I just searched balcony garden for some inspiration and watched this video twice while I cleaned mine to start my first urban garden. You have plant magic in you. Thanks for the tour.
Thank you so much! ❤ I am soo glad that the video gave you some inspiration! 🥰❤ I wish you all the best with your iwn little sanctuary. If you need any help, please let me know & feel free to join my FB group & share pics of your garden with the gang ❤
I woke up grabbed my cuppa' and enjoyed your Brilliant Garden tour this morning I love the way you uses such SMALL-ISH space to grow all sorts of Beauty i also love your Let Go and Let God Approach I love that you relocate the snails & slugs-they are God's creatures as well. Love from across the pond!-Chicago, zone5b. "Blessings of Bounty and May Your Gardens and your Life always Bring You Joy, INSPIRATION and Abundance!" - Hope( & Mark)!💖👍
Hey just found your channel and although we don’t have a balcony we have a very small courtyard and all your tips are brilliant !! Keep up the great work 👍
@@CloudGardenerUK oh no.. we have alot of sun too over here. Rain is Coming but hopefully no snow.. Never then less. Spring is almost here. Happy Gardening !!
The worms are also making more compost for you do not throw away old plants leave in a separate container add a couple of worm’s cardboard scrap veg from kitchen your have your own worm farm best natural compost 👍🏻
What's your fav part of the garden & what surprised you the most? Let me know 🥰 I've left some useful links in my description box for my Facebook Group & some other bits & bobs ❤ Jason x
I was surprised how early in the year you've been able to sow and bring on some plants, and others that have grown through winter. Makes me inclined to try sowing some things a bit earlier in the year, too. Great to see what you've achieved so high up!
Hi Jason! Hope your doing well mate. 🤎🌻 Thank you for the tour of your amazing balcony garden! How wonderful it is. Nothing like fresh herb and veg in the warm months! 😋 Happy gardening/cooking! Keep us posted on the cool weather crops.
Hi Deborah! Thank you soo much! I'm so glad that you enjoyed the tour! There's soo much going on already and we are only in March 🙈🙈 I'm really looking forward to the cool weather crops and of course the veg! I hope you're well! ❤❤
What a beautiful space you’ve created! I live in Tennessee although originally from London and our gardens are very different but I still found a lot of inspiration from your balcony. I’m more than a little jealous that you can grow tomatoes in the winter!
I was thrilled to see someone else having arches on his balcony. You are on the 18th floor and hence have more wind issues than I do, but having a western balcony just IS a windy headache. I googled plants for seaside gardens to find the ones which should be able to thrive and am tomorrow planting a honeysuckle and a early (group 1) clematis on the most exposed sides and a wisteria plus a climbing rose on the less exposed. That should do the trick but we will see. Good luck with your climbers! 🤞☺️
Awwww thank you soo much! So glad you love the Cloud Garden ❤ it took me a week to get the garden nack together again, so I totally feel you pushing through to fix your garden. Take it 1 step at a time 🤗❤
This was a really nice tour Jason. The cloud garden looks lush & it's surprising to see how you have organised your space & fit so much in there. I love the pond, as for the slugs & worms just shows life grows wherever it can. ❤
Thank you soo much! 🤗 ❤❤ I didn't realize I had so much going on until I started tidying up for this tour. Can't lie.. it was a bit of a squeeze trying to fit everything in but I love how it has turned out. The pond is soo soothing to listen to so it's definitely one of my fav parts too. As for these beasts taking over my garden.. I have got to say I'm super happy that they are thriving & happy ❤ Thank you for watching 🥰
❤i follow your garden expierence and its amazing how much is possibel.All the flowers are so wounderful. Its si wounderful with your fish point...thats greate.Wish that all your dream grows in you garden.Thanks for all the Details.
I just found your channel and I am supper excited to see you progress. I have a backyard garden here in Buffalo NY but I want to start growing on my balcony . It's shaded so I'm lookig forward to growing salad greens and other shade tolerant food and flowers. Blessings as you continue to grow.
Hi. Amazing garden! My balcony is on the 7th floor and I thought that there was no chance to grow anything because of the wind but now you make me re-think. Really inspiring! Thanks.
Oh wow!! Congrats! Isn't it funny how they move around. You think they'd just stay in one place. You must have created a good home for them! 🥰 Thank you for watching ❤❤
When I'm talking on camera, I try to pretend I'm just talking to friends. So I'm so glad that you enjoy the videos and find them chilled 🤗❤ Yes I'm keeping an eye out for the return of frosts but the glass does help protect my garden 🥰
Interesting what you say about the arches and the wind. We are going to move soon to a 5th floor flat and I was thinking about climbers and grapes. Great vid and keep them coming. X
Thank you for watching Sophinda! 🤗❤❤ It's all you can do at this point, try to find a positive from something that's beyond your control. Are you doing herbs for your patio this year?
Thanks for watching! The worms really took me by suprise! Who would have thought they'd be living their best lives up here 😳🤣 Your caterpillar outbreak took me out 💀🤣🤣 how's it going managing them?
Thank you Michelle! A little bit of sunlight and my garden goes crazy as the temperatures automatically rise. So I've been quite lucky. Typical UK weather now & it's gotten cold again but I am sure the garden will be fine ❤ As always thank you soo much for watching & commenting! ❤🤗
Hi Jason waited so long for this video (yes it's 5 days old), hoping you will be putting out more contents now it's spring. I would love to grow and eat veg, but living in the centre of London I'd be eating dirt, dust, grime. Sticking to flowery things, and shrubs to bring butterflies, bees etc to my little balcony space. I'm even thinking about getting and releasing ladybirds. Let me know what you think. Pond is looking good. Happy gardening 😊 ❤️
Hello Jason from across the pond. Your garden looks beautiful and such a relaxing space full of life. What surprised me most was the aphids. For some reason I didn't think they would fly that high. You're so talented and blessed with a green thumb. Thanks for sharing, I enjoyed the tour. : )
Hii, I love your personality and videos. I tried to become a plant mom but so far no luck. Since my move (which is a few months ago), all of my plants started dying. I don’t know what I am doing wrong, could you help me out and give basic tips for people who can't keep their plants alive? I have no direct sunlight, only reflected sunlight, is that bad for plants?
Hi Angela, Thank you soo much! I'm so glad you love how the garden is looking! I think we have to get inventive with our small spaces! ❤ I hope you are doing well 🥰❤
Love your garden. I’ve just moved from Manchester an hour up the coast, and your plants are way ahead of mine. The city is always a bit warmer, and maybe you miss the frost so high up?
Hello. I recently subscribed to your channel and I enjoy what I have watched so far. Love this garden tour. It was so soothing and relaxing and yes, it has inspired me. Love seeing the whole eco system it has produce. Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to what you will show over the summer as all those veggies and flowers soak up the sun.
Wow!! Thank you soo much! I am really grateful for you spending time watching the videos and commenting 🤗❤ It's amazing how it has evolved from me growing a few plants to me housing, maintaining and caring for my own unique ecosystem. I am so grateful to be able to share my findings with you and others 🥰 I can only hope that the garden will be flourishing over Summer ❤ i hope you are able to use your own space to grow too ❤❤
Great video mate, enjoyed having the tour...Just getting into doing my 12th floor balcony and wanted recommendations for 2 outside window boxes, preferably hardy flowers that last most of the year or something that looks reasonably pretty all year?
Awesome - I have a similar size balcony that I'd like to start using to grow but I have ZERO idea where to start. Any book recommendations or other youtube channels for this gardening niche?
I am in the process of writing my own book for this exact reason.. there's not much out there for us. I'll be doing a how to start your own balcony video within the next week or so. But first things first.. double check the weight allowance with your building manager. Then work out how much sun you get before deciding what you want to grow :)
I just ordered and received 3 gardening books on Amazon. If you have Google you can ask any question about vegetables and what flowers to plant with vegetable. Information is out there. Beautiful garden, my first belcony garden this year, been studying gardens all winter. Just waiting on the weather.
Thanks for the tour, Jason. I am just starting a balcony garden in Spain. I would love a water feature but I'm a bit worried about mosquitos. Have you had any problems?
Yes, I got them too.. that's why I added the fish. They eat all the mosquito larvae. I have just added a link to the description box for mosquito dunks that you can use in your water feature to fet rid of them ❤❤ Let me know how yours turns out, post some pics in the FB group ❤
Are you in the UK? If so, I would recommend Plant Grow orgainc compost/fertilizer and if you can't get the quantity you need.. B&Q do a good 125l peat free compost. I can do a video on this if it helps?
Here's a link to my newest Balcony Garden Tour After 3 Heatwaves!

Just found your videos. The space looks amazing. Well done.

I guess I'm afraid of heights because the glass balcony railing makes me nervous. I don't think I could get myself to go out on that balcony.
A year late, but your garden is absolutely beautiful. 💖
Well done for your Chelsea Flower Shoe entry. Good luck. You certainly deserve a medal for inspiration 👏👏
…..Show!!
Thank you sooo much! It was a real whirlwind but I loved it! 🥰❤
This is one of the most beautiful and inspirational things I've ever seen

I love it! So high, blue sky, all those plants and a creative layout😊
hi cloud gardener uk 🤗
wow! i am amazed by your balcony garden. ive never seen one like it. so creative and plentiful. tfs
Wow thank you soo much! Thank you for finding me 🥰
Hey just found your channel and although we don’t have a balcony we have a very small courtyard and all your tips are brilliant !! Keep up the great work 👍
Thank you so much! It means so much that you found some of this useful for your own space x
All your greens look absoluty Delish!
Thank you so much. We've had a lot of sun recently altgough it's about to snow 😳 the weather in the UK is a hot mess 🤦🏾♀️🤣
@@CloudGardenerUK oh no.. we have alot of sun too over here. Rain is Coming but hopefully no snow.. Never then less. Spring is almost here. Happy Gardening !!
@@AmasAuthenticJourney exactly!! Spring is pretty much here! 🤗❤ Much love ❤❤

Indeed! I have a couple of compost containers! 🥰
if you introduce centipedes they'll help manage the slugs. I added them to my garden and it's made a world of difference
One for me to try this year I think ❤
What's your fav part of the garden & what surprised you the most? Let me know 🥰 I've left some useful links in my description box for my Facebook Group & some other bits & bobs ❤

I’m not an expert or anything just think what you have done is fabulous and gives others inspiration and great ideas to give it ago too.😎
I was surprised how early in the year you've been able to sow and bring on some plants, and others that have grown through winter. Makes me inclined to try sowing some things a bit earlier in the year, too. Great to see what you've achieved so high up!
Try planting some rosemary, peppermint or some marigolds. That can help with the aphids.

Goodness so glad you were able tp take something from my garden 🥰 Happy New Year ❤ Certainly better weather over there compared to London right?
Incredible you have so much biodiversity 😍
It's a crazy little garden. Who would have thought there'd be so much up here? 🤷🏾♀️🥰
@@CloudGardenerUK I admit I was astonished to see you find slugs and worms. Nature wins always 😍. Love your channel keep it up. Inspiring
Awesome work! Just getting my balcony and living room window started. Lot's of inspiration in your videos. Thank you for sharing.
So glad! How's your garden going?
Love your balcony
So glad!! Thank you ❤
I was thrilled to see someone else having arches on his balcony. You are on the 18th floor and hence have more wind issues than I do, but having a western balcony just IS a windy headache.
I googled plants for seaside gardens to find the ones which should be able to thrive and am tomorrow planting a honeysuckle and a early (group 1) clematis on the most exposed sides and a wisteria plus a climbing rose on the less exposed.
That should do the trick but we will see.
Good luck with your climbers! 🤞☺️
love your garden
you have inspired me to brave the rain on my balcony and do a bit of gardening i have been procrastinating
Awwww thank you soo much! So glad you love the Cloud Garden ❤ it took me a week to get the garden nack together again, so I totally feel you pushing through to fix your garden. Take it 1 step at a time 🤗❤

Hi. Amazing garden! My balcony is on the 7th floor and I thought that there was no chance to grow anything because of the wind but now you make me re-think. Really inspiring! Thanks.
Beautiful I grow on a cover porch.Somehow I found worms in my pots too, I just feed them.Lol happy growing and stay safe.
Oh wow!! Congrats! Isn't it funny how they move around. You think they'd just stay in one place. You must have created a good home for them! 🥰
Thank you for watching ❤❤
I do believe that the soil you purchased had worn casting mixed in.
Try potatoes I grow mine in bucket s there the easiest thing to grow also water mint a natural oxygenator also you can eat it.
Use the worms for compost ❤️
100%
Fabulous and beautiful, just checked your balcony out because I have been reading all about it in the MEN. Brilliant 🤩
Lovely!!!
I love your garden💕
Love watching your videos, so relaxing and real. Hope all the plants are doing ok now it's got a bit chillier again

Anytime 🤗❤❤❤

Interesting what you say about the arches and the wind. We are going to move soon to a 5th floor flat and I was thinking about climbers and grapes. Great vid and keep them coming. X
How did your climbers go? Happy New Year 🥰

Thank you I will make sure to do a video on the herb tower for you! I'm excited to see your gardens progress too! :)
