More lithops more problems
Very pleased with this one, they had so many colors and cultivars to choose from. Love the pot color too. Satifying when my mental image of what I want to make translates so well to reality.

2 new tables and I’m officially full on that front.
EDIT: See that agave on the left? I’m gonna repot the hell outta her next. I also need to prune that lemon tree as it takes up way too much space and it needs it anyhow.

Last year I found a sprouting acorn in one of the plant pots on my balcony. Who knows how it got there, a bird left it maybe? Anyway, I gave it its own little pot to grow and I was dreaming of my own bonsai oak tree. Would I live long enough to see some result?
Alas, after a month or so (still in the midst of summer) it lost it leaves and it died. I forgot to throw it out and I forgot about it, until this morning when the little pot caught my eye. Oh joyful sight! Made my day.

It’s a true survivor! 
I like to put every seed I can lay my hands on into the ground in the hope it sprouts.
That leaves me with a Chestnut tree, a lemon tree, a little date palm and a avocado plant 
And many has died during the road 
This is the avocado plant, I kept it still on water.

I’m still a total nitwit regarding plants. But I love the downtown Monday plant and flower market. And I also love to mess around with some plants and earth and stuff on my balcony a couple of times a year. Five new additions. I forgot 3 of their names already. Never mind. I won’t enjoy m any less.

I recently got a Chinese money plant. Any tips on how to make sure it prospers?

Oak trees do quite well in pots, I discovered. My daughter planted some as a toddler. Two sprouted and survived the first winter. Now about 13-14 years later they still live in pots in my yard. Pot size around 15-20 litres and the trees stand around 1,5 metres. I’ll make a picture once they have their leaves out 
On your next bike ride, see if you can find a mature oak tree and scoop some soil from beneath. Oaks like to form a relationship with a fungus to help with their water supply/regulation. The spores in the soil will help your baby oak. You might even get mushrooms in the same pot in autumn 
I wouldn’t eat though

Thanks for the tip! There’s a group of oaks in the park next door to my place (I found out with the brilliant tree map of Amsterdam Bomen - in beheer van Gemeente Amsterdam It’s in Dutch but clear enough for you to enjoy I think. I nicked some soil there just now.

Love the map! I wish we had something like that here. I saw a cluster of prunus trees on your map… I would so go out in autumn and see if its a fruit bearing variety
