Windy Balcony needs plants

wow thanks fran!

I went to garden centre and ended up buying a Honeysuckle cos the winter jasmines had no leaves :(
I am SOOO rubbish at this gardening thing that i cant get the bloomin thing out of the pot for fear of damaging it!!!
Dear god theres no hope for me lol

I may well go back and get one tho seeing as they will flower soon.

 

I have a balcony that gets hit with the wind as i am on the top floor 3 floors up,have pictures up in my sections around the forum.
I have jasmine it is lovely a white flowered one nothing deters it from growing, great coverage.
I also have honeysuckle which grows fantastic, you cant go far wrong with these two climbers.
The first year these climbers will establish themselves you should get flowers on the second year, good luck enjoy

 

ahhh i see.

Thanks Rosa!!!!

So if i DO go get a winter Jasmine too spread from the other corner, will it actually have leaves as well as flowers soon?

 

yes! it's evergreen

 

*blushes sooo red*

I did tell u all i was absolutely useless lol
ok well i will get a winter jasmine aswell...

In the mean time, HOW do i get the honeysuckle out of the pot without damaging it???!!

Poor lil thing

 

What I do is gently squeeze the pot away from the side of the soil in the pot, all the way round, then turn it carefully more or less upside down, with a hand over the top of the soil, and supporting the stems, and tap the base of the pot. It usually slips out then. If not, then water well, and it should slip out more easily.

And no need to blush!!! :D

 

ahh i see

Ha ha that should be interesting its taller than me

I am determined! i WILL beat my ugly balcony lol

 

I'd water it first then!
