Thank you for such long comment, definitely has given me a lot of perspective. Maybe I really was just setting myself up for a failure expecting some big change within myself and nature when I started doing this, and not just something smaller and more organic. Will definitely try to visit outside city as often as possible, especially during summer.
It looks like my problem is not really engaging with the nature, I went into to, I sat down, I listened and touched, but never more after that. There were some nice ideas around observing animals and reading more about the plants I'm surrounded by, and I'm definitely gonna implement that, maybe create some diary outside my normal notes.
I really want to grow my own herbs, so it really looks like my only choice is to just try my best until it works out. Or maybe it's my room, I haven't cleansed it yet since I wanted to get into it more before doing spells and rituals, but maybe my space is just a bad place for plants. I'll see. I'm definitely now more motivated to try again, so thank you again!
