How is your garden doing? The parkway plantings at our condo are looking pretty good this year. Our perennials came back and are blooming and even the nasturtiums we started from seeds (that we threw in our cart at Whole Foods - a gardening impulse buy) are coming along.
June: Gardening Month
There is one week left to enter our "Greenest Thumb" contest (and we've only seen one entry so far), so if you are considering sharing your green space with the AT Chicago community it's time to pick a sunny morning, take some pictures and send them on in.
We appreciate the reader tips we've been getting, so if you've seen something cool out there in Chicago (or on the web) let us know. Email the editors at chicago(at)apartmenttherapy(dot)com. Have a good week and enjoy your garden!

kind of in the middle there you should've had "would have plants on a porch/deck if i had one, ditto if i had roof access (sorry i can't afford a place with all of those amenities!)"
No kidding- you're lucky if you can even do a decent windowbox. I gave up a lot of square feet just to be on the fourth floor of a block with mostly 3-story buildings. I starved a lot of house-plants of sun before now with windows facing brick walls.
