A young community dedicated to balcony gardening.
Show off that vertical veggie garden 35 stories high. Or that bucket of potatoes you're proud of. Perhaps some fall mums that have been catching your eye through the sliding door into your living room. Any and all balcony gardens are welcome! Come and show your's off because we love to see it. :)
We also welcome ideas, tips, and items which have helped you in your balcony gardening journey. No balcony? Feel free to join in with your container garden with limited space too!

I snagged a deal on grocery store basil. What sized pot(s) would be best to repot this into as 13 stems is a bit crowded for a 4" pot lol. Trying to keep this lil' fella happy.
My plan is to overwinter the basil soon and then bring it back on the balcony in the spring.
also take a look at companion planting – a classic trio is basil plus something from the nightshade family plus something from the onion genus – ex. basil + tomato + scallions, or basil + chilies + garlic
This is really interesting, thanks for sharing. Growing beans that can climb up corn or sunflowers as a trellis is pretty ingenious.
