I know, it sounds weird. But thats perfect for the townhouse/condo/apartment dwellers like us. Yeah, every apartment has a patio or balcony, why can't we create a voluminous garden just for us? You can buy containers depending on the size of the plant, good potting soil and what else you are looking for? Thats it. Start a Garden. Its not that difficult, start with vegetables like tomato, green chili, cucumber or spinach etc., herbs like basil, parsley etc. When buying containers, make sure it has holes at the bottom and keep small rocks to prevent soil being washed away.
Once you start gardening, you will be busy watering them, seeing them grow and waiting to pluck them. Oooooh! plucking veggies is my favorite part. You gotta feel the happiness of cooking the home-grown vegetables. Am sure it tastes the best. No kidding, you will believe me.
You can also grow flowers, since spring is at its end, try some indoor plants. Money plant is a perfect indoor plant, which you can prefer year round. If you have big sliding windows, thats the perfect place for'em. Less care is required. It purifies air and you can place them anywhere(mostly placed in kitchen and restrooms). It will be winter in another two months, nobody will open their balcony door or windows. So, start with indoor plants and plan for container garden, the next summer.
GO GREEN!!
