    Hi all, I'm David & I'm a newbie here.

    I've done most of my gardening on balconies. Though I did have an allotment for a couple of years. I've also been a volunteer gardener at a local MS centre. I've lived in a ground floor flat with a balcony for the last 20 years. Balcony as seen from outside (Centre) 2nd August 2021.jpg

                Thank you, Rose! Hope you get on well!

                That was last year when the balcony probably looked the best it did all summer. I'd frighten you if you could see it now!
