Plant an herb garden on the balcony: we give you tips on how to make the most of limited space.
Herb garden on the balcony – quick guide to sowing seeds
April and May are the best months to sow seeds for the herb garden. You can use seed trays on a windowsill or a small compact greenhouse, because herbs need warmth to germinate. Hardy herbs, however, can be planted directly in the bed. Fill the containers with special growing soil and place them in a sunny location. After at least 14 days, and sometimes longer for herbs such as rosemary, the seedlings should appear. As soon as you see the first pair of leaves, you can move to the next step. Prepare a flower pot or wooden box on the balcony, fill it with soil without fertilizer, and make a small bed for the herbs. Ask at the garden center which soil is best; most herbs thrive in standard mixes, but there are exceptions. Then carefully lift each plant with its roots and replant the herb garden on the balcony.
Herbs on the balcony – Care Tips
Plant the garden of herbs with enough distance between the individual plants so they have room to grow. Choose a sunny spot on the balcony or in the garden, because herbs need plenty of light. Water the herbs regularly and avoid artificial fertilizers. Ask your garden center how and when each herb should be cut. If you harvest more than you can use immediately in the kitchen, you can dry or freeze the herbs. Below you will find interesting ideas for planting herbs on the balcony and choosing suitable containers.

be predictable is quite smart and clever, and as long as it
is possible to do that, there is a pretty good possibility for being victorious.
PAGThe next approach is playing passive aggressive or higher typically referred to as the “PAG”
