Hello Mastodon! I’m a frontend dev who shares stories from my tech-life balance — coding, accessibility, React, travel tales, and a bit of gardening.
Expect #WebDev thoughts, #Accessibility tips, and maybe my #BalconyGarden updates.
My mint plants are extremely large and healthy this year. It's amazing how different they are compare to last year.
I have 3 plants like this on my balcony.
Today was the first test of the Squirrel Defense System: great success! Looks like my rodent adversary tried digging in several pots but was thwarted by the chickenwire "skirt" buried under the surface. #containerGarden #balconyGarden #squirrelEnemies
Finally, the balcony is scrubbed, planted, and put back together for spring. It's sangria o'clock, baby. (Glass courtesy of @flisswave )

How many lime trees on a balcony is too many?
Balcony garden seedlings at the end of April: A little slow with the cold grey weather but starting to do their thing. #balconygarden #urbanag
My largest #jalapeno #pepper plant is coming out of #hibernation.
It needs a new pot too, but I'm not going to do it before leaving the apartment hopefully soon.

Finally - smelly spring flowers!
You have no idea how hard it is to find decently smelly flowers on this side (when compared with Tesselaars near Melbourne). I’ve searched forever for erlicheer jonquils. Still looking for good smelly freesias rather than the giant non-scented type.
This daphne was the only one at the garden center, and again, the first seen since moving to DE in 2011. Hopefully it’ll be a bit more robust than the post-destroyed ones I tried to get from NL.
Wisteria, apple, pear, lemon and cherry blossoms are all out too - it smells good on the balcony.
