Marmot the Gardener

Marmot the Gardener log, entry one:

In-house vertical garden finally launched. The project bears the classical features of mega projects:

–      Planning stage was lengthy – two years and included negotiations with stakeholders and main beneficiary (aka the Husband).

–      Costs and time for implementation were underestimated.

–      Project design was changed 2 times during installation works.

–      Expendable materials (pots) were not purchased in the quantity needed.

Despite the troubles associated with this enterprise, the shelves with lights were successfully installed on October 6. They were populated with:

1)     3 pomegranate trees (came from Vladivostok)

2)     1 kalanchoe (inherited from previous tenants of the apartment)

3)     1 pot with garden balsam

4)     1 pot with dill

5)     1 pot with tomato

6)     3 pots with cyclamens.

Comments from main beneficiary: “I thought it would be green!” 

Well, not so fast!

End of entry one.
