New layout - Making space for new pots

Two new tomatoes plants & two new cucumbers plants are ready to be go into their final pot. And that's a lot of space to ask from a HDB-flat's balcony and small stretch of corridor.

This calls for ruthless spring-cleaning!! All the bean plants in the corridor trough are taken down. Their ill-health is apparent.

With the corridor rack freed up now, the Basil-Trios moved out...

...here's an 'After'-foto showing the balcony looking naked without the lush-&-green basils...

... and here's the 'Before'-foto for comparison.

hi hi, me again...

may i ask... where did you get those white color shelf for your pots at your balcony?

and if possible, how tall is the highest shelf?

I have a similar 3 layered one, but, I find that even the highest level is very short.

plus, after putting the pots on the highest level, the subsequent levels can't really get the sun! :(

do you have the same problem?

hi ezmum, good to hear fr u again:)
the higher rack is about 75cm high.
i got tis rack from one of the kovan nurseries, and painted it white to match our decor.

cos im using mostly 25-30cm high pots, so tis rack seems appropriate cos the height is sufficient to bring the rim of the pot level to the balcony wall.
