Welcome to c/BalconyGardening @ slrpnk.net!

A young community dedicated to balcony gardening.

About

Show off that vertical veggie garden 35 stories high. Or that bucket of potatoes you're proud of. Perhaps some fall mums that have been catching your eye through the sliding door into your living room. Any and all balcony gardens are welcome! Come and show your's off because we love to see it. :)

We also welcome ideas, tips, and items which have helped you in your balcony gardening journey. No balcony? Feel free to join in with your container garden with limited space too!

I placed him back into the pollinator flower mix of course.

I believe it was one of those every parent warns their child of to not touch them because they're poisonous.

What species was it?
