The new place has a small terrace, and I couldn't wait to build a terrace garden.

I think I should count as a beginner. I planted flowers for the first time on June 18 last year. I grew double petunias, Lobelia erinus, flowering maple and campanula, and lisianthus, and they all bloomed, but not well.

After seeing many experts' flower balls, gardens, and terrace seas of flowers, I truly fell completely in love.

It just so happens that the house I bought last year has a small terrace, and I was itching to do something big.

Now I don't go shopping anymore, I don't buy new clothes anymore. All my energy goes to the flowers, and I'll work hard to grow them more beautifully next year.

Without further ado, here are the pictures. Please don't throw bricks, and give lots of encouragement.

If last year counts as having grown flowers, then that was also summer sowing. I really don't know when spring sowing in Northeast China should be. I didn't grasp the timing well, so the flowers bloomed relatively late.

For a beginner like me, having things turn out like this now makes me very content. I spend a lot of time on the terrace every day, enjoying it immensely.

Do you see that purple cushion? My husband lies there every day.

I feel very fortunate to have found this hobby while I am still young. My spare time has become much fuller. When I have nothing to do, I sit among the flowers and plants, silently gazing at every pot, and I feel immensely satisfied inside!
