My Balcony - a green oase

My balcony is my pride. It's been great to grow plants in our flat as well as outside on the small, but very nice and sunny balcony. During Spring and Summer, we have grown quite some things. My biggest success were the tomatoes, sunflowers and chillies.

Some pictures from Spring when all plants were still quite small.

The sunflowers through the months. We have grown them with seeds from last years flowers and gave away about 25 plants to Mr.B's and my mom. Ours are now out of bloom, but the ones in the gardens look still quite fine!

The tomatoes. I had two plants, one big one and one quite small. Last year I grew coctail tomatoes, this year we had the normal-sized ones. The coctail tomatoes work better on the balcony and we will probably switch back next summer. I still had about 20 tomatoes this year. Quite yummy!

My sunflowers during midgrowth, they are now about 30cm taller.

The chillies are totally awesome! We have about 10 big ones on this plant and some small ones on another one. They now turn red!

Do you plant anything at home or in your garden?

Happy Sunday!
