The window box, third week of May.The window box, third week of May.

I rent a flat on the third floor with a window that faces south. Granny said a person without a bit of earth is half a person, so: one window box, 80 cm, soil from a sack from the bazaar (6 som), mint, two tomatoes, basil. The mint is winning.

The tomatoes are the same variety as in the yard in Kyzyl-Adyr, from Granny's seed. Compare in August. See On apricots and patience.
