Love your garden!! Boy if I had a balcony I would have gone nuts 🌱🌱🌱 this summer. 😂 I grow on my windowsills and a little spot on my fire escape in my NYC apt. Spinach, oregano, 2 miniature tomato variety called Tiny Tim, some lettuces and a variety of basils. I utilize my child protective bars outside my window and attach grow pockets that I sewed w/ zip ties to the bars. This way I can grow more greens on my outside window ledge. I also have a couple medicinal plants like aloe, lemon balm, and some air purifying house plants. Thanks for sharing your garden and great job growing your own food.

I LOVE your garden! Just remember that peppers are in fact Perennials! You can either prune it and put it inside in winter.Let it overwinter outside with cover or a blanket (you’re in California, it will be fine) Or just take it inside on frost days.

Hi. The plant in the hanging basket that you found is known as taro. You can cook the leaves with herbs, coconut milk, ockro and carrots and you could also boil and cook the root. You may need to move it from the basket though.

I like how you like dill. All the gardens of my grandmother's generation had lots of dill, which is not only important for pickling, but also for borscht, something you might want to try since you're growing beets as well. 🌻🌸🌺

I grow jasmine sambac aka sampaguita in my language as shade in my balcony to act as a shade. Smells so nice when it blooms. Got tons of aloe vera plant , got rid of my allergies. Got them for 6 years now. I cant wait to grow more varieties of herbs in my rooftop garden this year.

Just wanted to share a little trick I use to keep the porch cats out of my plants. Plastic forks, turned upside down and placed in the dirt with the tines facing upward. It stopped the cats *immediately* from crawling into my pots. I haven’t had that issue at all since the day I started doing it. And if you get the clear forks, they don’t really show that much. When everything is in bloom you won’t even notice them anymore. But the cats will and will stay away.
