Balcony or garden?

[daenelia]

Do you have a balcony or garden?

We live in a 10-story high apartment or flat, and we have a balcony. I have some potted plants and flowers, which have all died by now. Most of them were one-year plants. So no surprise there.

We had violets and some heather. But I was most impressed by the dianthus, which was hardy and pretty. I should have been able to keep it for another year, but the weather was either too dry or too hot.

Any tips for plants on balconies, by the way?

we have neither. we have a back yard which was destroyed by our former roommate's 97 pound mutt and her lack of cleaning up after him. don't have the time or the money to fix it and now that we have 2 small dogs it would be impossible to keep our garden. Also we happen to be moving into an rv once we can afford one so there's no point in having a garden so we'll keep to a few plants growing inside once we do have the rv. I'm very much into the natural healing properties of plants and using them first before modern medications.
