so a few months ago i decided to start gardening, since i love so much being surrounded by nature, and even though i live almost on the mountain, it's still in an urban neighborhood.

it all started with a pot of begonias that my mother gave me as a gift for passing the last exam to be a firefighter. yes, i'm a firefighter, but i'll get to that later :p

since then, every week we would buy more pots and seeds, or plants, and rich soil to garden.

now, i have a nice and big collection of plants that i'm kindly growing. this activity i found it to be so relaxing that it's like we enter in a different world, like we live in the woods, in a children's story.

here are some photos of my plants :)

these are sesame seeds that i put on a pot just to try it. it grew out beautifully

this is a pumpkin plant, even though i'm not sure it would give pumpkins, since it's in a big pot and not free on the ground of a lawn

this is a small piece of ivy i bought, and i'm hoping it grows to be big and strong enough to climb these walls.

these are the famous begonias that started all this :)

this is my recent acquisition, a pot of velvet roses

this was a funny experiment with melon seeds

and finally, this would be a kind of fern i'm trying to grow roots so i can put it on soil
