Hi, Plant pouches are great, hang them up and you'll have plants all up your wall and they don't take up much space.

It's amazing how much you can grow in a limited space. Depending on situation you can grow tomatoes, carrots etc If you want flowers, stick an odd lettuce or herb in with them. One gardening friend even had a small apple tree on balcony, so don't be afraid to experiment. I'm a container gardener and can grow a surprising variety of plants although I prefer edible plants The first photo is a cordyline, surrounded by nasturtiums, pipiche and Indian Mint. The second is some of my containers, each planted up with three different plants including peas, achocha, kale, leeks and marigolds, with a tromba di Albenga in a pot beside them and on the far side is strawberry popping corn in a pot. The third photo is cold sowing - seeds sown in bottles and left outside. Purple podded peas are stunning, the pink and purple flowers are followed by beautiful purple pea pods. Indian mint is a fantastic trailing mint with an amazing smell (nice tea from the leaves).
