Wire plant stand, $898

If I had all the money and all the skills, I would have the loveliest balcony. I'm fantasizing about having the best, prettiest porch in the whole damn complex. While I'm dreaming, I'm forming a wish list from Terrain.

My gardening experience is pretty limited. I have vague memories of helping a neighbor lady weed her garden and mixing up the delightfully scary blue Miracle Gro. I remember trying valiantly to grow sunflowers in a spot where they would never grow. Otherwise, I haven't tried much beyond that.

I'm determined to learn this summer how to tend a container garden. I have no clue what I'm doing and I have a sense this will be an adventure in trial-and-error. I hastily planted some herbs (not from seed...I'm not that ambitious since my Chia failure) on Sunday afternoon, only to realize after reading a few articles that I probably need to pull them back out and mess with the rootball.

Gardening is a foreign language and just in the past two days, I've read a bajillion articles about bat guano and deadheading and fish emulsion and controlled release fertilizer. I have no idea what I'm doing, but it should be an adventure. I promise to try to document the adventure all summer.

How are your gardening projects coming? Do you have a better clue of what you're doing?
