I enjoy that. We tried some vegetables ourselves and i am so happy that it gives some yield. even if a small quantity i find its really precious. and watering them daily gives a refreshing feel. We used to grow some tomatoes, cucumber, bitter gourd , beans , spinach, chilly . Do u do this?

O live in an appartment but I have a very small balcony and I grow vegetables in pots out there in the summer. Last year I had tomatoes, cucumbers radishes, lettuce, basil, sage, rosemary and even strawberries. It's great to go out and pick stuff and immediately make it into a salad! Two years ago I also had runner beans but they grew too tall and did not produce many beans as they get too much sun there. It scorched them.

@sans224 Yes it is. It is not easy in pots on a small balcony though as they need watering every day. One day missed and the plants really suffer.

@mysdianait there is some capillary method thru which we can ensure enough water and save water too.

yes,. When I was back in my hometown we used to have a big backyard. I used to plant vegetables there. I can say that I enjoyed gardening and planting. And it made me feel really relaxed and good about myself especially when I see them grow and get to harvest them. :)

A long time ago I grow tomatoes, squash, beans, eggplants and other sort of green leafy veg. Then I switched to ornamental plants when someone gifted me different kind of cactus and orchids. Now, Im trying my hands on vertical gardening. And yes! I have a lemon tree now that is bearing fruit. It look sooooo cool!

@sans224 If it turned nice I'll post it here. You should try too. There are a lot of cute vertical gardening. Quite nice and I think much better because ants and other pest wont be able to reach them easy.

I have fresh fruit and vegetables year round. The weather is good for growing and enjoy picking different items. We had an unusual winter, so even picked blueberries.
