I have what passes for a balcony in my apartment. However, it is accessible only through a single window from which sunlight seeps through every morning. For the curious, no, I am not in jail. Really.
As my contribution to the prevention of global warming, I don't drive my car to the office every Tuesday. I also keep a bunch of plants on my balcony. A friend of mine got me started on this a few years back, theorizing that my lungs need all the help it can get with the metro's polluted air, especially as I live fairly close to EDSA.
I try to water the plants every day. My efforts, however, are sporadic at best. My plants have now gotten used to being watered at the oddest hours. In fairness (to me, I think), I have managed to kill only one plant in the 3 years I've lived in this house. My secret? I get only the self-sufficient kind, those which are pleasantly surprised when I remember to water them, but manage to plod through and survive on the days when I completely forget their existence.
