This is my first year growing an all balcony container garden I’m not new to gardening but my small space is new to me and so much fun. I’m growing alot of variety of vegetables with flowers for pollinators I’m in Texas! Your garden is just lovely ❤

[@balconiagarden]

Hi Renee, so exciting for you to start a new gardening experience! I love that you're growing flowers for the pollinators too, it will fill your space with life. I wish all the best with your new container garden! 🌱💚💐

Happy to see another post from you! First time commenter but long time viewer of your videos. I’m always really inspired by how much you fit on your balcony. I’ve especially enjoyed your videos about flower bulbs on the balcony. I’m also gardening on a balcony in Germany. I’ve got a real love for flowers and find it hard to give up space for veg - with the exception of tomatoes as I love the smell! My new challenge for this year is dahlia tubers.

[@balconiagarden]

Hi Auj, thank you so much for your comment and support! And always nice to have contact with a fellow balcony gardener, in germany too 😄 it is difficult deciding what to grow in a small space, I would always grow for beings you the most amount of happiness 😊 good luck with the dahlias, they sound fab 💐

Thank you very much for your new video. Very clear plan! I also grow plants in containers, not on balcony, but in my little garden, 5mx7m. At the moments I prefer flowers and already have tulips, hyacinths, daffodils. Very nice to have your videos again.

[@balconiagarden]

You're very welcome, Liudmila! So glad you enjoyed the video 🤗 sounds like your garden is looking like a spring flower paradise 🌷

[@binduliyanage1521]

Wow, you are amazing. All the best and happy gardening 💕

[@balconiagarden]

Hi Bindu, thank you so much for your comment! I also wish you well in all your gardening endeavours 🌱💚

[@Livebeautifullytoday]

What a beautiful video and garden! I post mostly about thrifting and styling but I just filmed a gardening video that I will post soon that I’m really excited about! Thank you for the inspiration. Love your channel definitely subscribing

[@balconiagarden]

Thank you so much for your lovely comment 😀 and how exciting that you've filmed your first video! I wish you lots of success and fun gardening times 💚🌱

[@ClaireCelticMystic]

You are my hero! Thank you for your beautiful videos. as I need to learn how to do this. I no longer have the energy for a huge project, but I do feel very inspired to create a container garden on my back stone wall area that has a large flat, 2-ft-wide gravel shelf-top, and backsplash of earth and flowers and grasses. Fun. I began with my 7 hyacinths.

[@balconiagarden]

Hi Claire, so happy you find the videos useful! There are so many pros to having a container garden and I think it's great you're starting your own. Your initial ideas sounds fab 😄 I wish you lots of joy and success in your new growing space! 🌱🎉

[@ClaireCelticMystic]

@@balconiagarden Everything is growing well, and it feels so great: I now have a resident mouse hanging about, a robin, and a wee frog enjoying the sweet little pond I made from a shallow tub with rocks and sticks in it, so no one drowns, and I saw the robin take a bath in it! Nature loves water. Also I made a lot of small pots of sunflowers and sweet pea with a chia seed "ground cover," ha!

[@joshefrags5471]

Thank you for being incredibly informative. I have taken your word into consideration in my pot garden this year, and it is turning out better and better. Truly I couldn't thank you enough for also taking our gardens into consideration as you do yours. I am so excited haha. Hope you can find some joy in todays Eclipse and have a great day as well!!!

[@balconiagarden]

That makes me so happy and proud to hear that, Josh 😄 I actually always try to include information that I wanted to know when I first started gardening, I always thought that if I had these questions then so would other container gardeners. Glad to be a part of your gardening journey! 💚🌱

[@joshefrags5471]

@@balconiagarden Well thank you for including such information needed and your knowledge for container gardening. Glad to see the shine as always in your wonderful balconia garden!

Your carrots look so cute and yummy what variety are you growing?

[@balconiagarden]

They were so cute and delicious 😋 the variety is Adelaide, a true baby carrot which is perfect for growing in pots. Can recommend!

[@tingtiing]

Hi, I‘m from Germany, too. Can you recommend a company for shopping the seeds or dwarf plants? Thank you so much☺️

[@balconiagarden]

Hello, I actually buy almost all of my seeds and plants from Bauhaus! They have a wide range of varieties and the quality has been good so far. Other times I have found the variety of seeds I want to grow through research and then found those seeds online 🤗

[@tingtiing]

@@balconiagarden nice thank you for the reply.

[@tingtiing]

@@balconiagarden what websites do you buy from? ☺️

[@balconiagarden]

@@tingtiing flora gard have been good in the past. I've also bought a few bits and bobs from local garden centres, on Cologne there is Dingers and Hollander.
