Since we have been working on the nursery and our office reno these past couple of months (pics to come soon, btw), the patio garden has become a wee bit neglected... ok, kind of sad, really. Most of our balcony houses empty containers of soil and no plants... with the exception of a few that have magically survived since last year. My green onion plant, somehow managed to survive the winter and is making a nice comeback... and our little staghorn tree is starting to sprout too. So yes, only extreme close-ups of those two lovelies today... since if I panned out, you would see our otherwise barren patio. I think I will try and pick up some plants and seeds this weekend... any suggestions for a small patio?

cherry tomatoes! The plant grows pretty easily and then you have snack food growing right on your patio
i have 5 plants in the house. i would love to have a garden with herbs and tomatoes etc. that's what i would do if i were you, i guess it depends on the light you get in your patio
I love jasmine. They smell so nice in the spring!
I am a flower fan myself :-)
I am hoping that my cherry tomatoes volunteer from last year in the giant container :-)
I need to get some flowers planted too. bare planters are no fun!
I just love growing basil and cilantro. It smells so good! Thyme is really cute too.
my little garden on the patio has been neglected as well. ugh. you've inspired me to fix that.

I wish I could help! I have a black thumb when it comes to gardening, ha ha. I know nothing!
Valerie, they look great :)
I am all for colour, I cram as much as I can into my pots, which reminds me I will have to go shopping for plants soon too! Have fun. T :)
Our peppermint has thrived. And we really don't have a green thumb here. I would give it a try.
The staghorn tree looks really pretty, I don't think we have those over here. As for suggestions, I haven't been growing things for long enough to have any yet, I'm still experimenting... This year I'll try miniature roses, cherry tomatoes, strawberries, sweet peas and peas among others on my balcony, I hope they do well. =) And various herbs are always nice!
I just noticed my green onions making a come back after a long alberta winter! I was a little shocked! xx
If I could only have one plant it would have to be a tomato. It is hard to beat a fresh homegrown tomato in a sandwich or salad on a hot summers day!
i love a bit of green inside.. - im so bad though...i tend to kill all my house plants! i have no idea haha...
If you are anything like me I would suggest a cactus- very low maintenance ;) You will have to post pictures when you get the new plants!
I'm a hopeless gardener so I'm no help to you. Goodluck!
I recently mixed a bunch of flower seeds in a small bowl. Then I carefully sprinkled them in prepared pots. I can't wait to see what pops up! :)
These two photos are so beautiful and relaxing... keep at the plants you have... they're doing okay.
Any kind of herb. I love the scent of rosemary. Tomatoes. Nothing like tomatoes ripe from the garden. They do well in pots too!
I also grew kale this year...but the local bunny family made salad of it before I could. I don't mind sharing.
a large rectangular white ceramic pot of honeysuckle with a a metal grid to stretch out upon would be pretty, smell amazing and it makes for a healthy tea
I love your closeups!
