Planning your garden to grow your food 💚

I'm sharing with you in this video some useful tips to start planning your urban garden to grow your own food in Spring & Summer :
- Why is it better to start from seeds?
- When is the right time to start your seedlings?
- The difference between heirloom & hybrid seeds (There is a huge difference, I tried to give you here the main takeouts but it would deserve a whole hour to be fully precise!)
- What are the best heirloom varieties for pots & containers?
---------------------------
My name is Patrick, The Frenchie Gardener, I’m an urban gardener, certified of Permaculture, based in Berlin. I’m growing on my balcony organic seasonal vegetables & fruits, free of pesticides & reusing as much resources around me to nourish my soil. I waited 36 years to plant my first seed, I had no gardening knowledge and my goal is to show you that we can all grow a lot in containers even on small urban spaces. We all have a green thumb, we simply need to put into practice. Let’s welcome back Nature into our cities and our lives, to recreate this essential connection with food, seasons & ecosystems.

I have a garden and a balcony that I haven't used for gardening in 6 years. I feel ashamed of wasting the opportunity. Your videos inspire me to start now and stay committed. Thanks.

How about the insects that can easily enter your home, due to the proximity of your balcony-garden? And your accent made me subscribe :).

[@thefrenchiegardener]

Haha thank you! Actually apart ladybirds, no insects truly enter inside, expect in summer when I let the window open, but guess this happens everywhere

My balcony is only 4m by 1.2m... I always stare at that blank space.. not knowing what food to grow 🤣
