This winter hasnt been too bad, but Im so excited for spring to arrive. Its been raining for about 3 days straight, but its better than snow! Its been warm!! Right now its 45º :)
I recently moved into my own apartment with my boyfriend, so Im going to be doing some balcony gardening ;) Of course, I can still go to moms house anytime and get my fill of digging in the soil there haha.
For my new place Im going to have a container water garden with a small fountain. Im going to have window baskets that will hang on the edge of the balcony railing since its curved and not wide enough for pots to sit on. Also going to have a hanging bird feeder and a hanging plant or two. The bf is afraid *lol* Ive also got some chairs to sit out there that I stole from mom ;)
Went over to moms Thursday, and did some impromptu gardening. I snipped off old, dead foliage, ripped up the chocolate mint that lived through the winter(heh learned my lesson on that one! I still like it, but Im going to put it in containers from now on!). I had some parsley that will need replaced (I didnt expect it to live). I dont know if my coreopsis and gaillardias made it yet. Need to prune the Butterfly Bush and roses, and I have a rose in the sunroom that wants planting, along with some asters and a lilac. Oh yeah, and my liatris didnt make it :(

It's so nice to get back out into the garden, isn't it?
Good luck with your balcony garden.

Congratulations on the new apartment.

I can feel your excitment Jen. Isn't it great when the weather heats up and everything starts to grow again? I'll look forward to seeing photographs of all your containers once they're planted up.
