the right to be lazy

Let us be lazy in everything, except in loving and drinking, except in being lazy. – Lessing. interesting artwork at the museum of contemporary art in berlin (old hamburg train station) a round piece of land, left to its own development, around it a hedge to symbolize the ordered world around it. great!

intercultural gardens

what a great idea :)

gardens to connect people from different cultural backgrounds
to share their knowledge about plants, food and many other things

grow your own chili!

i have to harvest my first home-grown in a few days.
it is fairly easy to grow them yourself on the windowsill.

if you need tips, visit: http://www.chili-balkon.de/ the site is in german
on the link page of the chili-balkon (chili balcony) i found an english site: http://www.g6csy.net/chile/index.html but there is others mentioned too..

anyway, the sites suggest that one can do science with growing them. but let me tell you that my first try was a success and i did not do much about it.

just put some seeds into a pot with earth (planting earth from the shop so). (seeds need to be covered). watered them regularly. (not too moist so they do not rot. but never dry so they can grow..)
when there is flowers, pollinate them with a little paintbrush (not needed when they are growing outside).

and that over a few month..

voila. my own chili is ready to be eaten (not by me so.. i do not like hot food)
