Hope your garden will be as nice as it uses to be.

Good idea to start planning! Have you tried growing cucumbers before? I love growing the round yellow cucumbers.

#2 i have not, atleast since I moved in here. Think I had some when I lived in Borås. Only thing I really miss from the time I lived there, my HUGE balcony.

Oh bummer, I do envy those who have huge balconies with plenty of sunlight.

Have you tried growing djungelgurka (mouse melons)? I wonder if they can be grown on a balcony.

That one got my interest. I got some "Äppelgurka" (Cucumis sativus) I might try out

I'm also trying that out this year! But I agree, I saw the Mouse Melon cucumbers on a gardener's TikTok last night and thought they would be perfect to throw into summer salads. I might have to try to grow them this year too.

I think I will skip on the Tigerella tomatoes this year and maybe have two of the Tiny Tim tomato. And since my lime and kalamodin didn`t survive I might put some cucumber up against that wall.

I would like to try lemon and lime outside, but it must be really hard. I tried lemon indoors a few times, but it died as they seem to be very prone to spider mites. I wonder if it needs to be grown a green house, even during the summer? Have you heard of this lemon? I was looking up what a kalamodin citrus was and found it. It looks like monster fingers haha.

They do need a lot f sun and a place that is´nt to windy, So where I had them on this balcony was perfect, the brickwall got a lot of sun and kept them warm and cozy
That one looks like something I would like to have. But the PRICE??

It is pricey!

I did som searching and came up with this:

Look what I found in my concrete garden today. The chives is growing

And the rhubarb too

It´s growing out on the balcony
First the gooseberrys

Then the rhubarb

The white currant and above it the chives

And the red currant

I was really tempted to buy a kumquat yesterday, but I couldn´t decide, so maybe later?

And the tomatoes are coming too

Looking good! Did you start the Rhubarb from seed?

No I won the rhubarbplant, at a fleamarket many years ago.( I think it was 2009 or 2010)

Wish I had a bigger balcony. Found this site yesterday and I´m really tempted.

I was trying to grow one from seed but out of the three seedlings I had only one survived and I don't think it will make it. So I just ordered this vinrabarber https://www.wramsskafferi.se/produkt/spangsbjerg-rabarber

It's supposed to be a good one for pies.

And those dwarf fruit trees are so tempting! I thought I would plant some one my lot but I think it would be too tight.

It´s growing a lot
first the gooseberries

After that the white currants lots of small berries and behind that bush, one of the chivepots, not much to se, since I already harvested it.

And same with the rhubarb and in the pot beside it the Tiny Tim tomatoes

An the we have some parsley and two different kind of chives. And we got a cute little blue bowl for birds to drink from.

And last but not least the red currants

And we have a new pot in the concretegarden: The potatopot

Looks great! Have you been able to harvest anything yet? 😊

Yes, the chive and rhubarb. The other berries need some more time

That’s great!

And here´s a picture from the potatopot

Today´s harvest. Sadly it looks like this is all I´m going to get from the red currants

Any updates on the garden?

Feels like everything is going much slower this year. At this time las year I had a lot of tomatoes on the Tiny Tim plant, this year i still hasn´t blossomed yet and is very small😥

I have harvested some chives and parsley and the white currants are ready soon.

Look what I got to harvest today😁
some white currant and one red gooseberry

The rain has truly been miserable this summer 😩 a lot of my plants have been eaten my slugs. Plus I had a few big winter squash and someone stole them all.

I don´t know what to say about this summer, well I guess I have next summer to look forward too. Hopefully it will be better.
Sad to hear that people can´t let others have what they worked for😥

Finally my Tiny Tim is blossoming. Hopefully we get some nice weather,, in september, so I might get some tomatoes

Fingers crossed for good weather 🤞🙏☀️

Look!! Not only one but four small tomatoes

Look at this! It´s october and now my tomatoes are growing??

This is what I found when I emptied out the potatopot, a while ago.
