I do love Nigella but it is a bit of a hussy – seeding itself all over the place. Not a problem in a balcony garden but it can become like a house guest who refuses to leave in my garden…

That nigella is really nice – i may try that. Your balcony flower boxes were gorgeous – what a beautiful combination! We got – maybe…20 inches of snow today – everything is completely covered! I’ve just been inside and finally cracked the spine of a couple of seed catalogs. I’m enjoying the break, but looking forward to the next gardening season!

After having a bit of a drab garden this autumn I’m already planning on having more autumn flowering plants next year. I’m also busy looking for new things to grow on the allotment. Next year will be my first full year so I want to make the most of it. Your balcony has served you well this year. You’ve managed to pack so much into a small space. I love how you manage to grow edibles as well as ornamentals. All the best for 2010.

Pam,
Great idea about using the pods for arrangements! And yes, I did start the Nigella inside using the peat pellets. Cheers!
