I started this blog back in July and I don’t know about you, but I’ve had a lot of fun talking about container gardening with fellow plant lovers (and future plant lovers). Thank you very much for visiting Life on the Balcony, it would have really sucked to just talk to myself.
I’d like to especially thank regular visitors like Gen of Northcoast Gardening, Louise of Buddy Garden Blog, Jen of Muddy Boot Dreams, Nancy of Soliloquy, Cindy of A Walk Down the Garden Path, TC of The Write Gardener, Alexa of Invisible Bees, Julie from A Succulent Life, Prue of Totally Inept Balcony Gardener (which isn’t true!) and Adriana of A Victory Home Garden. If I forgot someone, please accept my apologies! Thank you all for your tips, advice, encouragement and commiseration! Blogging has been a whole heck of a lot of fun for me, and I hope for you too.

Hi Fern! Have a happy and healthy new year!
Hi Fern
great chatting to you too!!! Hope 2009 is a wonderfully green year for you. Ours started with a very light sprinkling of rain! Yay.
regards from Prue (who is actually quite inept at times, today i declared armageddon on the spider mites)
Hey Fern! It is just past midnight and I hope you are either having a lot of fun somewhere or tucked safely in bed! I can’t believe you have had your blog going only since July! Time sure flies! It is so well done, I would have thought you’d been at it for years already!!! Congrats on 6 months of fun wonderfulness! Thanks for mentioning me! I have enjoyed reading your blog so much as well. Thanks!!!
Happy New Year!
Fern,
Happy New Year to ya! Thanks for all the container inspiration this year. Keep up the good work, I always love visiting you here!
I, too, figured you’d been at this for awhile. I love visiting you here because you’ve got great plant taste, inspirational posts and you’re a talented writer, too! I look forward to having our paths cross some more in 2009!
Aw, thank you so much for the mention, Fern! It feels wonderful to have a garden blogging buddy! I love your writing “voice” and it’s always a pleasure to see what you’re up to here.
