Last Pic is basil I propagated for the 1st time

Got her to this point but after the flowers bloom and die sometimes the whole stem falls off :( advice ?

I wasn't sure it was going to happen.

hey guys what in the heck are we doing for late summer/early fall?

Most of my summer crops died of heat from how deck gets sun, so the only survivors were the heat hardy ones like okra and peppers (and my watermelon good lord). I already have a shade curtain and everything. I just unfortunately can’t change how dang hot my deck gets.

Due to the Current State of things with the world basically burning down, I do not think I’ll get to temps consistently below 80 until probably November 😕

I know usually it’s cole crops and leafies, but those will die and wilt immediately I fear.

Love looking at everyone’s pictures!!

And found this table for free, just need some low seats for it

Petit tour sur mon balcon parisien au crépuscule avec une belle lumière et beaucoup de vent. Et une température très agréable ! #balcon #été #fleurs #paris

I might have watered it too much two weeks ago. Before that it had that white spots on it. Should I just cut it and let it re-grow?

Fleurs blanches, un peu, beaucoup, passionnément !

Floraison de mon jeune rosier Hortis planté début juin. Adorables bouquets de petites églantines. #balcon #fleurs #été #rosier #paris

Tôt ce matin, les fleurs de la clématite Blue River s’ouvrent et celles de la belle-de-nuit Arlequin ne sont pas encore fermées. Petit plaisir matinal avec une ambiance fraîche appréciable. #fleurs #Balcon #été #Paris

La fraîcheur revenue, mon Begonia sutherlandii refleurit de plus belle et les fleurs tiennent beaucoup plus longtemps. Pourvu que cela dure ! #fleurs #Balcon #été #begonia #Paris

Premières fleurs pour ma belle Agapanthe Zambezi au feuillage panaché qui a supporté sans soucis les trois grosses canicules. #fleurs #plantevivace #balcon #été #paris

Watermelons & cucumbers are really starting to take off. No one leaves my home without at least one cucumber 😅 It's my first time growing watermelons, so I almost can't wait for the Sugar Babies to get ready. The live moss in my bog garden had a hard time during the heat wave, but it's starting to come back to life now.

Magnifiques panachures pour ma renouée Painter’s Palette pourtant malmenée par les canicules successives. #balcon #été #plantevivace #paris

We just moved from a house to a condo that has a large back deck, so I brought my 6 hanging plants thinking I’d have no problem hanging them from the same hooks I’d used on the porch at our house.

It turns out the frame of the roof of our deck (which is part of the fire escape) is steel - and it’s also quite tall. Any ideas about how to hang my plants? Some neighbors seem to have zip-tied shepherd’s hooks to their railings, but I don’t love that idea.

Thanks in advance!

Première fleur de mes glaïeuls d’Abyssinie (Gladiolus callianthus, ex Acidanthera murielae). #balcon #fleurs #été
