The weather has been strange this winter in Ankara. It seems to go back and forth between cold and spring-like weather. Today, the sun is shining bright, the weather is lovely and it looks like the trees are budding.
Not that I would know. I have been trapped inside with a nasty cold. I am planning to be fully recovered by tomorrow. I have been hacking and sniffling since Wednesday…Enough is enough!
I am really excited for spring. I can wait to get flowers for the window boxes on the balcony. This year I also have some nasturtium seeds to plant to climb on the railings I have already started basil and thyme inside, as well as cilantro and mustard greens.
I started some chives I started a few months ago, but I have to say, they have been really struggling. I am sure they will like going out on the balcony again and having some more sunlight. On the positive side—my tulip bulbs are blooming which makes the apartment seem nice and cheery!
I do not have a green thumb, but am trying to practice, so when we have a yard it does not look like a barren wasteland!
