No Garden, just a Patio or Balcony? You can still grow Vegetables

Lettuce (I think!)

Vegetables in Pots

Because you don't have a Garden as such, but would like to add a bit of 'the unusual' to your Patio or Balcony, vegetables will grow in most cases.
The only downside of it is that they will need more attention, especially in so far as watering goes.

For the last two years, because of succession, we've run out of space on the main patch and me being a tad lazy and not wanting to dig and prepare more garden, we tried some things out in Pots of all descriptions.

As long as the drainage is good but the soil is not allowed to become dry and lifeless, you should be able to grow almost anything.

I've succesfully grown Carrots, Aubergines, Broad Beans, Courgettes, Strawberries, Cucumbers and Tomatoes. I also tried some Runner Beans as an experiment, but luck would have it that whilst they were growing, I was away a lot and it was the hottest Summer on record. Alas, they didn't make it.

One benefit of Pot growing is that it's easier to control Slugs who can be stopped quite effectively by placing soot around the base (the soot needs to be at least a year old).
Go to most Allotments and there's a deal with a local Chimney Sweep for it!

So with a bit of extra care, you can do it. As always, the proof is in the eating!
