    Hi, newbee here. Moved from The Kootenays in BC with a big beautiful garden to a condo in Vancouver, near the ocean, not a ton of sun and I'm working very hard to start my balcony garden from scratch:)

    Thank you. I've started with flowers, a clematis, some indoor sunflowers that I potted last week and a bunch of veggies still seeding or rooting from scraps. I had a very established garden at my home and now it's time to re-think and use the space and the climate here:) cant wait

    Jolly sending you a big friendly welcome from a Stewbie in Wis. I guess that was quite a move for you. From garden space to balcony space. Like you said it takes some rethinking. But one can grow a lot of veggies or flowers in small spaces. Have fun. :stew1:

    Hi JGJules. Welcome. Sorry to hear you have t downsize to garden at a shady condo, but at least you can still garden. Hope your new experience is a successful one.
