My Boho Decor & Garden So-called Balcony on the First Floor

Well, here's my so-called balcony on the first floor, with my garden.

It's practically permanently in shade, so growing anything is difficult. I've been experimenting since about 2004 to grow things... which I'm sure I've often mentioned...

I went with a permaculture direction since the end of 2013... I've been incorporating low level light plants, or shade crops. this year we got a new out door light in the parking-lot, after several years of darkness after they removed to old New England lamppost lanterns.

I think I got "the gift" from my dad, so to speak... because when I have LIGHT I can nearly save any plants... "Green Thumb"
So, this situation was a brain picker....

I never really know what results I will get because thing that OUGHT to grow didn't, or had poor results, and stuff that I expected to fail went great! Also, different results in different years, n different times of the seasons!

The only way to learn is to do, and learn from failure...

My cucumbers are doing so well now! I didn't think they would grow at all!
They're VERY THIRSTY! They drink so much water!

I'm also growing ginger & potatoes! I didn't know they could grow so easily!

Night time:

Trying to maximize the most out of what limited #light exposure my #plants in my #garden can even get. I must #prune the plants, n rearrange them frequently. #night #evening and they get such a tiny amount of sunlight in the morning. We're approaching equinox very soon, which is end of next month. #NewEngland Several years worth of #experimentations to get it this lush, if u want to call it that.... But, indoor gardening for me is easy... If I have light, I've saved things that were dying.

#garden #greens #harvest I had to trim all these down. The aphids ravaged them so bad! 2 weeks ago it was mini inchworms or larva, and before that it was either caterpillars or cold n rainstorms! They were doing well, but they freaked n started flowering! Once they do that, they don't grow the right leaves! So, after chopping off flowers 3 times per day, the plants were hell bent on flowering! So, I had to let me flower n go to seed pods! But, that attracted the aphids! Then the aphids bloomed in a swarm! Luckily, it's about almost mid summer! I'd started some other experimental crops, which took off! I was expecting those to fail, so I chopped these down or trimmed them, so the other ones can grow n get better light. Plus, I added some new seeds. They should bloom in sequence hopefully. In the meantime, these are #soaking so I can fry them.

Sakura No Makeup Mori Girl 2012

These, IMHO, really aren't the greatest photos of me ever, but a number of folks think that are good, and tell me so. "Good" is not the word I would ever use.

For several years since my late 20s I would get seveer sinus, lungs, bronchial, inner ears, and lung infections in winter due to small tonsils, and deviated septum in my sinuses, (I also have asthma) and by the time I was in my 30s I just couldn't heal very well, plus add on poverty and poor nutrition with stress and pressure, plus depression or anxiety.


I was sick when I shot these. It was sometime around the time just before the year I had major surgery... I already forget most of that time.. its a jumble in my head/memory...

It was strapped for time when I shot these. As per typical New England weather i.e. erratic it was supposed to rain this day, and also supposed to be cold, but as I walked to the grocery store ( and probably Starbucks too) carrying my umbrella, I started to sweat. I thought: That's strange... By the time I was walking back home, which wasn't very long, the clouds began breaking up, and the sun came out.

So, I rushed home quickly to get my camera.

I shot all sorts of photos of the sakura/cherry blossoms which were next door to my neighborhood, back when the fence desintagrated and neighbors could freely visit each others' neighborhood happily n unrestricted...

the sky still looked terrible, and I thought at any moment I'd miss my shots, like always... But, the sun pretty much stayed on me the entire time, for the most part... so, I started shooting myself, wishing I'd put my makeup on, and regretting NOT doing it... But, then I had to go because I had some conferences to sit in on, and a number of phone interviews...

桜 Sakura Festival Fusion Mix from BlackUniGryphon on 8tracks Radio.

New England Sakura Boho Chic Child

Wow! Look how little my daughter was in this!


Well.... these are a lil' bit white-washed, but whatever....

I shot these in 2010.

These were shot in a neighborhood probably next to mine, but it no longer likes the way it did back then.
