Just got transplants in and seeds are sprouting. I’m also thinking about what else to fill the space with. Second summer growing on my balcony, my tomatoes took over last year.
I keep things well watered, get good sun throughout the day, and do a ton of training and pruning throughout the season to keep plants productive despite close quarters. Also use neem spray to prevent pests. Beds are deep, good draining, organic container mix, mushroom compost, and plenty of veggie fertilizer on planting/transplants.

Oh and balcony is south facing so plenty of sun
Looks great! I’ve been using an IKEA VESKEN shelf unit to grow leaf lettuce for the last few years. I line the shelves with landscape fabric, fill with dirt and sprinkle seeds. About a week in, I do the next shelf so the crop is rotated. I have lettuce all summer. I’ve been putting two pots on the top shelf where I grow green onions and/or radishes. I use zip ties to keep it upright against the deck posts when it’s windy. It works great and it’s an easy addition if you’ve got room
Can anyone give clarification if those strawberries are planted too deeply? I cant tell
