When I moved into my flat two years ago, the balcony was empty except 1. an old chair. I decided to try growing some vegetables, even though I had never done any gardening before. I started with tomatoes, 2. are quite easy to grow in pots. I bought three small plants and put them in the sunniest corner, and I watered them every morning before work. For a while nothing much happened, but after a 3. weeks the first yellow flowers appeared. By the end of the summer I had so 4. tomatoes that I gave bags of them to my neighbours. This year I'm growing beans and herbs too. If you have a balcony, I really recommend it. You don't need much space, and there's nothing better than eating something you have grown all by 5.. The only problem is the pigeons. They seem to love young leaves just as much 6. I do!
