City Balcony Scene

Time to plant some greens! I decided to use decorations from my wedding to spruce up my balcony. Notice the monograms? Those were my cake toppers!
Some things have seasoned over. My Climbing Hydrangea is growing green again! This is the third year I've had it. Last year I got one flower, this year I'm hoping for more. I think it's trying to tell me that it's ready for a yard...
I used the cranberry crates from my wedding as planter boxes. I didn't have the nerve to pour soil directly in them so I got creative with some pots and planted some yellow flowers. Some other things I planted this year were strawberries and broccoli. Later this spring I will plant my favorite things to grow: tomatoes. Home grown tomatoes and basil are a small piece of Spring-time heaven!
Lena (aka the star of my blog) loves a good sun spot! Happy city gardening!
