    Hi Sam, Rosa and I have a little giggle about drinking wine on her balcony :)
    I would water her balcony if I were nearer! It's a shame we are so far apart but who knows we may meet one day! I water all my neighbours front and back which is a bit of a chore when I have all mine to do.

    Rosa those colours are so pretty :)

    We would Rosa :luv:
    I would LOVE to see your balcony for real! There is so much of interest, every time I think I have seen it all something new pops in :gnthb:

    How did you start your balcony Rosa? I was hoping you would reply to the gardeners questions Rosa as I have loads to ask you. Did you start with a plan in mind or did it sort of grow on you as you added or people gave you presents?

    As for shopping, well I reckon we would wet ourselves laughing so much. And there would have to be lunch [a glass of wine too?] in a good restaurant. Only the best :hehe: Oh then a garden centre or two....
    One day. :wink:

    thanks peri, with the wind yesterday my climbers got a bit smashed up might have to cut some back after the disaster yesterday will see how they go.

    jazmine still cant find that thread maybe i should go to specsavers hehe, your welcome to visit anytime and the shopping idea sounds great and not to forget the few glasses of wine on my balcony or maybe a few bottles haha.
    i started my balcony just with a few pots of flowers and it went from there as i found the clematis did extremly well on my balcony then vicky on here sent me the cup and saucer vine seeds from portugal and after 3 years now they have really took off, my brother tiled the floor on my balcony and it makes it much nicer, then i decided a arch would look great in front of my kitchen window and now its covered with my climbers, put lots of garden lights all over and they are great on in the evenings.
