Not bad for a 11x7 sq. ft. space! I must say it is a nice feeling to walk outside and pick out some kale to include with my dinner. The balcony is starting to resemble a small jungle, which is alright by me.

Balcony Gardening
Last spring I embarked on my first official gardening experiment: to grow as many edible plants as possible on my 11x7 square foot balcony! My prior gardening experience was limited to flowers, a few potted tomato plants, and some herbs. However, last year in addition to cherry tomatoes I grew three types of pepper plants, mint, garlic, and beans. Since then I have expanded a bit more among my plant varieties. This year I am very proud to say I grew kale and carrots from seed on my balcony.
