Last year was… a flop. I started too late and didn’t have proper light. This year I have lights to help with the fact that my balcony only gets part sun and I started things a lot earlier. I already have tomatoes and squash and sugar snap peas flowering(and producing in the case of tomatoes)! I will be hand pollinating stuff like squash to ensure production because I adore squash. I frequently rearrange and change light heights to give plants what they need and even though some containers aren’t “big enough” this is for 2 people I don’t need to exactly maximize production from individual plants.
Here’s what I’ve crammed onto my balcony:
5 tomato varieties (determinate and indeterminate (it’s an experiment))
Yellow summer squash
Bell peppers x3
Shishito peppers
Purple cayenne
Bush beans
Pole beans
Radishes
Lettuce
Bok choy
Sugar snap peas
Cucamelons
Flowers
Okra
Herbs (4 varieties of mint, basil, thyme, sage, oregano, cilantro)
