The neighbors across the alley have some pretty intense balcony gardens that I enjoy watching, too. Posted by Picasa
The current view from the kitchen/family room. I am proud of the morning glories (left)climbing up the trellis netting that I rigged on top of the green plastic trellis. They'll reach the upper balconey soon. Posted by Picasa
View of the main deck from the upper balcony Posted by Picasa
These are the petunias and sweet potato vines growing on the upper deck off the master bedroom. The idea is that the vines will hang downward and create a hanging garden over the lower main deck. Posted by Picasa
The trellis covering the ac unit has morning glories and black eyed Susan vine climbing up towards the upper deck, and verbena, vinca, and cosmos down lower. Posted by Picasa
That's the sweet 100 tomato on the left. It's going to take over the deck anytime now. Posted by Picasa
