Rosas Balcony 2009

hi peri thank you its nice to have ornaments aswell as flowers makes the place more interesting, you will have to take pics to show me of your things, the blackbird windmill sounds very interesting

 

Hey Rosa

Our Morrisons didn't have any clematis in but my friend said I could have some of hers when I go over.

Also I love honeysuckle, how do you think that would do on the balcony?

Oh and like Peri I love your nik naks! I have wind chimes and candle holders and a green man myself, not quite as many but I don't seem to have the aforementioned tardis properties of your balcony!

Matt.

 

mafamoo thats nice of your friend, honeysuckle is great when it grows and climbs but gets very woody so i dont think i would get it on a small balcony, B&Q have a good selection of clematis little dearer but they are bigger climbers than morrisons more established, maybe look in garden centres for them and a good idea to ask someone at a garden centre what you could grow on your small balcony other than clematis.
pleased you like my tardis haha

 

I really couldn't resist!

I hardly go to B&Q so I probably won't get one from there. Thanks for the tip on Honeysuckle, think I'll leave it alone, and you're right I should ask around my garden centre, someone there might be having an off day and decide to be helpful :P

 

nice one mafamoo, was thinking fushias might be ok on your balcony, hope you asked in your garden centre. heres pics of my fushias in my hanging baskets.

 

hi Rosa your balcony is stunning your little of heaven

 

arghhh thanks high kype pleased you like it and thanks for lovely comments

 

More pretty pictures Rosa......i just love your balcony!
So so pretty.

 

hi penny thanks ever so much for the lovely comments

 

Hi Rosa, I was wondering how long it has taken you to get your balcony to how it is now and what do your neighbours think? Bet they are envious!!

 

Oh my! Those Fuchias sure are beautiful! How did I miss them in your other pics?

I'm looking at hanging a window box from the railings (I've seen one in B&M's I like) and I think a couple of dwarf fuchias would be perfect either side (I'm a stickler for symmetry).

Thanks for the idea, I'll get right on it! I got a small clematis off my friend which I've potted up against a trellis I never remember being there, but am glad it is!

I've yet to go to the garden centre, there's not one near here so the one we visit is a bit of a trek, it will probably wait until we're passing

Thanks again for the help,

Matt.

 

jazmine its taken me around 5 years to get balcony to the way it is as all my climbers take around 2 to 3 years to establish, my neighbours think it looks lovely, my neighbour downstairs she always pops along and looks up to have a look she loves it.

matt a window box will be perfect on your balcony, pleased you got your clematis what colour flowers will they be and thanks for the lovely comments of my fuschias.
