Balcony Oasis – Part 3
I have been working on my Balcony Oasis over the last 2 weekends. As you see there is not much space but I plan on getting as much on the balcony as I can.
I still need to do a few things before I can call it is finished.
The table and chairs need to be painted. I am not sure if I want to leave them white or paint it red (I am leaning towards red). I also need something to create different heights that will not take up much room. Any suggestions?
I guess some of you may wonder why the styrofoam cup is in the picture; well it is because my grandson wanted it there since it is a plant that he grew in daycare. He told me that he wanted it on the balcony with the other flowers. How could I refuse? I will have to get a proper container for his plant.
In Balcony Oasis 2, I mentioned that I wanted a plant that attracts butterflies. I did purchase a plant called Dianthus which is supposed to bring the butterflies. We shall see.
Thanks for visiting!
All comments welcome.

That cup reminds me of our plants, when we were small. Any broken teacup or bowl used to become a home for a bean or fenugreek.

Me too. I am looking for somethig special to put his plant in. It looks like grass so not to sure how long it will last. He might have to plant some more seeds.
