Your tomato plant will need plenty of sunlight – at least 5 hours each day. Plant your tomatoes in good, nutrient-rich soil, and you’ll soon have a plentiful harvest.

Beans

Beans are also great for containers! Just use a trellis so they can grow upwards and put them in plenty of sun.

Use a container that is at least 12 inches deep, and you can use a trellis to help stabilize them and grow them on your balcony. Make sure they get a few hours of sunlight each day.

Lettuce

Lettuce grows so fast, and you can often harvest lettuce multiple times throughout the season.

Choose a wide pot so the lettuce has room to grow!

Collard Greens

Collard greens are a great alternative to any other leafy green plants!

Radishes

Radishes  grow fast and can grow in nearly any kind of pot, wide or deep. The bigger the variety, the bigger the container you’ll need.

Eggplant

Eggplants do really well in containers. Take good care since they’re pretty vulnerable to garden pests.

Spinach

Spinach grows in partial shade, so you can shove it in the corner of your porch and still get a great plant! It also requires space to grow well!

Kale

Kale likes cold weather and you can grow it in containers and harvest it as a whole plant or just the tender leaves for garnishes and salads.

Chard

Peas

Peas are simple and don’t require much attention, and they don’t need a lot of space, so you can easily grow them on your balcony.They love full sun and plenty of water.
