Look how big ash tree is, y'all! I just watered and brought in the pots off the ledge. We had some rain earlier, but a few suburbs over there was golfball-sized hail (see @davedickeyyall's blog). The wind is kicking up again and my spidey druid sense said, leeeeet's maybe put the pots under the roof ...just in case. Because Colorado in springtime is a fickle beast, y'all.

The biggest and healthiest of the apple trees 💛

This one suffered after I transplanted into bigger pots, but thankfully seems to be well on the road to recovery. You can do it, little one!

I'm afraid this one has not recovered from the ordeal. 😢 I'm sorry! I should have waited to transplant them. It was too hot and they were too little.

This is by far the biggest marigold I've ever grown and she still doesn't have buds yet!

Tomatoes are still inside. I suppose I could put them outside since it's cooler now and they've been in their bigger pot a little over a week.

Denver's pride was this past weekend and someone left their flag as an offering to the tree after Sunday's parade. :)

That's about it from the Balcony Forest In The Sky. I hope y'all are having a good day!

Great balcony forest! Me loves it!! Trees for life yo! Rip lil one that didn't survive. Ah, the life of grower. If you keep growing you will inevidably always loose one here and there. The vibrance of the others, and the flag offering make up for it. Grow little forest grow 💚

Nice garden! No matter how big or small of a space you have plants are always nice! Sorry haven’t been around. I’m actually in the process of making a cannabis curation trail! So got the card yesterday! Maybe you can email me the instructions again. Thank you!

The card should have instructions on it - you can log the card on the website on the card so everyone can see where it travels. You find a new song you like, write it on the card, and pass it on to someone else.
Good luck with your curation trail!

Ok I’ll think of a cool post too!

Aww, I love your balcony jungle updates so much, such happy plants, you're doing really great Phe, I wish there were more like you taking charge of their space and growing what they can, no one would be hungry if everyone did this. <3

I think part of the problem is that our society teaches people to feel helpless and apathetic, that the problem is too big so why bother. Maybe my trees and tomatoes and flowers aren't much on their own, but man if everyone planted such it would seriously add up!

Nice balcony forest! Good idea to bring the plants in when there is a danger of hail! Just look at that ash grow! Nice little seedling. You're good for a few more years then for sure you will need that homestead!

I keep saying I want a tiny house in a forest. Maybe I'm going to plant that forest. 😊

Yes! Go for it!
