I believe these are 28x25cm (10L or around 3gal). I used them for cherry tomatoes and peppers in the summer.

My plan is to have something growing in each season, and this winter I have a lot of evergreen perennials. I find lettuce really easy to grow in autumn and winter. My balcony gets too hot for it in spring.

That last line is basically my gardening motto: if something dies, I have room to try a new plant 😆 I've been a bit worried about the clematis because this is a Mediterranean type and I read on a lot of websites that it should be kept in a greenhouse in winter. It's still looking good though.

@@4m2balconygarden I didn't realize all clematis don't have the same hardiness. I hope yours survives.

Most of them are frost hardy, but I had to get the special kind 😂

Yes, I had such a great time, would love to go back. Thank you for the support!

This is called a bulb lasagna and works really well for spring bulbs. I will be posting more about this once the flowers start growing in the next months.

Aw, thank you so much! I'm actually working on a new video. I took a break and I realized that I missed it, so I decided to continue. Good luck with your balcony garden vlog. Would love to watch it 😊

​@@4m2balconygardenI'm really glad to here that you decided to continue! 🎉Can't wait to see all that bulb flowers blooming in spring! This is my garden channel (I'm completely newbie in making videos🙈)

Oh, I've been following you! I saw that you are in Serbia. You're very close and it's nice to find someone that's in the same growing zone. I really like your vlogs and hope you will post more too!

​@@4m2balconygarden wow! great, thank you for following! I'm working on my new video now

@@IrinasGreenLifeStories can't wait to see it 😄

Thank you ☺️

Thank you so much, all the best to you too!

Glad you like them!

Thank you so much for your support! I live in Timisoara, Romania.

Oh, that's so cold. We had a pretty mild winter so far, but it usually gets colder in January. Glad you enjoyed my videos 😊

Thank you so much 😊 I do hope more birds will come here.

Thanks

I understand. It's not always easy to find time for it.

Thank you! Wishing you the same!

Yes, they look like huge flower bouquets. I do this every year.

Me too 😊 Thank you. I'm also surprised by how many plants can grow in this little space.

They take about two to three weeks to start growing.

You should water thoroughly now, and then leave them until the first leaves start to emerge in spring. Next month's journal will be all about bulbs.

@@4m2balconygarden thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you so much 😊 Glad you liked it!

Thank you 😊

Thank you so much! My disappointment mostly comes from the fact that last year I was drowning in tomatoes, and this year I had maybe ten. There's always a lot to learn from this, and I'm looking forward for upcoming months. I also would like to try kale, if I can find a small variety. Such a good idea to grow calendulas and nasturtiums in autumn.

Thank you 😊 Sorry that your balcony garden failed, but I'm glad to hear that you still have a space to garden. I also find balcony gardening tricky because of the very hot summers and cold winters. It's still a lot of trial and error, even though I have a better idea of what works now.

Thank you 😊 I do hope you will try again. It's not always easy, but I find it very rewarding. It's very important to find exactly what plants do well in your space, which means a lot of trial and error. It took me almost three years to have a good idea about what I can plant in my balcony.

Ciao, come tutte le cose si impara un po' alla volta. Devi imparare a confrontarti con la natura e questo è uno degli aspetti positivi del coltivare. Siamo abituati ad avere il controllo su tutto ma la natura sfugge alle regole che noi vorremmo imporle. E ora, in autunno, mentre pensi a cosa farai a primavera, inizia a coltivare qualche verdura invernale. Io ad esempio ho piantato cavolo nero, kale, pack choi e diverse insalate e probabilmente aggiungerò anche cavoletti di brussels e broccoletti. Magari inizia con poco e verifica sempre che i vasi abbiano le giuste dimensioni. Poi a febbraio potrai iniziare a seminare in casa per poi trapiantare a primavera. Buona fortuna!

Thank you so much for your kind words. Means a lot! You are right, I did learn a lot this summer, and I'm happy with how everything turned out this year.

I'm glad your garden did so well this year. Cucumbers seem to really enjoy my balcony. I think it's because they get a lot of sun. Thank you for watching 😊

Working on it 😊 It will be out next Sunday.

Thank you! 😊

Thanks for the tip! I should try that next year. I'm not sure what changed this year because I didn't have so many issues with them before.

Thank you so much! Yes, I'm starting to learn not to plant so many things together. It worked very well for me in the past, but not this year and I will have to be a bit more careful about what I plant together.

Thank you so much 😊 We get pretty bad storms every year, but my balcony is usually protected so it was a bit of a shock.

Basil loves full sun, but I keep them in my east facing window until they get bigger and then move them outside. Too much sun can be bad for them when they are small.

Thank you! Some of them were definitely affected by the heat, but others wilted before they opened and I think that might have something to do with the spider mites.

Shall I plant cherry tomatoes in winter or wait for summer?

@@100ftsq They are usually started in spring (mid March over here) and moved outside after the last frost date (May in zone 7b). If you have micro tomatoes, you can grow them indoors at any time in the year, but you will need grow light in winter.

@@100ftsqSpring into summer. Larger tomatoes are better attempted in the autumn. But start them early if you can.

Thank you so much 😊

Thank you so much!!

Hi, nice to see you here 😊 I've been looking into drip irrigation, but I don't have a power or water source on my balcony. I use ollas and ask my friends to help when I'm away.

@@4m2balconygarden I understand the challenge! I had a similar issue on my other balcony with my flowers and blueberry plant. Without water and electricity, it can be tricky. Maybe try some DIY solutions using a water tank and solar panels for power. Good luck, and let me know how it goes!

​@@fifthfloorgarden Thank you! I do have a solution for electricity. Finding room for a water tank is the trickier part so I decided to leave this for next year. Ollas are actually great for 1-2 days in normal weather, but they are not enough during these hot summer days.

Thank you so much 🫶
