Welcome to c/BalconyGardening @ slrpnk.net!

About

Show off that vertical veggie garden 35 stories high. Or that bucket of potatoes you're proud of. Perhaps some fall mums that have been catching your eye through the sliding door into your living room. Any and all balcony gardens are welcome! Come and show your's off because we love to see it. :)

We also welcome ideas, tips, and items which have helped you in your balcony gardening journey. No balcony? Feel free to join in with your container garden with limited space too!

I repotted my sugar snap peas into a larger upcycled kitty litter container that I found in a dumpster. There was plenty of space, so I added radishes that only take 23 days to mature to maximize my use of space. What are your favourite companion plants?

(don’t forget the leaves make a great salad)

I would never have thought of eating radishes for breakfast... Is that a common thing in France?

Sautéed radishes are a good addition to an egg and cheese on everything bagel sandwich.

I plan to snack on them, but a search online showed them served sauteed with egg on toast. I imagine that avocado would work as well. Not sure how common it is in France though.
