Apartment Gardening Who said,that nothing can be grown in an apartment? Most apartments have extensive extensive balconies, which can be transformed into a lovely garden. To start with you will need some containers to hold the planting media. There is an abundance of different ways to make them or buy them. A few examples are "half rain barrels or whiskey kegs, fiberglass and plastic planters, and, of course, you make any wooden planter yourself, rectangular, long or square. Most libraries have all types of plans for making them. You must make sure that there is drainage holes so that the excessive moisture can drain out, and also when it rains it must be able to drain. To be successful check out how many hours of sun you receive each and where the sun hits and at what time,, since certain plants require more sun than others. A new product that came on the market this year is called the "CROW-BAG". It is a scientifically designed, easy to use miniature garden It is a plastic bag with a sterile planting planting mix which has four large openings at the top so that you can seed or plant right into into the soil mix. You can plant tomatoes, peppers, beans and almost all different types of vegetables and, of course; ■ you can plant any flower in them. This will make an ideal setup for any balcony. In- cidently it is produced and manufactured right here in Ajax by the W.R. Grace Company of Canada. Any planter on the balcony should have the best soil available since it will have to sustain the plants throughout the summer months. Get a soil that is sterilized and is loose .such as a potting and planting mix for foliage plants. Then you are ready to plant your balcony garden. As I stated earlier it is very important to see how much sunlight you have so that you can select the proper plants. For full sun, gernaiums and petunias and other annuals will give you an excellent showing. For a shady balcony, try the Impatiens and Begonias, both the tuberous and the fibrous, and for an extra splash of colour, mix in the different coloured Coleus. Watering is very important. important. This should be done on a regular basis and a good plant food should be added every time you water. This will keep them healthy and strong. The plant food can be a general water soluble 20-20-20, which is also used in the greenhouse and is easy to mix and disolves readily. If the plants get too leggy or long, just pinch them back so that they bush, out and reproduce. Old' flowers and seed heads should be removed so that all ' the strength will stay in thé plants and will give you better showings. showings.
