Even such a small place in the area, like a balcony, you can turn into a very cozy place for tea drinking or just to relax in a comfortable chair, especially if it is in a private house. To do the arrangement of the balcony in the country You can do today.
Considering that our not very favorable climate does not always allow us to relax in the fresh air in the garden near your country house, even if you have arranged with all amenities, you have to find a way out of the situation, and the only possible one is to use the "incoming" patio territory, Terraces and balconies.
The main thing in the lighting of the balcony - Think over the entourage and make a decent floral composition according to its taste. This applies primarily for preferences in the color scheme. Basically, small territories are decorated with annuals, due to the fact that perennial plants rarely survive in the conditions of our harsh winter in a limited amount of land, even if the kashpo or pot will be "gigantic". As a rule, compends, and the root plant of the plant does not cope with such circumstances. But if the conditions allow (for example, a balcony is closed or insulated), in the large-size tank, you can land for vertical landscaping grapes girls, 
Clematis, better species, such as Tangutsky, or even plenty rose. But after all, annuals in this case are preferable.
With one-year blooming plants, it is easy to experiment, picking them up in color and form. In addition, these mobile flower beds can be rearranged from place to place, replace one flowers by others, buying different seedlings even for one season.

planting quite large flower beds with them. The only thing in this case should be taken into account - any plant planted in a limited amount of soil requires more intense watering compared to the one that would be required to be in the open soil.
Depending on weather conditions, even ordinary Pelargonium may need watering up to two times a day. And in order to bloom in full swing, it will be needed in addition to weekly feeding with special fertilizers. But another advantage over long-term flowers is that annuals bloom almost the whole season - from early spring and until late autumn - everything will depend on when you buy seedlings.

But keep in mind that something magnificent is unlikely to grow under them.
One of the important factors for a full and pleasant stay is 
beautiful view from the place where you are settled. Therefore, it is very important, planning the house, to calculate correctly, what side will the balcony or terracesa. First, focus it on the west side so that it will be lit by the rays of sunset sun in the evenings. Secondly, if there is no finished look, try to do it. This can be achieved or not overlapping a brick-three-meter fence view of the nearest surroundings - the field, river, forest, or, on the contrary, extinguished from the neighbors and creating a beautiful composition, visually expanding space, for example, landing trees or shrubs with blue foliage, as if imagining in haze
Paul on the balcony, On which you are going to spend a lot of time, it is best to do from a tree, leaving a small space between the boards and making the water flow into the drainage well.

Furniture for balcony You have the right to choose to your liking or the capabilities of your wallet.
