I’ve never really been into planting myself, but I’ve always admired gardens and the people who tend them. Recently I decided to give it a try and picked up a few basics from a roadside nursery. No real instructions came with them, so I’ve been figuring things out as I go.
I got home and made my own containers, then bought some soil from the same nursery albeit not quite enough. The capsicum already had a fruit or two on it when I bought it, same with the chilli, and the lavender was already flowering.
I’m a complete beginner, and I’d really like my first attempt not to end in everything withering on me. Any gentle tips or advice would be really appreciated.
I’m in Nairobi, where temperatures range roughly from 10°C–15°C at night to 20°C–26°C during the day. It’s currently the rainy season. Balcony is on the 18th floor facing south.
Much love.
