Balcony

This is my balcony farm. It is productive. It is also clean, tidy and manicured. I hope to inspire and motivate with my ideas and products. Creating a balcony farm is easy and the results are delicious and rewarding.

Here are some photos of my urban agriculture method. Click on each photo for more detail.

Planting the seedings.

After a month, I started harvesting. Rainbow swiss chard and kale were first.

Potatoes, tomatoes and eggplants...very happy together.

English trug...harvest with style.

Baby eggplants. Grows well in a small space and on the balcony.

Big eggplant. This was a 2-pounder!

This is good placement of potted herbs.

My hydroponic growers. These tomato plants lasted 365 days! I ate hundreds of cherry tomatoes.

Hydroponic-grown lettuce. Easy to grow and delicious.
