Let's use those few square meters we have on our balcony, leaving some space for relaxation as well. Following this advice, we will be able to enjoy the richness of nature even in the heart of the city. This small island with its fragrant flowers and aromatic herbs will act as a true aromatherapy for both us and our guests.
Open GaleriaLegume for beginners Red, shiny tomatoes, which we can even procure from our own balcony, delight not only the eyes but also the taste buds. Among the easy-to-grow vegetables are crunchy radishes and peppers.
Sowing them is simple, but those who want to avoid this work can buy seedlings in spring from specialty stores or at the market. Properly cared for, these three types of vegetables will bring a rich and continuous harvest throughout the summer.
Radishes (Raphanus sativus) grow well in balcony boxes located in sun or partial shade. In mid-March, in a soil mixture consisting of sand and humus, two seeds are placed in a hole at a distance of five centimeters from each other. If we want radishes throughout the summer, sowing is repeated every two weeks.
Be careful not to sow the plants too densely. Watered regularly, the plants will develop very quickly, so after four weeks (for moon radishes) they can be harvested and consumed.
Sun-loving tomatoes
To avoid tilting or breaking stems, they should be supported with stakes.
from mid-May, the plants are placed on the balcony in a sunny spot, sheltered from the wind.
when transplanting into pots, leave a fairly large margin where soil can later be placed as an alternative to digging. This will stimulate the plant to develop more roots, which helps with water and nutrient absorption.
