I am so excited to share my top five tips for creating a beautiful and aesthetic balcony vegetable garden. I've been balcony gardening for the past four or five years, starting with a tiny nine-square-foot space in New York City. Now, I'm lucky enough to have a 150-square-foot balcony where I grow most of my fruits and veggies during the summer.
I love gardening so much, and there's nothing better than sitting on your balcony and enjoying a refreshing drink and the scent of herbs (or some cut flowers). So I'm going to help you make the most out of your balcony garden, whether it's your first or second year.
