It was very tough to know I would not be planting in my gardens this year.
But I am a positive thinker.
I allowed myself time to realize that though it was true that I was leaving my gardens -
I did learn to garden by having them - and I can do it again.
I believe that just because things are going to be different, it doesn't mean different is bad.
Different can mean an opportunity to do new things you might actually like.

And.. I realized on my balcony at B2.0, I can plant in containers! I smiled.
It might not be a whole garden, but I can plant and it's a start.
That being said, you didn't think I'd use normal potting containers did you? Silly.
An enamelware roasting pan seemed like a pretty good planter to me.
Chippy, even better. I spotted it at Rose Floral, a local garden shop.
I asked if they could drill some drainage holes in it for me.
They did!
I filled it with plants on the smallish side.
It's kind of a fairy garden, but not really.
It's an in-betweener.
I named it No. 15, my apartment number.
(letters and numbers done with a Cricut.)
I'm working on my balcony being a little 'outside room.'
It looks pretty cute when looking out from inside.
This oval shape was the perfect fit for the cool table - found last year at a garage sale.
Sometimes it's good to be different.
Bright is happy.
Can you feel it?
xo jeanne.
