Pictures, my first balcony garden!

I'm new to the forums, so hello everyone! I've been browsing around reading posts for awhile. I finally bought flowers and started my container garden on my balcony, and here are some pics! Any tips are always appreciated.

The petunias have actually grown a bit since I've planted them (May 26), I'll post some updated pictures later, I'm actually on my way to work soon.

You can see a window basket (empty) on the railing; once I find a liner (Home Depot is sold out!) I will probably plant gerbera daisies in there, but I'm not totally sure yet.

I also have some herbs on my table, I will post those later!

Hi summergrl and welcome! Your container combinations look great and are so cheerful!!! :-D I like the plant stands too.

Look forward to seeing what else you plant and if you hang around here long enough, you'll pack up your space like so many of us. LOL

I love the color combos! And your plant stands are really pretty. I also like the white lights. I keep telling dh I want some, but he thinks it will make the place look like a cheap Mexican restaurant. So not true! I'd love to see your window box when you're done.

Such happy-looking combos - you're off to a good start!

How big is your balcony? Only 3 containers? You need someplace to sit or something? Oh, you did say you've just started! LOL!

Very nice, summer!

*Waves at PV* :-D

Have to get some pictures uploaded of this year's balcony in order to get some enabling going. Been busy repotting and trying to jam things in somehow. LOL

Pretty pretty combos. What are the star-shaped yellow flowers? They are really cute. Where are your updated pics?
