A young community dedicated to balcony gardening.
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!

I snagged a deal on grocery store basil. What sized pot(s) would be best to repot this into as 13 stems is a bit crowded for a 4" pot lol. Trying to keep this lil' fella happy.
My plan is to overwinter the basil soon and then bring it back on the balcony in the spring.
Well, a much larger pot for sure. One challenge on a balcony is plants dry out much faster than inside due to wind and direct sun. The extra soil will help hold enough water. Basil don’t like getting wilted. Perhaps avoid terracotta too since they dry out even faster due to being porous.
