There used to be a tree, next to my kitchen door, blocking the light and the doorway. When it was chopped, I decided to use the remaining bit for a platformed mini-garden. In The Netherlands, we have a famous invention called ‘de makkelijke moestuin‘ – and that inspired me to use an old table blade and create a spot for planting lettuce.

Phew! Pretty, though. It is going to be a lovely summer, with lots of strawberries, tomatoes, mint-tea and lettice!
