Lovely photo, Balconey.

Thank you all for liking my Petunias! I was VERY pleased with them last year & the year before.

On the balcony alongside our entrance doorway there is a guy with a Petunia that is STILL alive from last year!! No mistake I pass it almost daily. He does nothing at all to protect it or the other plants on his balcony. He has more in the pots on the balcony but all the others are dead. This one I'm sure is white. It's not even a couple of metres inside the balcony. Anything that is slightly tender & I want to keep on my balcony goes into the most sheltered corner inside a big plastic bag that I open on frost free days. All my Petunias died of mildew so I have none saved.

Fantastic! :)

I'd hoped to see them grow again later but this morning the guy cleared everything off his balcony & it's now completely deserted. I'll never know now if they might flower for a 2nd season. :-(( But they were still alive yesterday when I saw them for the last time after several nights of frost in a row.

Very Pretty.

The three years I've grown Petunias on the balcony have all been fantastic years! I'd wanted to grow something else this year but in the end I'm glad I didn't! I've had another fantastic year of Petunias!

Nevertheless, 3 years in a row is more than enough & I want to grow something different next year. What I don't know yet!
