Hi K8 – Yep, my fig tree is in a container. They actually benefit from being a bit restrained, otherwise they can be a bit unruly! Figs need heat, so a north-facing balcony may not be your best bet. Talk to a reputable nursery in your area to see what type of fig will work for you. In the Pacific Northwest, Brown Turkey is a good bet.

Tatyana – Great! What nasturtium is that? I can’t remember what I planted!

Michelle – Nope, it’s open (there are screens on either end though).

Melanie – Do it! It’s great having things so close to the house.

Carri – Thank you :)

This is the perfect post for people who say they don’t have enough room to start a vegetable garden! Beautifully done!

This looks fabulous. Even though I have a garden I’m thinking of expanding food production in containers next year.

Very nice! Is the balcony enclosed? I would very much like to be more productive on my deck too. Inspiration!
