You don&rsquo;t have to give up on your dream just because you currently live in an apartment. In fact, you can grow a successful garden right on your balcony. However, because balconies create a different micro-climate than the conditions on the ground, you&rsquo;ll have to give a bit of extra care to your plants. Get started with these simple steps:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Take measurements of the areas you wish to plant so you can buy the right gardening containers. You can also hang a trellis on the wall and\/or hang planters over the windowsill or balcony railing. (Hint: Vines and herbs are great for balconies, so these vertical spaces are extremely important.)\n<\/li>\n<li>Study the conditions on your balcony so you know which types of plants have the best chances for survival. If your balcony sees a lot of sun each day, you can buy a variety of sun-loving plants; but if your balcony is cast in shade for most the day, you&rsquo;d be better off buying woodland plants. Also consider temperature and wind patterns so you can buy plants that are known to thrive under those conditions. (Hint: Reevaluate each season because conditions change from spring\/summer to fall\/winter.\n<\/li>\n<li>Once you know what you&rsquo;re working with, it&rsquo;s time to buy some plants and\/or seeds. Do some research and talk to the employees at your local gardening store to learn more about which plants you should start with. (Hint: Start small with a few plants to get a feel for the hobby. If you truly enjoy gardening, you can always buy more plants as you go.)\n<\/li>\n<li>Buy a quality organic potting soil and any necessary fertilizers. You may even wish to start your own compost pile to enrich your plants&rsquo; soil.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Have you seen success with your balcony garden?
