Hey bif! Welcome to Dave's Canadian Gardening Forum! You'll meet people from all over Canada here, and even some 'Murricans drop by now and then.

I live just outside Toronto, but work in downtown TO, likely in your neighbourhood.

If I was you, I'd tie those cucumber vines to some kind of support, to prevent it from being blown around. As you've figured out, the wind is mighty strong at 18 floors up! Heck, in downtown TO, its mighty strong on the ground level with all those office towers to create wind tunnels!

So, you have a good variety of stuff growing on your balcony. Do you also have any house plants?

I live in a townhouse and have a few small garden beds outside. I also have a terrace above my garage that I like to fill with annuals in the summer. But, my first love and most lasting, is tropical house plants - I have more than 100. This is a picture of my favourite corner in my living room.

Do you have a digital camera Bif? We love to share pictures of our growing treasures here ... as you can see ... lol.
