No winter lasts forever; no spring skips its turn.
There is a loveliness to life that does not fade. Winter, it is the time for home.
And January and February are such a good time to start planning your balcony vegetable garden. Oscar Wilde said once, "Wisdom comes with winters."
Preparing our growing space, but more importantly, preparing our mind is the key to a successful and fruitful vegetable season.

I cannot believe the amount of produce you have produced in such a small space. It's so inspiring.

This woman is taking more loving, sustainable care of the soil in her raised boxes on a balcony in an apartment than monocrop farmers are on their acres of land. We need more regenerative agriculture enthusiasts- thank you for this lovely video!

[@Her86m2]

Soil is one of the precious resources ❤️🙌

[@travel_nature_and_life]

absolutly true !

[@treasuresofearth3014]

Farming is extremely labour intensive tho, I watched Clarkson's Farm on Amazon Prime and it makes me appreciate farmers' work.

[@AbroadonaBudget]

@@treasuresofearth3014 absolutely! I agree that there is so much time invested in it and it makes you really appreciate those who do it well.

Oh wow I thought the same thing. Yes

[@novadexter4459]

This made me super emotional. It's so beautiful and it made me feel so connected to our most basic forms of subsistence and providing for ourselves - growing our own food!

[@Raekonn]

I don't know what it is that you have that so many others don't, but this is pure art. I keep coming back to your videos every single time. God bless you and your family, the world needs more people like you who can find beauty and peace in simplicity.

[@keoni_6375]

I'm only within 2 minutes of watching this and I'm in such awe of how well put together this is! So educational yet aesthetically pleasing.

[@SaffiyahNana]

My mom used to say gardening is a mind therapy and it does. Just by watching on your video, makes me feel at ease. Btw, thank you for the gardening tips. 💕

[@Her86m2]

❤️

[@GemmaJohnshat]

I absolutely love how well researched everything you put on your channel is! It must take a lot of time and effort to wrap so much knowledge into such beautiful picutures. I have lived in Germany all my life but I still learn so many things from your videos and I'm really lucky that I can access the same products and places because you are not vlogging from the United States 😅. Your videos are a massive inspiration! Thank you so much!

[@Her86m2]

Dankeschön

[@rahmatabrahim521]

I've been watching heaps of gardening videos but this one is exceptional; thoughtful tips and beautiful video art

[@travel_nature_and_life]

Yes & so beautifully produced ..."Her" videos are truly top notch👏

[@sarius24]

Gardeners are the most peaceful breed of people ☺️

[@angelacarter6593]

Probably the best balcony garden I've ever seen but what I love most is how you let your child participate. So beautiful to see.

[@MayoUtuk]

I personally think the best way to life is by 100% authentically being ourselves and accepting ourselves for who we are, what we have and even where we live. Finding your channel in 2020 helped me see that. 💡 A life I Once hated has become a life I can't wait to document and share with the world. You made me accept myself and now all I can say is that You are indeed a gift 🌟

[@Her86m2]

Thank you sister

[@nla5307]

This was beautiful.

[@carrier6517]

I would have to agree :)

[@littlehummingbird1015]

I appreciate the way you use your cardboard juice cartons....placing them on their sides....clever!

[@user-vm6to3ox1q]

This has blown my mind!! Clearly you have put a lot of research and effort into this!! I have a big backyard and I'm struggling too fill the space up cause it's so overwhelming!! Even in this small space I wouldn't know what to do with it!! And the best part it it gets your little one involved and she is learning and not missing out on how to garden which is a very important skill too learn now more than ever!! Well done!!

[@homebodies.adventure6673]

You take very good care of your plants. Love your balcony.

[@christinemongeau4355]

Such a beautiful sweet young lady. Your gentleness is precious, whether with your child or the little kitty. . . So refreshing. I love the creative nature of your projects. Your artistic nature of your filming. Perfect !

[@Her86m2]

Thank you Christine ❤️

[@linhq7]

“The only thing you should spend good money on is soil”. Thanks for the most precious advice though I learned it the hard way. Spending 6 months to grow out a few tomato trees from seeds made me extremely happy. However, I wasn’t able to harvest their fruits due to the diseases. The tree rotted day by day with their green fruits on :(

[@Her86m2]

Calcium deficiency :( Also for tomatoes many other nutrients - Zinc, Copper, Manganese, Iron, Sulphur and Boron are also required in small quantities

[@charlycharly9795]

You can harvest tomatoes that are green and let them sit for a while, they will ripen and turn red

[@hesaaah3805]

Mine never make it cuz of pests, I believe spider mites 😩

[@ambern.9887]

@@hesaaah3805 Use plain dish soap in water it Dr is out most bugs and doesn't hurt the plant . 3 or 4 drops of regular dish soap to a good garden sprayer of water will do.If you get animals eat I things. Boil 4 or 5 Jalapenos or any hot pepper.a head of garlic Cayenne will work but it takes more .on a grill in a Dutch oven or stock pot filled with WATER Add Sesame oil 3 TBL SPNS.A few citrus peels. Squirt of dish soap. Boil with lid till soft avoid getting steam in face. Let cool strain through an old hin dish towel panty hose or a piece of thin t shirt inside a commander. Press through with a spoon.Use a chafing tank and spray daily the first week then every 3 to 4 to allow the good bugs to pollinate . after you set fruit you can spray more or less . it works..

[@ambern.9887]

Do you have an organic product you recommend to increase each of those? I know to use egg shells.

[@Salafyyy]

im hella depressed n want to build something with my hands, i found this gem n started crying

[@SignatureStagers]

this is one of the best videos ive ever seen on youtube...every bit of it.

[@egabem3935]

You inspired me to start planting and make a beautiful garden like this huhuuu

[@Her86m2]

You can do it!

[@StarOnTheWater]

You are absolute right! Don't waste money on plants that are not going to thrive under the conditions at hand. My balcony gets over 50 C in the summer, you can't water enough, so I switched all the decorative plants to succulents, crassulacae, grasses and such. They flower like crazy, I'm happy, bees are happy, and I can grow some veggies in the few shaded spots. 🙂

[@ashtonhoffman1121]

I've always wanted to garden but I'm very transitory and very financially unstable (early 20s in the US) and I'm not very good with plants in the first place. So I absolutely adore and really, really appreciate videos like this that clearly and beautifully introduce complex topics. Thank you so much for your lovely and informative work!

[@Sgettieddi]

Check out her hydroponic gardening video #43. You can do it!

[@funtastygal]

Love this kind of content, especially the intro shots. I have to re-watch it over and over. I live in a tropical 🍹🐠 country that's why I'm fascinated with ❄️🌨️.

[@Her86m2]

I can totally relate (being born and raised in a tropical country) 🤣🤣

[@rivereye22444]

Ich werde demnächst zum ersten mal einen Balkon haben und dein Video ist genau was ich gesucht habe, um mit der Planung anzufangen, vielen Dank! Das sieht alles so wunderschön bei dir aus 🥰

[@shruti2453]

I can't talk enough about how therapeutic this video is... Omg i lovee this ❤️

[@tokyokacie]

This is the only informational gardening video that has ever made me feel emotional. Beautifully done. I'm not a gardener but have recently thought about planting a few small plants. Thank you for this work of art and information.

[@rachelrose6756]

It has this affect on me too. For some reason I feel like crying because it’s so beautiful, like an amazing sunset.

[@ibotm9383]

Thank you! I’m in the US and accidentally read too much news at once, which can amplify my anxiety. I was starting to panic and then I heard someone talking about gardening, which started to calm me. Then I sought out “gardening” videos on KZbin and found this. I’m now calm again and so grateful. Also this video was wonderfully informative on the topic, and I really appreciate the captioning as well. I’m autistic and captioning helps (even if there are spoken words-it helps to have the visual as well, regardless of hearing ability [it’s a processing issue]).

[@wonha1644]

[@flavarz]

This was both an informative and emotional video, I have to watch it again later.

[@FknNefFy]

If anyone is reading this this is really really good advice ...don’t take it for granted because a lot of these things I had to learn the hard way start off by figuring out what zone you live in and how much sun you get because a lot of my plants did not “thrive” by my non-south facing balcony!

Tomaten im Januar aussäen? Wow. Hast du ein Gewächshaus? Oder wohin kommen die in 6-8 Wochen?

[@theartofnaturegermany]

@@veros.9318 ich säe sie Ende Januar/ Anfang Februar in kleine Aufzuchttöpfe aus und stell sie an mein Südfenster auf die Fensterbank. Wenn ich das zu dieser Zeit mache, dann sind alle Tomaten reif bevor der Winter kommt. Ansonsten müsste ich manche grün abernten und nachreifen lassen und da find ich dass sie dann nicht mehr so gut schmecken 🤷🏼‍♀️ deswegen die frühe Aussaat
