Great tips as always. I loved the birds 🐦🥰 I would like to share one thing I experienced this year on my balcony garden around zone 8b. When I went out to clean up some ivy pelargonium leaves, I discovered some fat and fluffy looking caterpillars, light green with light red stripes on both sides. I took pictures and searched online and discovered that they were a butterfly larva. I had seen butterflies being very interested in the pelargoniums during the fall, so it seems they decided to set roots in there. I was sad that I removed some of the leaves which provided them additional shelter, but they seem to be doing okay. I check on them weekly and we will see what happens in spring. 🦋
Oh, how wonderful that they found shelter in your balcony garden and decided to stay for a while longer! That has never happened to me yet! And so nice that you checked what they were and didn't assume it was a pest 🙌!
Thanks, if I have a heavy pot and I can’t pour out the water I just put a cotton cloth like from the kitchen hanging down and it will empty itself…if it make sense 👩🌾

Oh I'm glad your garden is a haven for this little bluetit 😍
I love that they come to snack on those pinecones! There's 3 of them and a bullfinch but it's not easy to capture them on camera haha
Aww cute little bird. I absolutely love watching birds in my garden!!
It's one of the best parts of this season isn't it 😍 🐦
Great reminders!
Thank you! Glad you liked it ☺️!

you had minus 10 wow, we didn-t had lower than minus 7 until now , and we are zone 6b
Winters are getting colder and colder here with each year 🥶
@@17m2garden In my childhood we had minus 20 every winter . Balcony was just for storage.
@goctalis3064 Haha same here 😅 🙌 I would never have thought of growing plants in pots in winter in zone 6...
I moved from zone 5 to zone 7 and I'm currently observing the plants. It is very unusual for me to not have the soil completely frozen in the winter.
Haha but it must be a nice change though 😃🪴!

Ohh that's such a great tip!!! Thanks so much for sharing it 💚🙌
Hi, Dominika! 🌿 When do you start to fertilize your plants on the balcony?
Hi 😊 I start to fertilize my perennial plants when they wake up from dormancy and start actively growing again, that's around mid-march here.
@17m2garden Thank you!

Aren't you afraid your terra cotta pots will crack?
I have never had a single pot crack due to frost. Here it is always the wind that knocks them over and destroys them.
