I saw a lot of gardeners recommend using neem oil solution as preventative it's with garlic and something i don't rememeber but they say it works, And only you add saop if it's a spot treatment, but the neem oil solution is to prevent insects from laying their eggs in and on your plants in the future, there are alot of videos about it i hope it helps you! Also put insect netting, leave your plant open in the morning and put the insect netting on in the evening, i recommend watching james prigioni's video on that he talked about it and said that it solves 99% of insect problems, i will try both of them out in the future when my plants grow, both seem to be the easiest solutions

You definitely inspired me to start my own balcony garden. This was my first year and I managed to harvest kale, okra, cucumbers, Swiss chard and also chili peppers. Thanks for the inspiration 😃

Ciao, siamo a settembre e io guardo mio papà cosa fa nell'orto, ti posso dire che ha già messo a terra le piantine di finocchi, sta raccogliendo gli ultimi pomodori, però quest'anno ha fatto troppa pioggia quando le piantine erano piccole, e troppo caldo quando dovevano fiorire e questo a fatto si che purtroppo le piante hanno sofferto e i pomodori sono stati pochi e non tanto buoni, se poi ci aggiungiamo le cimici addio. 🤣 Comunque complimenti, sei di ispirazione ❤️

I did not know that the mushrooms growing meant the soil was too moist! That is good information. I like how you rearranged things. Poor Maya doesn't like all the little lights floating around. That pineapple plant is unique!

[@theatienor]

This is amazing! I never thought I could grow veggies in a small balcony, thanks for sharing your tip🫶🏾🤍🤍

[@lifestyleofyashika2056]

Lot of love to your dogs esp senior one ❤❤❤

[@slowlifestories]

Thank you!! 🙏🏻❤️🐾🐶🐕

Gardening always brings peace and joy to each of us. I don't have much space for gardening but a balcony garden is enough for me to happily entertain in the garden every day. Trees always bring me vitality, I forget the pressures of life, immersing myself in nature and understanding the plant world is a wonderful thing. I really like your videos. Wishing everyone with the same hobby of gardening always be happy and cheerful

[@mazee1702]

your balcony garden is looking wonderful full of yummy eats ,, love seeing wee Bella & Maya x x wee Bella looks as bright as a button despite her mobility slowing down due to her age Maya watches her closely which is so lovely, your garden is an inspiration to all , keep safe, love from the UK..

[@slowlifestories]

Thank you so much!! 🥰❤️🙏🏻🐾🐕🐶 and I’m happy to hear that you find the garden inspiring ❤️❤️❤️

[@GiroChase]

Very relaxing video, thank you 🙏 love to see your Dogs 😍🫶

[@slowlifestories]

Glad you enjoyed it 🥰❤️

[@danthanhcg]

Love your vibes. Your passion for gardening is so inspiring.

[@slowlifestories]

Thank you 🙏🏻 ❤️❤️

[@dawnharper5938]

U said the soil was too moist, we drill holes in all our containers if there are none. But I love your videos. They are so linked to my lifestyle. Also in the process of growing but in England. Strawberry plants r relatively simple and bear fruits. But it’s constant learning what works and doesn’t! Feel like u have given me hope for my poor tomato plant which has dwindled away. So going to look for new leaves ❤️

Just Loved watching you Tend to your Garden... The video Dropped at 6H00 here in Capetown South Africa... It is Still Dark Outside as it is Our Winter Season... I am Spending the Last 10 Days in a French Renaissance Guesthouse called Mt Bitjoux in Bloubergstrand Overlooking the Beautiful Ocean and the 7th Wonder of the World Table Mountain.... It is Lovely for Couples and Solo Travelers as you are 2 minutes walk to the Bloubergstrand Beachfront Walkway... Thank you You Are an Inspiration to All of us❤❤

[@slowlifestories]

Wow! That sounds lovely 🥰❤️ I hope you continue enjoying your time there ☺️ and I’m glad to hear you enjoyed the video ❤️

[@lindamcconnell1653]

forgot to mention; I also grow celery in containers. I harvest the leaves also, dehydrate them and make celery salt with them. I also do that with my excess oregano, sage, rosemary. Yummy on roasted veggies or chicken.

[@slowlifestories]

That is a good idea! I wanted to do that last year but forgot to.. I will do it this year!!

[@denisel780]

This is such a beautiful and peaceful video. Your garden is gorgeous. It is so cute how your dogs enjoy being out there too. You've created a wonderful space with all of your plants. I love it. ❤

[@slowlifestories]

Aww thank you so much!! 🙏🏻❤️ I’m really glad you enjoyed the video! 🥰

[@Iceland874]

Wow you sure have a lot of talents. Your plants are beautiful! I don’t have much luck growing things but I adore nature. Your videos are so healing and beautiful! Thank you so much.

[@slowlifestories]

Aww thank you! I’m really glad you enjoy the videos 🥰❤️🙏🏻 I used to feel the same way about growing plants but with a lot of trial and error it gets better 😅

[@lindamcconnell1653]

I am so happy for you ; even though you had some challenges, the garden is thriving. I know about the birds also; last year, I had chickadees eating my swiss chard and this year, the blue jays are eyeing the grapes and the blueberries. They come and check it out every morning. I let them have their fun; I enjoy giving a bit of blessings to them. I'll wake up one morning and they will all have been picked clean; you'd think they would leave me some. LOL!!

[@slowlifestories]

LOL, I would also love to share with them, but I grow on a very small scale-mostly as a learning experience, but still… I wish my building allowed me to put up a bird feeder at least…

[@lindamcconnell1653]

@@slowlifestories Maybe you don't need a hanging bird feeder, just a saucer and sunfllower seeds. They'll come and visit for sure

[@danieladeutsch1708]

Dear Claudi, I love your balcony garden so much! Yes, we have to face some set backs, but at the end we are happy, aren´t we? :) I have a good season of tomatoes and potatoes, not so good with herbs, there have to be inside, or else they got same strange pests, that nothing helps against it. And YES! The ide idea with the copper protection is genius! Look, many outside gardeners use cooper rings to protect, f.e. their Hostas with it! So why not? I love the way you have used all the space on your balcony and still have the place to sit down and enjoy your hard work. I am fan! Many kisses to Bella and Maya, they are so cute! Cannot wait for your next video! I have a question: How often do you fertilize your balcony plants. I do once a week, I am happy with it, but afraid, if it isn´t too often. Much love from Slovakia. Daniela XX

[@slowlifestories]

Hi Daniela!! ❤️❤️ I’m glad to hear that your tomatoes and potatoes are doing good! 🍅🥔 and I’m sorry about the herbs… it’s always something 😪 Right now I am fertilizing every two weeks… I am also afraid that once a week would be too much, but I think it all depends on the fertilizer being used… 🤔

[@vanja222]

I love your stories and your calm vibe 😌🍃 This channel has become the best part of my slow morning routine ☕️💕

[@slowlifestories]

I love to hear this ❤️ thank you! 🙏🏻🥰

[@authorkaterinadennison]

I'm always so impressed by how many plants you fit into that small space, and how you make it look so cozy. My balcony is a little smaller so I'm definitely getting inspiration from your design. I just have houseplants though, so no gardening tips from me. lol. Just a wild jungle vibes over here!🪴

[@slowlifestories]

Thanks so much! And I’m happy to hear you are finding these videos inspiring 🥰❤️

Thanks so much!! ❤️❤️🙏🏻

Love it🇵🇰

[@belindamoore3518]

I had just looked in here yesterday to see if you did a video! So glad it popped up today!!! The garden is doing so well!!!!

[@inthesparklingsky]

I gave up trying to grow anything on my balcony in Spring. Everything ends up dead in June due to pests of any kind. I don't mind birds, but I can't control pests at all between May and July (rainy season here). This year was especially bad because it rained continuously. I'll just focus on my Autumn garden now.

[@senayoranli1216]

💜💜💜💜👏👏👏

[@amandadavid2706]

Glad to see you are working through the bird issue!! An idea- can you try stapling some of the netting to the underside of arbor roof to keep birds out?

[@slowlifestories]

I didn’t even think of it because it’s pretty high up but it’s definitely a good idea! Thanks for the suggestion ❤️🙏🏻

[@stellina3516]

Du hast so schöne Haare 😊💋

[@slowlifestories]

Oh thank you!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️

[@suzannejacobs500]

Maya's little barks are so cute! Does she always barked in a muffled tone? I'm guessing if so, it's because she deaf?

[@slowlifestories]

Yes, Maya is deaf 🐶

[@FatemeLife]

[@slowlifestories]
