Too cool for subject

Loevely photos! I spy some peony shots growing near the greens :)

I'm so envious, I long for a garden, just a little place for planting and digging and enjoy my flowers, instead I have an undersized balcony full of pots.

Kiwis are sloooow growers, my father is tending some in a borrowed allotment and it's taking ages to see the first flowers, do you have only one plant? Or do you know if any neighbours have another? Because the female plants need the pollen from the male flowers to produce fruits.

Sorry! I missed your comment, never got my email.

The kiwi I was looking at is self-fertile but I think we just don't get enough sun here anyway to make a kiwi viable sadly. I think I'm going with fan-training a William pear instead (which also needs a pollinator but lots of people have pear trees, I figure I'll be OK).

You can grow a lot on a balcony. Cucumbers, grapes, tomatoes, peppers, chilles, aubergines... Any chance of pictures of yours? :o)
