Last Friday I used the lunch break for a visit to a gardening center and it lasted for 2h although it is not a huge shop.
I ended up with a cart so full of plants that I really had trouble loading in my car, especially the larger ones, but I've managed in the end and got home with a lot more plants than initially planned.
I also bought a pair of boots to use in the garden:

I got to use them the same day, as I needed to start planting that very afternoon.

Here is a part of the labels from the first batch of plants that found their place in my garden:

This is just a small part of the plants I planted last Friday, but I still haven't finished, as I have to wait for some help with digging the holes for the larger plants since I am about 8 months pregnant and all this effort was already quite a lot for me at this point.
Here are some of the remaining plants

There is so much to be done, but I lack the time and energy these days and I don't have high hopes for the near future either.
I am trying though to do my best for this first year and try several things, especially since this small garden is meant for experimenting before I get to have a proper garden :-)
