We don’t need a large plot to grow our garden vegetables, they can also grow and thrive in small spaces or containers.

I’m growing my tomato plants in the balcony this year. They are planted in containers big enough to hold sufficient water, soil, and nutrients, which the plants need for a healthy growth.

Being around plants and caring for them is very therapeutic, it helps me ground, relax, and enjoy the simple things in life.

Watering them every morning has become a ritual, and it is an easy way for me to relax, find peace, and become fully present in the now moment. I love to be near these little green friends, tending and caring for them. I always feel much better and taller afterwards. And I have a funny feeling that they also enjoy my company!

It will soon be harvesting time: a time when they generously offer themselves to us, and are ready to provide us with all their richness: minerals, vitamins including A ,K, B1, B3, B5, B6 etc. as a way to thank us for the love, care, and dedication we provided them during their life cycle!
