How it started (spring 2018) versus right now (2019), it's a great difference!

You did a wonderful job. Now it's time to play Tetris. As your plants grow, you'll have to get creative on moving them around to water, trim, harvest and monitor without dropping a container or breaking stems off. I have that problem with my little greenhouse. Now that everything is growing, it's difficult to get to the plant and monitor it. The only way I can is by moving plants around everyday.

Thank you! It happened a couple of times already that I accidentally broke a pepper plants branch, or tomato tip, or even a whole container and I had to repot the plants that were in it immediately (luckily they didn't break anything). I'd rather keep everything in place as much as possible and now I just slither through the bushes all day like a snake, holding a garden hose and fertilizer...

This balcony is definitely limitless as I just discovered my first ever watermelon that doesn't fall off right after showing up!

Oh and this year is also my first attempt at kiwano (cucumber family member). It grows in Africa and it was a store bought fruit seed. I never expected this to happen but now there is an actual kiwano showing up:

Looking good! All that work is paying off, plus so much fun. Thank you for sharing your garden.
NOT A EXPERT! Just a grow worm! I never met a plant I didn’t love.✌
