It’s been ages since I’ve shared a balcony garden update here on the blog (there’s plenty of pictures on my instagram and snapchat though!) but here I am! Summer is by far the most productive time on my little balcony so I thought I’d share some of the highlights with you all today! I’d love a sneak peak at what you’re growing as well!
I thought it was about time I did a little Autumn balcony garden update, now that I have dug up the end of my summer produce (bye bye tomatoes!) and added some more cold-weather appropriate plants!
Another month has gone by so I thought it was time to share the successes and failures of my urban gardening adventures, so here we go, my January balcony gardening update! This month I thought I’d also share with you all a few of the books I have been consulting regularly to help me cultivate even the slightest of green thumbs!
In my first Balcony Gardening post I mentioned that one of things I liked most when buying my apartment was the balcony, and its potential for growing herbs and vegetables. Not only is it north facing, but one side is a solid brick wall, and I envisioned it as the perfect spot to install a hanging structure to make the most of the space I had available to me.
One of the things that attracted me to my little apartment when I was house hunting was the balcony. It’s a pretty decent size, north facing and covered so it is protected from the elements. It’s a lovely place to sit and read the paper on the weekend, or have a glass of wine after work, but I also hoped it would have great potential for growing some herbs and vegetables.
