Gynie, spiders bring good luck! Not that I like them more because of this. I also have a terrace garden and I am spending very many warm afternoon and evenings out there now that winter's over. At night I watch the Eiffel Tower flicker in the distance.

Jo : evrything is moving with us and the plants should certainly like it as they will be facing the south, and west-south and not the north-west anymore !! that will be a real positive change. We have 2 balcony so they will be able to grow nicely.

I'm trying to grow the plants i used to find in my Grand parents garden. I certainly will not be able to get some pear tree, but i might give it a try one day ^^
At the moment i have : thyme, Lilly of he valley, big lilly, cherry plum trees ^^, eucheres, big poppy, carnation, red currant, recently i got wallflowers and sorrel (delicious). The next newcomer will be some rawspberries and the astonishing Lunaria.

For our own fantaisie we also have some others plants : Olive little tree, Lavander, Nerium Oleander, Callistemon, Bamboo, Mentha, new born Agapanthaceae and Campanula, Begonia maculata, Ficus et 3 types of Cactus.

Yes Satima,they have some little spots like the redcurrant tree ^^ with some shadows she is quite not visible !

Thank you for the news Marilyn: i shall be very lucky and happy as i discovered 3 others in the plants this afternoon, but they are really too small for my camera ^^

That must be one big balcony Gynie, we don't have room on ours for anything like that amount of plants. We grow a few herbs and a couple of hanging baskets of flowers.

most of them are tiny baby ones, as i prefer to see them grow from the seed ^^ but yes the balcony is quite a big one, we would love to move it with us, but we'll do the futur with 2 others balcony quite nice and big enough to have a diner instead ^^
