In cities, many gardeners do not garden at ground level, but the garden is on a window sill, balcony or terrace. Who wants to grow under these conditions, vegetables, and have not much experience, is constantly confronted with the problem, not just to know what can be grown in pots and what not.
Since I started my passion for gardening gardened on a rooftop, I have compiled a list of times today. I know that just any gardener here are their crops for the season to plan and order the seed.
grow in window boxes:
- all annual herbs
- all perennial herbs
- all salads
- cherry tomatoes (especially hanging / twining varieties)
- bean
- radishes
- carrots (but only the round varieties)
- Chili
- rocket
- all cereals
- strawberries
- garlic
- dwarf kohlrabi (no giant places we "Super melting," etc.) was
- vegetables which bred specifically for small gardens or balconies
If enough has room for really big pots, there are many possibilities. Because under such circumstances, it can cultivate almost any vegetable.
grow in large tubs:
- zucchini (need lots of room for the vines, min 0.6 o sqm.)
- pumpkin (just)
- potatoes
- beans
- bean
- cucumber
- Physalis
- Chili
- peppers
- kale
- eggplant
- Mangold
- spinach
- rocket

- strawberries
- kohlrabi
- beans
- all herbs
- sweet potatoes peas / sugar snaps
- Tomatoes (all varieties)

have now, many seed producers adjusted the claims of the growing group of urban gardeners, and offer special seed. One example is the traditional manufacturer Thompson & Morgan, which offers urban since last year, the garden Collection .
However, it should make clear that these specific types of vegetables are usually not only smaller but also often provide smaller yields or small fruit. Who wants to move a giant pumpkin in the balcony box, will certainly not be able to realize his plan, even with special seed.
Poetschke The nursery offers special Saatplatten for window boxes and pots. There the seeds into a fine fiber material is packaged, are required to be nurnoch into a pot, covered with fine earth and cast.
"Complicated" nil operations such as single or mixed sowing of the seeds. For me that would be nothing, but who is convinced he had a "black thumb" and could not get anything to sprout, for such a Saatplatte may be just right. Be sure to note: it is not from these plates to semi-organic seed, who is uncompromising eco, the fingers should be like this . Let
must not be even with the balcony vegetable growing the site preferences of the vegetables aside: almost all vegetables need lots of sun. Who has not much of it should switch to vegetables, make do with just a few hours of sun per day: chard, spinach and bush beans. The heat-loving exotics such as chili, eggplant, tomato or Physalis could not easily grow under these Service. Chilis would can it in a very sunny, hot balconies to dry out the soil quickly in pots are absolutely suitable.
