Going to see if I can sell this old cactus
It was left over by my tenants and I really don't like having it.
It's too heavy and has really sharp tags that scares me a lot.
Will put an add to see if anyone is interested in buying it.

The post office has lost my package and said it was delivered.
After complaining, they denied my complain and sent me a message asking me to send them the proof that I have not received the package.
How the hell am I supposed to do that?
6 years in south of Paris, and I lost only 2 packages. 8 months back in Antibes and this is the 5th package that "got lost".

Typical "inflation"
Bus ticket prices in our region has been set to 1.50 euro per ticket. No matter distance.
Now the are going to change it to €2.10 per ticket, but I can buy a discount card of €30 per year to get 30% off (same price as today).
The stupid part is, they removing the discount for 10tickets that was €10 euro.
It is still much cheaper than prices in Paris. But it's getting ridiculous
Mini Kratky Tiny Tim Tomato is having some problems!
First of all, it is growing much more on one side making it hard to keep in place.
Second, my silly laziness let the algae grow on the roots and the wick of the plant so i have to wash it off now.
Going to put some extra reinforcement on the side and put aluminum foil around the bottle to prevent the light to get in and cause algae growth.

People called it crazy and laughable when i planted my cherry tomatoes directly in the bag of soil i bought!
2 months later, and several kilos of comatose later, one of them has passed 2m in height, despite my attempt to keep it low.
I have over 300 flowers on each plant and there seems to be no end to how much longer it keeps growing.
6L of water per day using a 2L milk bottle with a small hole in it to slowly feed the plant with water and occasionally giving some organic liquid fertilizer has done magic to my tomatoes again.
Super cheap (15 euro for 2, 50 liter bags of soil) and 6 euro for metal beams and wires to hold them up and together is all that i spent.
When i have a yard, the watering system will be controlled by a raspberry pi zero and some cheap electronics from AliExpress so i don't need to water them 3 times a day.
Great investment and trial to grow organic tomatoes on my balcony. They also cool down the place during the heatwaves and attract a lot of bees.

My balcony l is not pretty or neat, but it's almost all green and soon will be full of tomatoes again.
Ordered 6 bags of soil to grow different cucumbers, some more pepper and beans for the fall season.
It's making tue balcony cooler during the hot days of summer.
I am using about 16L of water t times per day. About half of it from gray water.

I love when plants have healthy white roots.
This from a self watering tomatoe with good storage that doesn't let the lights in.
Others had problem with Algae growth because the sun here is much stronger than south of Paris.

Used my last Coco peat block to replant my pepper seedlings. I may have to buy a few more for my tomato seedlings that starting to germinate.
