Balcony Garden in Florida

Do you love plants, but don't have a yard? If you have a balcony or patio area, you can grow a beautiful container garden. The key is to select plants that will grow well in the conditions you have and respect their needs.

Spring Growth in the Herb Garden

Some wonderful things are happening in the herb garden.  Below are some photos of the amazing spring growth.

While mature cilantro leaves are broad, the new shoots grow in spikes of green similar to dill.  Above are some young cilantro leaves.
 This explosion of yellow color recently emerged from my dill plant.


The greek oregano grows in shoots of purple crimson leaves.  As the leaves mature, the purple fades to dark green.
As the mint plant grows, the leaves grow broader and wider.  The mint plant also grew several of these lovely blooms.  Small purple flowers opened one by one on this miniature bouquet of mint flowers.
