      @@jana8363 I could include some books in a future video. That's a great idea! I actually learned a lot by helping my mom and my grandparents when I was young. I try to apply what I remember from that time to what I do on my balcony. As for UA-camrs, I follow so many people: Bring Nature Inside, 17m2garden, Gala Studio, Balconia Garden, The Lady Gardener and many more. I love watching Charles Dowding and Grow Veg, they have great advice even if it's not focused on container gardening.

    Ok you inspired me and gave that kick to put the work in. I have two little kids. 1 and 2,5 years old. As you can image the last 4 years I was pregnant or breast feeding. Now slowly I get myself back. Had energy and healthy issues. Always wanted to make my balcony ready and pretty. On the next weekend it will have warm Temperatur. So ….. I will do my work outside. 😊 thank you.

    Showing the soil or fertilizer would be nice. Or a link. To know what to look for. I bought last year a cheaper one. That was very good too. … sorry. Wrong text. I meant …. It was NOT very good.

      The small bags with seed starting mix are from Dr Soil. I often a buy a peat-free soil from Lidl that I mix with perlite and compost. I think you can find cheap, good quality soil, but you have to try many brands until you find what works for you. I'll make sure to show the bags in the future.

    Very good video. I will try the paper towel method. 👍🏻 please please keep the words to read a bit longer. The writing is small it could be a bit larger. Watching this on handy 📱 is sometime hard to read. And I have to understand and translate in my head. And already the next writing is already there. I paused and rewind few times. Not a big deal but just a few seconds longer would be nice. 😊 The problem is I also look at the plants while reading to see what you are talking about. 13:09 example for many fast text to read.

    I also try to grow tomatoes from seeds. But in this boxes I had mold. Although it was near the window. Also i have no greenhouse. To keep warm. And right now we still could have low temperature. So heating daytime and colder at night …. The seeds didn’t grow very well. Also eggplant and zucchini and cucumber.

      I read that a heat mat is good for starting tomatoes, peppers and eggplants. I've never used one, but I have heated floors and I think that helps when it's colder. Now that mine are bigger, I keep them outside during the day and bring them back inside at night. I also sowed zucchini outside today, but I'll have to bring them inside if it gets cold again.

    I know who maybe inspired you for your channel name. And I can’t believe you have 31 subs. Now you have 32🎉 Although I have a garden. But it’s just for rent, I can’t remove the backyard and build something for the vegetable and fruit. So I do my best to grow tomatoes in pots near the house. And other things in the balcony. Great inspiration. Thank you. Jana 🇩🇪

    Did you know that peppers are perennials and you can overwinter or even grow them inside? Peppers, and especially chili peppers, grow very slowly and if you have a short warm period they might not mature before the frost comes. I move my peppers inside in late autumn. To avoid pests, I change the potting soil, trim the branches and roots, and remove the leaves. Then I keep them inside near a window and water them when the soil dries. They start to grow new leaves very fast and my snack pepper has even started to produce flowers. I want it to grow bigger so I remove the flowers, but you can even grow peppers inside. You just have to hand pollinate them. Once spring comes and the last frost date passes, I move them outside and let them flower. The jalapeno pepper that I kept inside last winter produced more fruits in the second year than in the first.
