I just snagged these shots on my phone of some containers that will be featured in my book, My Balcony, My Garden. I’m going to go back tomorrow and take the “official” photos.
By the way, I’m still looking for someone in the Southwest to profile for the book. If you are an apartment/condo gardener in Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, or Texas, I’d love to interview you and feature your garden. I’ll send you a free copy of the book when it comes out. Sound interesting?

Very cool!
I’m loving the gold sedum in the first pic! Whats the chartreuse plant in the second photo, under what I’m assuming is a citrus tree?
Thanks meemsnyc!
Steve–Yeah, I really love how other plants pop off that chartreuse color. The one planted underneath the mandarin tree in the second photo is Sedum makinoi ‘Ogon.’
beautiful!
I have an apartment garden here in Arlington, Texas! A friend came to your page and posted a link to your website. You can look at my garden on Facebook if you want to! My name is Rino Manfroni.
There is nobody else named like that on Facebook, so you will definitely be able to find me!
Take care!
Rino–You’re quite the gardener! I think I’ve found my Southwestern balcony gardener! I’ll email you with my questions. Arlington…Go Rangers!

Lovely living mulch, so dainty!
Your phone takes great shots! Love the combination’s and the book should be great!

Awesome plant combos Fern. I love that chartreuse sedum.

I’m writing from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia! My plants get “attacked” by mites .. insects…. Don’t really know how to stop these “unwelcome guests” eating up my beautiful greens… Love to have your feedback!
Evelyn–Do you know exactly what pest is attacking your plants?
