Before I did anything in the garden, I observed what was growing there in January 2021. I observed that the plot had been used for remnant of art projects, especially sand and limestone where to find a lot places. Someone also told me that the metal workshop had “leaked” metal waste in the ground whenever people would work outside. | Before I did anything in the garden, I observed what was growing there in January 2021.

Greater celandine (perennial, grows in rich moist soil with shadow, in forests or disturbed wastelands etc.) told me a lot about the composition about the soil, and the orientation of sun. | *Greater celandine – (perennial, grows in rich moist soil with shadow, in forests or disturbed wastelands etc.) told me a lot about the composition about the soil, and the orientation of sun. | ||
Marble tree shoot – there was a lot of marble shoots, and it is common that if you leave a place for long enough a forest emerge after while. | *Marble tree shoot – there was a lot of marble shoots, and it is common that if you leave a place for long enough a forest emerge after while. | ||
large sage roots (had taken a lot of the space in the front, which revealed perhaps a sandy composition in that area, and opportunity for sun) the sage roots had not been pruned before the winter, and had suffered, although it was still growing some places. | *large sage roots – (had taken a lot of the space in the front, which revealed perhaps a sandy composition in that area, and opportunity for sun) the sage roots had not been pruned before the winter, and had suffered, although it was still growing some places. | ||

I got that the soil was rich, but “disturbed” in the sense that several minerals had been added to it. It was moist, which explained the snail invasion. The blood sorrel revealed that the soil seemed to be relatively acid, while Greater celandine indicated that the topography was similar to that of a forest. | I got that the soil was rich, but “disturbed” in the sense that several minerals had been added to it.
