    Hi there! 😊 I hope you enjoy this video. I'm starting to think about what to grow this year and which flowers I could add to the other balcony. 🌱🌸 Thank you for taking the time to watch my video! 🎥✨ Rudy

    Thanks for the look back on your gardening year in 2024. I'm very much looking forward to seeing your 2025 plans and videos, as everything you put up is so relaxing and peaceful. I have a small balcony too and grow flowering plants and shrubs on it. At the moment, a pink hellebore is beginning to bloom which brightens up the grey days 😊. Best wishes

      Hi Sue, thank you for your comment. 😊 I'm already working on new projects. This year I will try to get good results also on the balcony where I keep the flowers. The problem is that in summer some plants under the scorching sun suffer a lot and tend to dry out. Your hellebore must be gorgeous! I wish you a nice and peaceful week, without grayness!

    Hi, thanks again for sharing! I tried planting vegetables before, but I had to stop due to some pest issues. 😅 Now, I focus on growing beautiful flowers, and I'm learning to choose the right ones based on their sunlight needs-whether they thrive in full sun or prefer partial shade. Since we don’t experience four seasons here, just sun or rain, it’s been a fun challenge figuring out what works best!

    • @fifthfloorgarden
      @fifthfloorgarden  6 дней назад +1

      Hello! 😊 You can always give vegetables another try. But growing flowers is also wonderful! 🌸 I'm also trying to decide which flowers to plant on my other balcony. Keep in mind that in July and August, the sun is very strong and sometimes "burns" the plants. ☀️🔥 Thank you for watching the video! 🙌🎥

    Beautiful balcony garden.
    I tried growing some tomatoes last year on my balcony, didnt really work well with the wind.
    This year I am going to build some balcony pots and add some greenhouse tents to the balcony to stop the wind.
    My plan for this year is growing tomatoes, peppers, basil, calendula, luffa, beans and probably add more during the seasons.

    • @fifthfloorgarden
      @fifthfloorgarden  6 дней назад

      Hello Braam, welcome! 😊 I know that wind very well since I used to live in Flanders. Two years ago, we had a few days of very strong wind with hail here (it even blew off some house roofs!), but my plants and the trellis I built held up very well. 💪🌿 To your list, I would also add lettuce and cucumbers-it all depends on what you like! 🥬🥒 Thank you for sharing your experience! 🙌✨

    Thank you for sharing so many helpful tips, Rudy. 🥬🍅✨I really appreciate it. Your balcony garden is absolutely gorgeous. All your plants look so healthy, and the tomatoes are just wow - they looked so delicious. I love tomatoes. 😊 It’s clear you’ve put a lot of care into it and it turned out a perfect little oasis! Looking forward to the new gardening season. 🌱

      Hi Ina, thank you for your appreciation. 😊 I'm happy if my experience is helpful to someone. Even in small spaces like this, a lot can be done with a few tricks. Surely having the balcony facing south without obstacles in front helps a lot. Indeed, the tomatoes were delicious and I will definitely put them back this year. I will also make a couple of structural changes. I wish you a peaceful and happy week!

    Did you have many problems with pests? Your lettuces look pristine--really everything looked pretty fantastic. Looking forward to your 2025 season.

    • @fifthfloorgarden
      @fifthfloorgarden  5 дней назад

      Hi, no, luckily I haven't had any problems with pests. Only on one pak choi plant. Keep in mind that everything is organic, I don't use any chemicals. As fertilizer I use bokashi and rarely nettle macerate. Soon I will start preparing the 2025 garden. Thank you very much for your comment. 😊

  • @elina_zuri

    Very calming and peaceful 😌 Thank you for sharing your harvesting journey 🙏🏻 I only started planting tomatoes last year, and had already got some little presents for the New Year 😁 it was so much exciting for I'd never harvested myself before 😅 Alas, it got some pest soon, so I had to get rid of it 😢
    It was nice to see your example of where I can go further 😊

    • @fifthfloorgarden
      @fifthfloorgarden  5 дней назад

      Thank you Elina for your comment, I am very pleased. It is very fascinating to follow the growth process of the seedlings, the first flowers and then the formation of the fruits. Starting from the seeds is even more beautiful. If you have problems with pests you can try with nettle macerate: it is necessary to collect about 500 grams of fresh nettle leaves, wash them, chop them coarsely and put them in a 5 liter container of water. Cover with a lid and let it macerate for 48 hours. At that point you will have a pesticide against aphids and scale insects. The liquid obtained after filtering it with a colander should be sprayed on the plant. Attention, the smell is very unpleasant but disappears immediately after applying it. Left to macerate for more than 15 days it will instead be an excellent fertilizer. Let me know how it goes.

    Buongiorno, complimenti per il suo bellissimo orto così assortito. A me piacciono le piante da interno, ne ho parecchie 😅. Per frutta e verdura mi affido a mio cognato che ha un orto pazzesco.

      Ciao Lara, ti ringrazio per aver apprezzato il video sull'orto. 😊 A dire la verità, non ho molte piante da interno ma ce n'è una a cui sono particolarmente affezionato. Racconto la sua storia nel video #14 ruclips.net/video/FOGPI_tHbQU/видео.html E' una bella fortuna avere qualcuno che ti fornisce frutta e verdura dal proprio orto. Grazie ancora per il commento!

      Hi, thanks for your comment. 😊 You are really very lucky to have a piece of land to cultivate behind your house. Being able to use fruits and vegetables from your own garden is a significant advantage and it is also healthy. Greetings from northern Italy.

    Beautiful little review - your videos are always calming and inspiring and I appreciate the can-do attitude.
    I'm guessing you don't have any snail issues on the balcony. This is my biggest hesitation right now on whether to start, because this area is absolutely riddled with them..

    • @fifthfloorgarden
      @fifthfloorgarden  5 дней назад +1

      Thank you, Peachette, I'm glad you liked it! 😊 Grasshoppers and lizards arrive, but never snails. And anyway, nothing that can damage the plants. For snails I think there are also natural remedies. Try it, maybe a little at a time you will gain experience to avoid the problem
