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!

From the height of summer this year (infosec.pub)

My garden in June of this season. Everything came together to make this the most lush and vibrant season I've ever had - a very mild summer, more watering and fertilizing than I've done in the past, carefully nurtured local predator populations thriving and keeping pests mostly in check, and a rare frostless winter starting everything off strong.

It's been a very good year.

What are the vines? They almost look like theres blackberries in there from the leaves, but somehow they seem less hateful than the ones in my own yard...

It's a mix of morning glory, moonflower, grape, and a thornless climbing rose - all very gentle. They spread and climb prodigiously, especially the morning glory and moonflower, and went up that light string there without much intervention needed besides a bit of tidying up.

The way the leaves and petals glow when the light shines through them, wow.
