When I visited my parents in May this year, I was quite impressed by my father's rooftop vegetable garden. Well, it was not really rooftop but I don't have a better word for that. The vegetable garden was on a balcony, connected to the loft level of their three bedroom flat.
There were strawberries, tomatoes, beans, cucumbers, green onions, lettuces and other vegetables and fruits on the balcony, lovely arranged in various pots and boxes, with obvious care.
I was quite impressed by the bounty - when I was a kid, I did grow corns for fun but they were very small and not really edible, largely due to lacking fertilizer. It's mid-summer now and I hope my parents are enjoying the fresh vegetables from their own garden.
The garden was not only useful but visually appealing as well, particularly with the ever-changing light.
