This nutritious plant can survive frost, snow and freezing temperatures, and we can eat fresh kale leaves during the whole winter.
Blueberries
They are small enough to keep in a balcony pot, but you might need at least two blueberry plants in order to get fruit.
Hybrid temptations
You can’t save their seeds like heirloom vegetables, because hybrid vegetables will produce offspring different from the mother plant.
Cherry tomato the balcony king
Cherry tomatoes are one of the most rewarding and delicious crops to grow in small spaces, since even one plant can produce a lot.
Coloured Giant Beans
Such a beautiful pink & black pattern. I bought the seeds at the market in Greece.
Cucamelons
They look like tiny watermelons and taste like cucumber with a hint of lime. They are also very easy to grow.
Purple harvests
Plums and black bean pods. I really enjoy the color of the pods and these bush beans also have purple flowers.
Tomato choices
Black truffle and star plum were the new sorts I tried this year on the balcony. My “tradition” is to buy one as seedling, and plant one from seed from a tomato I ate and found especially yummy.
June brings strawberries
These are big but we also have lots of tiny wild strawberries. They taste a bit like raspberries and make an excellent ground cover.
Chives: tasty perennial herbs
The flowers are edible too. Pretty pink and taste like… chives.
Suprise winter crop
This Colombian chili seems to think it’s still living in the southern hemisphere.
