Thank you for the honorable mention !

I <3 Flatbush Gardener! I've been reading Xris's posts for years and enjoy his blog, so I was glad to see him included on your list. (I was going to post a link to him if you hadn't already found him!)

Thanks for the round-up! This is a great set of blogs. My personal favorite is 66 Square Feet; glad to see her on the list. Been really enjoying Brooklyn Roof Garden lately too. And Flatbush Gardener -- you hit the nail on the head. What a great resource. Excited to check some of the new-to-me sites out!

These are great picks! I'm a fan of Flatbush and A Way To Garden, myself.

That terrace in Photo #1 is simply to die for.

Beautiful photo's and great new blogs to hit! If you're interested, here's mine:

Thanks for the new blogs :)

'A way to garden' is great...and 'life on the balcony' is also good for city dwellers...and 'you grow girl' is also wonderful.

I can't believe someone has wild lupine growing on their NYC terrace!:) Our Lupine Festival on Deer Isle, ME is always 3rd weekend in June so come on up. :)

oh excellent! I'm starting my terrace garden this weekend. These will be wildly helpful.

What is on the floor of the lower patio in picture 1. It looks like terracotta. I need a fix for my patio which is currently black. Looking for an alternative to Vifah tiles.

What is on the floor of the bottom patio in that picture? Looks like terracotta! Is that tiled or is it a temporary solution like Vifah tiles?

Knick - mortared terra cotta tiles, yes. Stone is hardier, though.

How does that affect drainage? My patio is on top of the 1 story extension in the back of my building. So I'm on a roof. I suppose I'd also need permission from my landlord.

Knick - you'd probably need to take some professional advice. You need a roof drain if you do not have one already. Also check weight limits - tile or stone is heavy.

The roof drains very well and quickly too. I was going to go with Vifah tiles but am worried the connectors will break or they will warp with temp changes. Also since it is not a perfectly even surface, tho for most part it is flat, but I'm worried they would not fit together well.

Any experience with those?

Knick, I have never used Vifah.

I don't want to take up AT's comment space with our back and forth so email me if you like :-)

The Patios in Cordoba, Spain are without a doubt the best patios in the world. Some of them have hundreds of years of history, dating all the way back to Roman times. If you can, go....the Cordoba Patios have to be seen. We just got back and the results are nothing short of spectacular.
