City gardening
Gardening on a balcony in the city doesn't require a wheelbarrow, only lots of trips up and down from the underground parking garage and then up in the elevaror and through the hallway and into the living room, then outdoors!
The plants were purchased in Wisconsin at my nearby garden center and transported back to Chicago.. Prices were much more reasonable than at the city greenhouses.
Busik wants to participate in the action, or possibly he is just looking for a cozy place for a nap!
The neighbors requested the purchase of plants for their planter boxes, too. Red Superbells were chosen for them, and pink for in my kids planters.
After several attempts over the years of planting various other types of flowers Superbells have performed the best.
The vines in all the boxes are the same and will add some unity to the front of the building as they grow down.
Now to hookup the collapsible garden hose to the kitchen sink to get everything well wartered.

Wow, your balcony garden looks so nice! The pink flowers are really beautiful. But my favorite part is Busik sleeping in the pot! I love cats a lot, and he looks so cute and cozy there. It seems like a lot of hard work to make a garden in the city, but your balcony looks amazing now.❤️❤️
This is at my kids condo in Chicago... My home is in the woods and is difficult to keep nice because of all the critters I have coming onto my deck. This raccoon damage happened last night.
Oh no, that is so sad to see.😢 It is always heartbreaking for a gardener to wake up to a broken pot like this. Living in the woods sounds wonderfully peaceful, but I can imagine how frustrating it must be to deal with naughty critters like raccoons messing with your beautiful plants. I really hope the plant survives the fall.
Saludos nos tante el sacrificio vale la pena cuando se ve resultado ,no son todas las personas que cultivan o saben cultivar ,pero las flores en los balcones son una vista maravillosa
Gracias! Their balcony is a lovely place to be!
Pink one are so full of colors. The whole setup is so beautiful and decent. Once again, the cat is playing hide and seek 🤭.
I really wanted to reuse that one for anyone who didn't see it on Waves! I believe you are right about hide and seek!
I love it! Very nice city garden, @melinda010100! 👍
Thanks! Their balcony is a lovely place for summertime meals!
looking good Melinda , although in our building we need to hang the planters on the inside of the balcony not on the outside so that people won't get wet when they walk underneath it and you are watering them. !PIMP
Their building has a lovely front garden, so plants and a grassy area are directly below them. I can see why it wouldn't be good to get people wet on the sidewalk below!

Hoping for a good growing season!
That's the only way to garden in the big city! Smart to buy the plants in Wisconsin though, it saves a fortune!

I'd be thanking God for elevators....LOL....
When I was young though, it would not have been a problem. Love the rail boxes and the flowers they chose.
They are on the 4th floor. Carrying bags of dirt up all those steps would have quickly grown old, no matter what age I was!
I understand. I lived in a third floor apartment for 6 years before I turned 50. I got used to it, but I could not do it today! Groceries and dirt and whatever else, up three flights.
No... !

Busik looks comfortable sleeping in the pot; it reminds me of a friend who had a cat who did the same thing, and he joked that it was because he had planted catnip seeds and his pet was waiting for the grass to grow.

Funny! Cats are so odd with their love of boxes and various circle shaped places!
