MY FIRST BALCONY GARDEN VEGETABLE HARVEST | Massive harvest from my garden in London

[@AllAboutAnika]

How many kilos of tomatoes do you think I will grow this year?

[@AllAboutAnika]

Haha good guess

[@AllAboutAnika]

Not horribly off but yeah I got way more than just 1 kilo

[@queendas4491]

i thought it would be around 1.5 kg..n i was close to the real weight☺

[@AllAboutAnika]

Great guess 😊

[@janithvimahima9728]

Loved it... Though in my country we never wash onions immediately after harvest. We sun dry the onions with peels. And then remove the soil on the surface. This ensures their long age. And whenever we need to use them.. We wash them. 🙃💗

[@AllAboutAnika]

Ohhhh I’ve learned something new today. Thanks for sharing 😊

[@SteffieWeffy1]

Yes it's like potatoes you never wash them you let them dry. They store better with some soil on them.

[@KatherineRoseArt]

Well unless you plan to use them right away ... i pulled my onions as I needed them to cook w/ so I washed and then just chopped them up for dinner.

[@berrybuena]

Same

[@SteffaniesJourney]

For the onions, put less in the pot and they will grow bigger. They’re small because they didn’t have room to grow. Thanks for sharing your garden.

[@AllAboutAnika]

Thanks for the tip and thanks for watching 😄

[@gisellegonzalez2628]

I love container gardening, it’s so satisfying to pick literally the fruits of your labor lol. As for the onions I use deep pots and I add three buds per pot, good potting soil with pebbles at the bottom for drainage. Great garden!!!!

[@AllAboutAnika]

Oh such great tips! Willl consider when planting onions this year!

[@Bexi222]

I grow tomatoes and peppers on my tiny Swedish balcony, and I’m so inspired by your set up! So many beautiful healthy plants in a small balcony space. Wow!

We use our chillies to make - chutney/pickle, dried chilli, chilli powder, sauce/paste, sometimes if they aren’t so hot we stuff them with mince and fry them.

[@AllAboutAnika]

Thanks for watching and great suggestion :)

Thank you for your video's. I am going to watch as many as possible to catch up. I just found you and subscribed.

[@AllAboutAnika]

Thanks for watching and for subscribing and for your lovely comment!!! Best of luck with your deck garden!

[@nicoleci6969]

Amazing hobby, lovely. You can finely chop the chillis and slowly cook them together with lots of finely chopped garlic and onions. You can use vegetable oil. Cook over low fire until they are all nice and mushy. Season to taste. Can use them as topping for steamed dumplings together with toasted garlic plus lime juice and soy sauce. Yumm

[@AllAboutAnika]

Thank you for watching and thanks for your great suggestion 😊

[@shahanaraferdous3026]

Your balcony looks so lovely, very similar to mine, also in London. So good to see more and more people are growing their own fruits/veg.

[@AllAboutAnika]

Yay for London balcony gardening! What are you growing on your balcony this year? It is nice seeing so many people grow more because of the pandemic.

[@AllAboutAnika]

Thanks 😊

[@gratefulmin1180]

Wonderful Balcony Garden👍 If you really want to grow huge onions, buy seeds and sprinkle them in a small cup or I use the mushroom container I recycle from the grocery store. When they grow to about 6-8 inches high. Separate them. They are tough plants and can easily be separated. Then plant them in your planter. I guarantee you’ll get twice the size of what you harvested from growing sets. Its cheaper too😉👌🏼 Happy gardening!

[@AllAboutAnika]

Thanks for the tips! So helpful, I am going to grow from bulbs in smaller pots first and then transfer them! Looking forward to big onions this year!

Great suggestion. Do you freeze them while or do you chop them up?

Hi Anika, I freeze excess chillies. They freeze well and ideal if you generally use them in cooked dishes or blended salsa/chutney. Love your garden ❤

[@valoriegriego5212]

Lovely garden lady, beautiful garden and sweet harvest! What a great job you are doing in encouraging folks to grow food in whatever size space we have.🙂 I'm a Central Texas gardener. I think the red pepper you tried was a fully ripe jalapeno. You can eat them green or red. The hotter and dryer the weather the hotter the jalapenos on the plant. Two recipes you might look up are Armadillo Eggs and Cowboy Candy.🙂 On the onions...you can grow them to a nice size in a pot. Don't crowd them or thin them out by eating smaller ones through the growing season. Also give them the sunnies spot in your beautiful garden. Onions like it hot. Wishing you a super gardening year!🙂

[@AllAboutAnika]

Thank you so much for your lovely comment and all the tips. I’ll def try some of the tricks you mentioned this year on my garden! 😊

Oh and you are uk too! Okay 👍🏾

[@mingli6753]

@@AllAboutAnika there is another London in Ontario Canada 🇨🇦.

[@primrozie]

I had small onions last year. When I tried to find out why, I discovered there are different onions for northern states and southern. I'm in Pennsylvania and should grow "long day" type. It's about hours of daylight. Definitely google it. Your tomatoes look beautiful! I grew ancho pablano peppers last year and WOW! Loaded plants. I think that's normal for this pepper and it's pretty mild with a little heat. Really nice pepper. My husband dries a lot of the hot peppers and turns them into powder. Garlic is easy, I grow it every year.

[@AllAboutAnika]

Wow you sound like you have an amazing garden! I’ll have to look into growing these specific types of onions. Thanks for the tip! I also might look into garlic as that would be a great crop to grow since I cook with it almost every day! 😊

[@primrozie]

@@AllAboutAnika Plus garlic is medicinal. Anti viral for one. I've been eating garlic toast with a fried egg on top for breakfast because of this virus going around.

[@AllAboutAnika]

Even better at times like these!

How did the tomato did so well at such small pot. Amazing

[@lilurchinjenny5282]

I remember you said you fertilize every 2 weeks from the other videos. It's great for tomatoes but it's too much for onions as they'll be growing more big green tops rather than the bulb. Also harvest when the soil and tops are completely dry so it doesn't rot in storage. My fav tomatoes are Green Zebra, Marvel Striped and Beefsteak, I'm planning to grow some capsicum and chocolate reapers on my balcony :D

Not sure on the weight, but you can grow them through to the 2nd year, cut off the flower stalk and they may surprise you how large they get. I had a bunch of missed onions (tiny ones) that later tried to flower and then grew much larger than other onions I have grown.

My neighbour taught me to brush the soil away from the bulb (once it starts to bulb) not to burry them all the way. He also said to put them in a tiny trench but from what I learned once you water the trench falls so it’s kind of messy to keep up with. You can also try to save those tiny onions and plant them next year!

[@AllAboutAnika]

You can keep the onion leafs dry them out put them in a blender and you got onion salt or you can eat the green freshly picked leafs or fry them
