Organic food is usually more expensive as well.

Attracting Wildlife

Of course, having some food in your window or even a bird box with some nuts in it means that you will have some animals visiting your balcony on a regular basis. This means that you can take pictures of these animals with your camera or just watch them close up without having to go to the zoo or even leave the comfort of your own home at all.

A Chance to Garden

For many people gardening isn't just about growing things but is also about clearing an outdoor space and making it tidier. You get to brush leaves away from your balcony and remove branches that have strayed across windows and block out your light. Of course, for bigger jobs you may need to hire a professional - such as a tree surgeon - who will know the rules about which trees you can remove and which you can prune as well as those that unfortunately you won't be able to touch at all.
