Thanks for that! My aunt recently harvested her garden full of tomatoes before the winter really set in, and I find myself the owner of two or five buckets worth! Of course I couldnt eat them all, but I did find a website full of tons more tomato recipe there. A whole website dedicated the topic!! Crazy what you can find on the internet these days!!

Hi Sher,

Really glad you enjoyed this. Good luck with your balcony garden–you can really do a lot with balconies, more than people expect!

And you’re so right that you explore and learn so much about yourself than what you might have if you had never become an expat. I know I certainly have.

Hi Michelle,
Loved your post! That’s some excellent advice for new expats to explore gardening in their new homes. We live in a flat, in Prague, and have balconies that will hopefully be planted with a small container garden of tomatoes and flowers, etc!

When you become an expat, you not only explore your new home, but you also end up exploring your soul. Many expats turn to writing, photography, and many other hobbies when beginning a new life overseas. Some of these hobbies even go on to become a line of work for the new expat. You just never know–and should never be afraid of branching out into new areas. These new areas enrich your soul and your life like never before.

Have a great day,
Sher
