Gardener Chronicles Advice for Balconcy Plants

I just moved into a new condo in New York City.  I knew with the real estate market at an all time low it was a good time to take advantage.  I had been searching for months before I found just the right place.  I moved in last month and I just love it.  My new place has two bedroom and two baths and a cute little balcony patio area.  I want to grow a few plants and herbs on my balcony.  I turned to the gardener chronicles to see what would be best for my area.  I can’t wait to get to the store and get started this weekend.
