Can I Grow a Balcony Garden?

The most difficult thing about moving has been losing my garden.  I fell in love with gardening a few years ago.  Moving to an apartment has made many things challenging, but having a garden without a yard means being creative.

I am determined to try.

So... I purchased a couple cheap window boxes and filled them with potting soil.  I planted a couple bean plants in one, hoping to get them to vine up the rails.  

I might try a Topsy-Turvey or two for tomatoes.  I really want to try cucumbers, but that might take some deep pots or buckets to have a little depth for the roots. 

I received the pretty marigold flowers for Mother's Day.  I thought they would look bright and cheerful in the cute wagon planter I picked up last summer at Hobby Lobby. 

I'm far from an expert on container gardening.  I've been reading and researching online to hope that I may be able to still enjoy something I love do much.
