Hello, I am Inka and this is my balcony garden at 2 sq. m. space, at the back of a major boulevard in Sofia, Bulgaria.
It is called "Inka v gradinka" and you can explore more videos and pictures here, as I try to inspire more people to start their own balcony gardens.
For the 5th season I grow herbs, spices, cherry tomatoes and chilli peppers, taking the challenge of urban gardening at such tiny space. This year we grew so far: mint, basil, thyme, oregano, salvia, savory, flowers and jasmine in the 8 long pots on the railing,as well as 7 more hanging pots, 4 levels of herbs in water and even more jasmine.
My true passion is the hanging garden - DIY pots for growing cherry tomatoes and chilli peppers in the air. This is the ultimate solution for small spaces and also so easy to make!
The stars of the balcony garden are the chilli peppers - currently we grow 13 different of the hottest peppers in the world including the mighty Carolina Reaper and our national pride - the Bulgarian Carrot.
My mission is to show how easy it is to make a garden no matter the space and I hope to meet other balcony gardeners to exchange ideas!
