Record of the whole process of building a small sky garden for the first time

Building my own little garden for the first time, I want to record it so I can look back at it slowly later

Here is a picture of the little garden as it is now. Although it still looks messy, I will keep adjusting it little by little, hoping it gets better and better. Next spring will be an even more beautiful spring.

This sunshine feels so nice

Drinking tea and looking at flowers in the garden, I could sit here all day

The roses moved to a new flower rack, and I imagine it will look beautiful when they are all in full bloom

The chrysanthemums I bought at the flower market last weekend for 20 yuan have beautiful colors, I just don't know what they are called

It rained, and the succulents on the terrace got a bath

I made a few more little changes to the garden. The garden was overgrown with weeds, quite a few flowers died from the sun, but the grass grew with astonishing vitality, growing tall in a tangled mess and even covering the little angel. A few days ago I bought turf online. At first I just wanted to cover the small flower bed by the fish pond on the balcony, but I bought too much and couldn't waste it, so I simply pulled out the weeds in the garden and laid the turf. These past few days have been fine, with little sun and a bit of light rain, so I hope the turf will come back to life. The kitten loves the garden and comes to stroll around with me several times every day

Tangdou has finally claimed the garden all to itself and is truly living in a garden villa

Last weekend I changed the path in the middle of the garden and paved it with red bricks, and also added a little house for Tangdou. When the sides of the path are covered with grass or flowers it should look very pretty, and it looks a bit neater than before. But my husband likes the original look, saying it had a wild beauty

The pink Zephirine Drouhin rose has bloomed, with its branches reaching straight into a bunch of succulents. Is it trying to compete in beauty?

Today I applied fish intestine fertilizer, using the method I saw from a fellow gardener on the forum. Make two fingernail-sized holes in the bottom of a wide-mouthed bottle, then bury the whole bottle upright in the soil, leaving only the bottle mouth outside. Put the fish intestines into the bottle and seal the mouth tightly. After that, add fish intestines once every three months. The fellow gardener said this method does not breed insects and basically has no smell. So I am trying it out, not sure how well it will work, but the main thing is that it just doesn't smell. I washed the fish intestines once, soaked them in homemade enzyme solution, and then put them in. I don't know if that will speed up decomposition. I will update the test results.

Quite a few Golden Celebration roses have bloomed. Today my daughter and I cut flowers and arranged them together, happy times!
