SMALL SPACES: Balcony Garden

Although we still have deep winter and the temperatures have gone down below zero again there already was a hint of spring the last week and I even put some of my very large plant pots outside. Would have been too nice if I could have left them there but...today we had some snow showers again and I hate it.

And on top of it - as if this wasn't enough I found these pics which make my heart hurt even more in  expectance - having my own little balcony garden again. And this year I want to make it a bit nicer, without all the chaos of empty pots and other stuff. I want it to look more like this:

Last summer my balcony looked like this and I want to do something about it:
