Hello Everyone,

I received a grumpy email the other day that spoke of the need to garden or not. *Jane was quite angry in an odd sort of way.

Essentially her message begged the question: "Why just because I have a balcony do I have to have a 'darn' pot? Why is it that people just can't keep their noses out of my life and stop telling me to grow things that I do not want to grow."

Oh dear.

I said that she doesn't have to grow anything and could do something else with her balcony space including leaving it bare if she wished. I made some suggestions for low care containers and that was that. Each to his own we know.

What would you have done? Or said? Do you feel driven to look after flower pots and vege-containers just because?

Let us know your thoughts, thanks.

Lestie-

I like your answer.

She probably lives in New York where balcony space is sparse & people feel that if you have it, it should be put to good use (lol).

Meanwhile, I have been growing organic herbs inside my home this spring. They are looking beautiful. In Chicago, most of our days are 67-80F, but we still have the occasional 55F day too. Our nights are definitely in the 50s.

It's time for some of them to be re-potted to larger pots. Should I be looking to taking them outside?
