What do you have growing on your balcony?

Hi Everyone,
I have a real passion for my balcony, If I could i would utilize every space I would, with much raised eyebrows from the neighbors who really dont give a shit about theirs hahaha. We have really warm summers here in Switzerland and really cold winters, so its always a pleasure to prepare and watch my balcony grow. Im a sucker for herbs, and small fruit trees; love the aromatic scents they all give off, and try to throw some flowers in there to attract the bees; love collecting the fruit when ripe; what do you grow? What are your favorite herbs, fruits or flowers and what do you use them in? Curious here :)Screen Shot 2014-05-26 at 12.35.18.png Screen Shot 2014-05-26 at 12.35.40.png Screen Shot 2014-05-26 at 12.35.18.png Screen Shot 2014-05-26 at 12.34.51.png

Hi Everyone,
I have a real passion for my balcony..]
Tomatoes, Peppers, Onions, Kale, Swiss Chard, Lettuces, Broccoli, Spinach, Asparagus, Passion Fruit, Cucumbers and Celery.

I'm sure your neighbors are just in awe of what can be done with that space! I am sure you are helping to encourage them to work on their own gardens!!

I also planted some garlic and sping onions in with the tomatoes; they seem to be getting along and all really growing now; I am at the moment away for a week, and with thanks to a nice neighbor they are taking care of all my babies, miss pottering around out there though, although I am expecting to get back to a jungle ...hahaha

Absolutely love your balcony! I have a couple strawberries, mostly succulents, and a few flowers, sweet potatoe vine, asparagus fern. I definitely take pride in my 'kick it' spot as well. ATB!
