One Gardener's Garbage is Another Gardener's Gold
September 21, 2008 – 3:25 pm
It’s starting to cool down here, leaves are turning yellow and there is the occasional frost warning. So I’m starting to think about closing down parts of the balcony garden – especially the ponds.
One gardener in the ‘hood did a serious clean up of their balcony garden on Saturday morning – plants, pots and planters et al. But not to worry, I look out onto a pretty active back alley. In the time it took to snap the first view from above and then go down to the parkade to shoot the close up – about 5 minutes – an intrepid gardener had snapped up the pots and the purple flowers. And by noon today, the rest of the materials were gone.
This garden, or at least all of the fixings, will live on.
