Another Plant Idea for Me
I've written before here and here about possible options for my black thumb! This one caught my attention also. Maybe I could maintain and not kill plants in a Terrarium. This is a good how-to article by Real Simple. Maybe I'll try sometime.
It also includes a few websites where you can buy terrarium plants.

My Kind of Gardening
This caught my eye: "Some plants thrive on neglect." Bingo! Maybe I can have flowers on my balcony after all.
Succolents. Never heard of them. "They love to bask in the sun, and they won't dry out, because their fleshy leaves have a built-in water supply."
Aeonium
Echeveria
Black Rose Aeonium
Blue chalksticks
Rattail
*Make sure to use a fast-draining, soilless potting mix designed for succulents and cacti.

Garden in a Pail
Everyone knows I don't have any shade of green thumb, but I might be willing to give this a try. Garden in a Pail is a galvanized pail filled with everything you need...gloves, soil, and seeds for your own mini herb garden or flower bed. This might look nice on my balcony, but I wonder how long it would take for me to kill it!
They have other items that would be fun to try or great for a gift:
Gardens in a Bag
Blooms in a Bag
Pocket Gardens
Mini-Bouquet Favors (I'm always a sucker for a party favor!)
