Firstly, I think you mispelled it. It's DIARY, not DAIRY. Dairy means things like milk, butter, and cheese. Make sure to spell it right or it means two very different things!
It's very good overall, there are just a few grammaticall errors. I will go in order and correct any mistakes I see.
1. Previously, I used to live in a big house with 2 patches.
What does patches mean? Are you thinking of the word "yard" or "backyard"?
2. I sometimes dropped by her house and exchanged my plants that she didn't have with her. She took me to the roof of her house, some evergreens and succulents just came to my eyes.
The idea makes sense, but the grammar is a little weird. A better way to say it is "I sometimes dropped by her house and exchanged plants with her." Also, I think you mean to say "caught my eyes" (slang for got your attention) instead of "came to my eyes". Came to my eyes is incorrect.
3. Whatever the beverage bottles or cans of milk powder were all repurposed by her as a container for growing plants.
Again, it makes sense, but this is not grammatically correct. Instead, say : "She repurposed bottles as containers for growing plants"
4. I hopped to come back home with excitement.
Did you mean to say "hope"? If so, it doesn't make sense to say you hope (wish) you were excited. That means you weren't happy about this, but clearly you were. If you did mean to use the verb "hopped", it should be : I hopped back home with excitement.
5. think I might be affected by her
Nothing wrong with this, but a nice word to use is "influence". You could say, "I think she had a big influence on me."
6. "I couldn't resist to look for any special plants and pick them up. "
I couldn't resist looking for special plants and picking them up. Keep the same tense throughout.
7. "once to see how he growed flowers"
How he grew flowers
8. "saw many pots layed on the damp and a bit dark corridor."
I saw many pots LAID out in the damp and dark corridor.
Otherwise it's very good and the way you write English is very eloquent and nice! It was an interesting diary, I agree with you!
