Friend came over and we moved off the last of the planter boxes from my balcony. It’s so sad and empty now. And it’s an effing pain to go pick some herbs or water my plants or anything - gotta exit my apt, go down two sets of steps, open the main door, walk 300m, back up another flight… plants are in a more exposed area too, I worry about the curry leaf plants. I see the snails have already gotten to some of my seedlings in absence of my maintenance. :/

I really hope the landlord gets the balcony fixed soon because it’s denying me use of space that I’m paying for. If she drags it out thinking it’s a bonus for her to have all my pesky plants in the common area and not on her balcony, I’ll definitely contact Tenants Vic to figure out my options.

Hate that the rental market is such that I don’t have much leverage to say fuck you I’ll move. (also as much as I’m tired of the area I live in, it’s so close to my new job that I’m not sure I do want to move further out for now).

Gonna try and not stew on this and instead get to work reorganising and watering everything + applying copper tape on all the pots not just the biggest ones
