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!

Wow, this is very useful information! Thank you for sharing. I'm interested in your irrigation system... Can you tell us more about it? (or maybe even make a community post about it :P)
Also, for those who aren't familiar:
"One of the classifications you often see on a tomato plant or packet of tomato seed is ‘Determinate’ or ‘Indeterminate’. In a nutshell, these terms describe whether the actual plant grows like a bush (Determinate) or like a vine (Indeterminate)." Source
Determinate grows until it reaches a set size, puts out all its flowers, then all the tomatoes ripen around the same time. It's great if you are a farmer, or you have space for many plants to stagger when they ripen, or if you want to can tomatoes. Indeterminate puts out flowers as it grows, so you have tomatoes at all stages at once. I had a single cherry tomato plant that easily gave me 300 tomatoes this year.
Maybe I will make a post about the irrigation. It really helped my gardening cause before, I'd inevitably travel for a week during the summer and come back to a bunch of dead plants.
