Growing vegetables and flowers on the 24th-floor rooftop; netizens exclaim they want to be neighbors

Together we witnessed the process of an empty terrace turning into a beautiful garden. Besides admiration, it even stirred a touch of emotion - life can be this beautiful too!

There are flowers and vegetables, spring everywhere in the garden, a profusion of blooming flowers. Maybe it's because the floor is high (24th floor), there are very few mosquitoes and bugs. Everything I plant can be managed extensively, no need to move things around.

Maybe it's because the climate here isn't very hot. Summer is easy to get through, and the cool breeze on the rooftop is very comfortable.

Silly me, I'm addicted to the garden

Here in Jiangnan there's at most a small hill. Even if I didn't grow flowers, just looking at those patches of green every day makes me feel so happy.

The flower soil was dug by hired help from vegetable plots on the outskirts of the city that developers had taken over. Sometimes I just go up the mountain behind to get some humus soil and mix it in. Shipping to Guizhou is expensive, and potting soil is too costly to afford!

Seeing times like this, I feel that all the effort and waiting are worth it.
