How my exchange made me an avid gardener
by Yuliya
Yup, that’s an onion!!! And a basil plant on the left that I got earlier today.
To put the title of this post into a bit more context I wanted to write a bit about my newly acquired onion and basil plant.
Last weekend was probably one of my favorite moments so far on my exchange experience. Though I think I say that more often than would be allowed to be considered as a “favorite moment” but ANYWAYS, point being, last weekend me and Julia and Isabel made a trip to Barcelona!!
(tip: buy your tickets and hostels a few weeks – a month in advance! Even though easyJet is a cheaper airline to fly with, it still can save you big bucks when you book in advance!)
But anyways, back to the onion story. I left some stuff in my cupboard over the weekend, and I guess the darkness and potential humidity during those four days had helped my onion spurt from the bulb. Which I didn’t actually know before could be done. I’ve left it with roots in the water the past few days and now it seems to really have grown. I’m waiting for now for it to become a more rich green color, but maybe next week I will have some home-grown green onion to add to my food!
This weekend I’m spending some time catching up on homework, readings, and maybe there will be some sun-basking as well tomorrow?? We will see!
à bientôt:-)
