We do have a "what's that plant called" counter at our botanical garden, where they also give gardening advice. Either way, let us know if you find out!
(maybe you could have the pictures posted on milk cartons and offer a reward for the firt person who can identify the plant?

I wouldn't want to give them away I've been eyeing this five-litre tank at the local "fish pusher" lately - a good size for shrimp. I wish I had the patience for something like this - it's essentially aqua bonsai.

Those aquariums are beautiful! And I love how they are entirely self sufficient (but maybe the fishes need to be fed?) without filters or heating systems. Very inspiring.
I wanted to get myself a beta and plant the aquarium with real plants, but at the store I went to they refused to let me buy plants if I didn't have the complete filter-heating system (I could've lied, but didn't) so I got a small Russian moss ball instead, to serve as a filter and a renewable food source. Better than nothing, but you are giving me ideas...

Very nice! The zucchini looks small - is it young? I would have thought it'd taken over the whole end of your balcony. Nice Schefflera, looks like it's thriving.

I think that the cucumber and zucchinis don't have enough place to grow - they must be about 8 weeks old by now, and they don't grow up really fast. I won't reiterate the experience with those plants next year, I have the odd feeling that I'm slowly torturing them.
The Schefflera is thriving a little too much, that's why it outside - I always bump into it!
