Almost three months later now and only in the past 2-3 weeks have we witnessed big changes to the plants. A very cold and wet May and June did nothing for our friends; the lettuce had an especially hard time of things and leaves a bit to be desired taste wise. One recently planted nasturtium is showing good signs of life although its friend is really struggling. Our basil plants suffered a severe aphid infestation and were thrown to the wind. Although we have good southern exposure from the rear balcony we receive little direct sun in the middle of the day because of the coverage from the balcony above.

The tomatoes are finally coming along now but with many nights below 10 degrees earlier on our crop my be greatly diminished.

Recently planted are a couple of pole bean plants. They are looking great and in a few days have soared toward the balcony ceiling.
