Fiona's balcony garden

Our younger daughter, Fiona, lives in a 3rd-floor flat in Ferney-Voltaire, France. She has a long, narrow balcony that faces roughly South-West, and it gets full sun for several hours a day (sometimes too much sun).
Since Fiona has inherited from me a strong love of gardening, she has put her balcony to good use.

In a series of pots of various types and sizes, Fiona has established a very diverse collection of plants, some of them ornamental and some of them productive. For instance, she has a number of different Petunias, like this bicolour purple-and-white one:

This lovely golden Chrysanthemum:

And this unruly but nonetheless decorative Pelargonium:

The edible plants are also strongly represented. This is a very healthy specimen of Purple Basil:

Here are two varieties of Tomato - a plum variety (Roma):

and a red Cherry variety (Gartenperle):

This is a pot of mixed lettuces:

And here are some radishes, swelling up nicely:

Stars of the show of course, are the Chilli plants (Cayenne), some of which are well-behaved and regular:

Whilst others are non-conformist and very confused:

Fiona's achievements just serve to demonstrate the fact that you don't actually need a huge space to be a successful gardener. Care and attention, and a love of your plants is more important! I suspect that much of Fiona's success is also due to her prowess in successfully producing her own special brand of home-made compost, which you can read about here...
