Her windowsill garden feeds three balconies of neighbours
It started with one basil plant and a refusal to let herbs die quietly.
The Laughing Otter
Amina's windowsill is technically illegal under the laws of physics: fourteen pots, three kinds of mint, and a tomato plant with ambitions. The overflow goes to the neighbours on either side, whose balconies have been quietly colonised with cuttings and handwritten care instructions.
Nobody asked for a community garden. They got one anyway, two storeys up, held together by twine and enthusiasm.
The tomatoes, for the record, are average. The friendships are thriving.
What is the smallest thing you have grown that made you disproportionately proud?
