    Just saying hi. My style of gardening is loosely described as Mediterranean, patio pots, pond area plantings, sedums, prairie grasses. I know… eclectic! They’re all in a medium-sized garden, east/west sun with a fantastic, lovely warm south facing wall for my favourite plant - red valerian, with some Mexican fleabane thrown in. It’s taken a few years to settle in, but is pretty much there now.

    All the best, Chris

                  I used to be on Garden Friends, and if you're the same balc, I was amazed by how many flowers you packed into your balcony. Just amazing!

                    @ChrisM6 I'm still on Garden Friends. What was your avatar there?

                    Thanks for the compliment! I have more flowers on the balcony than many people have in their gardens!

                    I'm just putting out the summer flowering plants.
