Have you been inspired by something you saw here at Life on the Balcony? I hope you’ll share a photo of your creation in the Life on the Balcony Flickr group. I can’t wait to see what you guys submit! Be sure to tell us which post you used as a starting point.
So far, CalKT has been the most active member, but you can put a serious dent in her lead by adding a bunch of photos today (HINT! 
). Check out some of these posts if you haven’t tried any Life on the Balcony projects yet:
- Made in the Shade – A Container Recipe for Bright Shade
- All Black Container Recipe
- Butterfly Garden in a Window Box
- How to Create a Hanging Basket
- Container Recipe Featuring Lemon Zest Petunias
With your guys’ help, we’ve already built up a great collection of photos. We started by posting a “how does your balcony look right now” before shot. Then we posted self-portraits taken within our container gardens (check out Simone rdp’s!). And two weeks ago I challenged you to go out into your neighborhood and look for ideas amongst your neighbors’ container gardens.
Also, does anyone know a thing or two about shade fabric? A fellow group member needs some advice about which type of shade fabric to purchase. I really encourage you guys to post your container gardening questions in the discussion section of the Flickr group. That way, you’ll not only get my response, but (hopefully) the responses of the other great gardeners I know are group members.
