The Force that through the Green Fuse Drives the Flower

My plum tree seems to like its new home!

It probably grew from a nectarine stone in a window box on the balcony of my old flat in Helmholtz Str. When I moved in the window box was empty and I filled it exclusively with kitchen waste, including coffee grounds. Much to the disgust, it has to be said, of several of my girlfriends!

But after a couple of years I had this little tree and the blossom on it was always the first in the whole courtyard and it attracted first bumble bees and then honey bees from the local park. And it was fascinating to see the transformation from waste to life. Only one year did it look like producing fruit. Maybe things will improve here? We’ll plant it properly at some point!
