Last year's didn't have enough space, so I'm hoping for a better crop this year for pesto.)

Sweet pea sprout, Cupani, one of the oldest sweet pea varieties. In 2021, with a Marie Curie rose (Meilland) and other sweet peas (Mrs Collier, Prince of Orange, Dorothy Eckford and Henry Eckford).

The sprout is tiny, the flowers will be beautiful. Shirley poppies are wild poppies selected for their irregularities, the variations are endless and beautiful.

(Seeds bought from , before Brexit, sigh.)

First sprouts of the year, calendulas, sweet peas (Cupani) and some Shirley poppies. The ritual is to go and see what has grown when we wake up and it's wonderful.

Looking at the photos from 2021 to imagine the balcony in a few months (not too quickly). 2022 was a bad year for gardening, between my PhD and a badly timed holiday, this year I'm enjoying having time to dream and garden.

(Left) Calendula in November 2022 (flowers that notoriously hate cold and frost). This also means that if it freezes, they don't have time to go to seed and won't reseed themselves.

(Right) I decided to do my seedlings early, I only have a balcony and my main aim is to help the food pyramid (hello insects, hello house martins), plus the joy of growing flowers in a limited space.

I've moved, it's time!

I have just finished my PhD on the uses of Facebook and Twitter by four museums (BE/LU) and their audiences. My PhD research focused on , rethinking access (to the and , as public sphere), visible and invisible use(r)s, present and missing data.

Apart from research, I like , and , I garden on my balcony and Brittany is my happy place.
