Our small garden

At the place where I live, I don’t have a yard to have a nice big garden or grass for us to run around on, so I created a small garden perfect for my balcony. My garden has many different types of plants and gardens. I have four different carnivorous plants that are growing beautifully. They like to drink filtered water every day and they have been flowering. With their flowers, they have dropped so many seeds to the point my carnivorous plant's pot is full of bug-eating plants. These beautiful plants have eaten so many bugs and spiders, not only did they eat some spiders but some spiders have made these plants a home by creating a web over their mouths.

We have also been growing some succulents and cactus. My son likes to help water our garden by filling his watering can up with fish water from the fish tank that’s watering our other small garden. When we water our garden using fish water, our garden seems happier, greener and grows so many beautiful flowers.

Aquaponics garden

Our aquaponics garden has 9 goldfish that are growing quite big and a bristle nose fish, they all live on our balcony where they get sun and fish food every day, they also get to go through changes in seasons I did loose 1 or 2 goldfish during summer so I learnt to give the fish some ice during summer.

Our aquaponics garden has vegetables growing so fast that we have so many strawberries growing so quickly, we even had rosemary grow none stop I had to keep cutting it back it was growing that fast, the rosemary had such beautiful purple flowers.

One of my other small gardens on my balcony is one that’s growing my fruit and vegetables. This garden is growing without soil, these plants of mine are sitting in clay balls. This garden is also growing with just fish water. I find this so fascinating to watch my plants grow so fast and produce such delicious fruits and vegetables. We are now growing some strawberries, spring onion, and tomatoes in the garden too. We were growing beans which grew so many beans Jaxon would pick the beans off the plant and eat them. We also grew rosemary which turned into a massive bush there was some malfunction where Jaxon turned the tank off so the rosemary had died.

Doing this with my son not only educates life cycle but it encourages and educates him how to grow things healthy and how to care for living things. Growing our garden also allows Jaxon to pick fruit and veg and eat it straight from the garden.

Whenever Jaxon and I went for a walk we would take some plants with us to start selling cactus, aloe vera and small succulents to help fundraise for the Jaxons service dog. We had sold a few but not many so far.

After our building manager noticed all our plants he gave a small garden area to plant more plants in the next building. In that garden, we have started growing spinach, tomatoes, herbs 🌿, sunflower 🌻 and some aloe vera. We will be growing more plants soon. This garden started off with all weeds, when Jaxon went to preschool I spent all day in the garden cleaning it up.

With this garden I fill up a big bottle full of water from the fish tank to water the garden all these tomatoes are growing to the site at the moment.

All these plants have grown without pesticides and or toxins. It's grown with love.

If you would like to keep seeing these beautiful plants that have helped fundraise please give us a like and a small gift to go towards my sons fundraiser. ❤️
