During the Covid-19 outbreak I have had a lot of time to garden – on the back patio. It is enclosed even though it not heated but it does get a lot of sun. I started growing potatoes in pots,beans and salad greens just in case there is a food shortage.
In addition, I started all my annual and perennial flowers from seeds, tomatoes, peppers and other vegetables and they are about ready to be transferred to the outdoors as soon as the weather gets warmer. The patio garden is my happy place and enjoy puttering around it every day.
What is your happy place?

I have a strawberry patch in the yard and they are starting to come alive again.

You are smart to plant a garden especially if we don't know if a food shortage could hit.
Your garden looks like it's thriving
I like to sit outside on my porch when the weather is nice

@Marilynda1225, I enjoy my backyard but only when the weather is much warmer.

Yes they will are be moved to the outdoor gardens as soon as it is warm enough. I have one in the back and another in the front which takes up most of my summers.

I am glad you have a happy place you enjoy. I call my porch my happy place if not bothered and can just enjoy it and read and pet my cat.

Having some quiet time is always a good thing

@Hannihar I guess you have already tried but is there anything you can do to stop the bully? I have one next door but luckily they are not above me, that would be too close.

I wish I had quiet time. I have a bully neighbor that lives above me and harrasses me all the time everyday and late at night and early morning and all day long. He does not stop for our Sabbath or our holidays.

@Nevena83 I plant new ones each year, some survive others don't Right now I have about 10 varieties. I wait patiently each spring to see if the newest ones survive,

I'm doing exactly the same now and I'm also doing it to prepare incase there is a food shortage the only difference is I'm doing it on the roof top of our garage, you have a great garden, good luck planting to both of us.

Oh no! I really don't have a happy place here. My happy place is when I am in Montana and that doesn't happen often any longer.
