Balcony Gardening
from: Lawn and Garden MagicIt really doesn't matter if you live in the country or city; you can always find somewhere to grow a garden, even if it's just a small one. If you do live in the city, instead of using your balcony to store bikes or your barbeque, create a gorgeous, relaxing outdoor retreat by using container plants by following a few daily tips. For gardening on very long and narrow balconies, use shrubs, different height trees and plants at the ends and corners, to add interest and round out the hard lines.
Create points of interest by grouping bright colors and interesting shapes together. More daily tips for gardening are to keep repeating a plant grouping or plant throughout your balcony area and use colorful flowers for accents only. Show off your large plants, shrubs and trees, by using interesting shapes and bright, beautiful colors are great daily tips. For gardening on your balcony, consider how your garden looks from inside your house. Buy trees and shrubs that not only bloom in the spring but also display wonderful fall colors. In climates that are cold, move your plants indoors or line containers with builders foam and set your plants in them.
Here are some daily tips for gardening on your balcony. For height, hibiscus blooms the entire summer and grows up to three or four feet tall.

Balcony gardening is the same as traditional plant and flower gardening since they require water, soil and sun. You can purchase a hose that attaches to your kitchen sink which will make watering your balcony plants far easier than carting pails of water outside.
Plants in containers dry out far quicker than plants do outdoors, in the ground. Check each plant daily to see if it requires watering. Use fertilizer monthly or check the label to see the recommendations and follow them. Weeding is usually not a problem with balcony gardens. The last two daily tips for gardening on your balcony are to remove any dead or yellowing growth and sit back, relax and enjoy your garden.
