Thank you PV for your post all all great tips:) My balcony is facing north and there is a bit of sunlight in the front of in usually by noon. Then its all shade for the rest of the day...Lemon trees seem to be doing fine so this will be an experiment with herbs. I didn't know about carrots that they will not grow without full sunlight (too bad was excited for some sweet young carrots) but i will look into lettuce! Your basil is amazing. what kind of basil do you have? i bought seeds of sweet basil but saw some other kinds and had a little bit dilemma of which one to choose so went with sweet one. I like growing from seeds - more fun to watch and more satisfaction than buying a grown plant. Does growing broccoli or cauliflower require a big container? I might be interested in that but I don't have room for a big container on my balcony. Fortunately I am the only person who will be using herbs for cooking and veggies (if that works out for me) so I don't need a lot. I guess just a bit of everything that I like. I still want to get some dill seeds. I bought 2 new containers - one smaller one medium and will have to figure out what to plant there.... Thanks for tips on plants and flowers! i am interested more in once that will live longer than one season... and that will add some color to the balcony. unfortunately its more of a concrete balcony and I don''t have any railings to use for attaching a windowbox. SO I am left with whatever pots/containers I put on the floor i guess. I am excited to expand flowers/plants on my patio. It's probably not he best time of the year for it -fall - but in I live in San Diego so another 2 months should still be quite warm before it's around 45-50 degrees in the winter. I also attached below pictures of how the balcony looks like and other ones in the building (it wasn't a sunny day so actually it looks a bit more gray than usually): Magda

I have several seeds, but my list is not updated yet... My new arrivals: Basil, Lemon Coriander/Cilantro Cucumber, Lemon Cucumber, Spacemaster Lettuce, Salad Bowl Onion, Evergreen Bunching Tomato, Big Rainbow Heirloom Tomato, Black Krim Heirloom Tomato, Mortgage Lifter Heirloom Tomato, Yellow Pear Heirloom Carrot (denver half-long I think) Tomato, Brandywine (Might have a few seeds left.. not many) Dill I'm interested in Strawberries, Blueberries (Pretty much anything sweet, other berries would be ok too) And also disease/pest resistant tomatoes that do well in poor soil. I want some insurance since I have so many heirlooms...
