planted some of the flower buds into small pots to either give away or sell
I have about 200 of them and planted some in 16 small pots I had saved from previous purchases.
The tray I bought from Action fit 4x4 pots perfectly, so I can easily water them from bottom.

First time growing broccoli. Have no idea how it will go. I'm sure I planted way too many, but it better this way just in case they don't survive

I am going to try selling some and get money for my incoming gardening season.

I have more than I need, but still mad at her. She is so bold that it just walked towards me while I was cleaning up the planters on the balcony, no fear at all. I wouldn't mind having her around if it wasn't for her destructive habits.
Anyway, going to put the spinache in individual containers getting ready for spring time planting them outside.
Was planning to use half of them for hydroponics, but I'm not sure because we are moving forward selling our apartment and moving them around will be a drag.

It was getting too much so I decided to cut it off and will dry them inside the oven later
This is the 3rd harvest and the largest one so far I'm hoping that they keep giving me this much parsley every few weeks from now on so I can enjoy having fresh parsley and home dried, chemical free ones when needed.

Going to try growing them in hydroponics this time.
Have other pictures and will post them later.

Still getting some tomatoes from plants on the balcony. Going to start a new batch today for the coming spring.

I know it doesn't look good but it's like magic for tomatoes and peppers.
I used to make this mix of bandana peels, tea leaves (used), potato peels, some orange peels and baking soda.
I put it into my quick mixer with some water and mix it to a moosh. I then mix it with some old soil from last and put it in a 1tL paint bucket, i add a layer of old soil over it (same amount as the mixed quantity).
I keep doing this until the pot is full then leave it on the balcony to compost.
By end of February or early March it will be ready to be used.
I use 1 dL of this mix 1dL of old plant soil. Mix them well and use it as the maine soil for tomatoes, peppers and other vegetables that I grow in containers and sacks.
It's a great way of quick #composting and cutting the amount of #garbage I produce.

Put it in last week and I was afraid it wasn't doing so good, but adding more nutrients to the reservoir and a few days of sunshine seems to be doing magic and this little guy is coming back to life.
I'm hoping to have enough runners to setup a little strawberry tower outside this summer.

It's still much less than any other seeds with a 20% rate. But if I get a few plants for the hydroponic tower I'm setting up, it will be great.

It's not much but it's giving me hope and joy to work towards bigger harvest later in during spring and summer.

Didn't know I had a pepper growing there.
It's from the seeds of peppers I bought in little Africa back in Paris before I moved. Didn't remember it I saved the seeds.
These are delicious and spicy peppers and great for African dishes.

She is so excited and nervous and been online for almost 3h to go over every education in t different cities in Sweden.
The parsley is already put into the container and ready to be used.z
Amazing how different the color of my own dried ones are from those commercial ones.

The hydroponic unit by the balcony door is growing parsley really well so I have to cut some more and freeze them so it grows more.
At this rate I no longer need to buy any parsley (€5-€7 euro saving per year:) )

Slowly building up my plant collection for my future house!
#Gardening #BalconyGarden #ContainerGarden #SouthOfFrance #Plants
I bought it for 1 euro about 8 years ago at Ikea when I was in Paris.
It was growing in a 2L self watering planter for a few years before I moved it to a 5L one and last year moved it into a 12L pot on the balcony.
It has grown to over 1.5m tall and needs a new larger pot (that I don't have).
Aa much as I love it, I think it is time to say good bye to it.
Don't know how much I can get for it.

Found this on the street when I was going to visit my doctor, probably had fell from a balcony or when someone was moving.
Pit it in a small pot and kept it outside for about 2 months and now it's in great shape and having new branches and leaves.
I love these and the 2 I had back in Paris didn't make the move. Now I'm starting over again.

I wasn't expecting them to grow big, just to deter the bugs from my strawberries on the balcony. It worked and I didn't have any problems with bugs on any of the pots with strawberries (despite huge problems with other plants and bugs).
Some 7 months later, the strawberries are all in winter mode and these onions are getting really big. I have already picked a few of them from the pots and used them in cooking or frozen some as they get too big for the small planters on the balcony.
These 2 are going to be used in a spring onion soup and the rest will be frozen for future use.
Thanks to the tip someone gave me last spring, I have been self sufficient when it comes to these and don't think I will ever buy them from the shops again.
