The Spruce!
My wife bought it 4 or 5 years ago as a Christmas tree for the table. Afterwards we forgot about it for some time and eventually put it on the balcony. After a while she wanted to throw it out, but I hate killing trees (I have no problem killing flies, flounders and rabbits) so she decided on a new plan. Disruptive transplanting on someone else's property... But then I cut it back a bit and it started to sprout these light green branches, and she found that so touching that it now has become part of the family, living a sort of bonsai life on the balcony.

Evening Sky
This is for @Sunyata ☸ 👨🏻💻 ☮ for the beautiful leafy canopy which I'm currently using as a desktop walpaper, and for @Aurin who likes to post photographies of the sky above their home.
It shows the #horizon as seen from my #balcony with a big #cloud hovering over the #town one evening some weeks ago. It is in the public domain, so everyone take it and use it as they wish...
Our small Wyzard Tower garden has been producing enormous amounts of tomatoes. The principle I have enforced has been to let the plants grow wild with no pruning down to increase harvest. I like things to just go wild. It has sometimes gone a bit too wild, so some of those new gentrification pest neighbours are worried that their children would die due to falling tomatoes. Killer tomatoes.
My wife have this year tried beef tomatoes that in this cold climate, where all fruits and vegetables get intense aromas in a trade off with less crop, have tasted almost melon like. Our youngest daughter didn't fancy them, probably because they were to large, luscious, colourful and alien shaped. So we have had tomato salads every evening, and I have been eating rye bread with mayonnaise and tomatoes for lunch for quite some time. Now the chillies are soon ready for harvest and the tomatoes are over. As you can see on the last picture, we are ready for winter now, with the thyme, rosemary and the survivor pine tree as the only residents on the balcony. The rest of the spices have moved inside - (actually they are right now on display in some plastic recycling design project my wife has on exhibition right now - they will return shortly she has promised).
Next year we will return to the less frivolous sort of tomatoes and have many, many more chillies!

Neulich am #Morgen, die glorreiche #Nachtschichtwoche war vorbei und ich startete ins #Wochenende. Ich saß mit einem halben Meter Abstand und war überrascht, daß ich in Ruhe meine Smartphone Kamera anschalten konnte. :-) <3
