Two words that definitely describe our balcony garden.
Plant update:
Spinach - nill. The last plant to survive the mouse attack died, from something, maybe asphyxiation.
Celery - These blasted plants wont stop growing - they need like a foot of room each and I don't have it - I've been trying to give them more room - but there are only so many containers I can squeeze onto a balcony. I've taken to carrying them two by two to one of my friend's house who has a yard and can hopefully give them a happy hope in the great outdoors - Maybe though I'll talk to the door keeper and see if they will let me invade the flower patch that they tend out side the front door - How will I explain celery to them??
Also - Celery does sprout and even root if you keep the stalks in water and then move it to dirt - unfortunately it also go to seed - so my brilliant plant to grow extra celery won't work - the celery from seed is the best way to go.
Cilantro - Well fortunately, I didn't plant the whole packet of cilantro, and 6 little weak sprouts have sprouted. They seem rather decimated, but the leaves appear to look like celery - and since celery is the only thing that grows on the balcony - I have hope.
Tomatoes - two plants are growing - and I think they even have buds forming. They had been growing in two liter bottles - but I finally transplanted them into slightly bigger containers - Only slightly - like I said there are only so many containers you can squeeze onto a balcony.
Rhubarb - I have two sweet little rhubarb spouts who recovered from the mouse attack and are waiting to be taken out to the Hut and transplanted. I then foresee that they will live happily and sturdily ever after with minimal care. Thank goodness for rhubarb.
2 mystery plants - so I have two cups of dirt that each sprouted green leafy things. I don't know what they are - but my garden has been such a fiasco that I don't want to kill them - maybe one of them is one of the pepper seeds that didn't grow - so for now I am watering them and enjoying the greenery.

I couldn't find your e-mail address so I'm resorting to leaving a comment on your blog...sorry about not responding to coming to visit before the concert tonight. We have a birthday party to go to at 6pm. We are meeting Cara Denney at about 8:15 at the McDonalds at Poshova Ploshcha, if you want to meet up before the concert.

that's PoshTova Ploshcha. I hate transliterating...I always mess it up.
Hey,
No problem. I was trying to find your email today too on one of your sites without success. I was beginning to fear I may have offended you with my Paul McC comment (which was meant in fun, but maybe better left unsaid - sorry)
Hope it went well despite the rain. Thanks for the meeting info, we may have taken you up, but we had arranged to have some folk from church over.
