The lettuce is bolting, it means its receiving too much sun and too hot. Lettuce like cool and partly shaded area. The mulberry is not suitable to grow in containers, mulberry will grow into a hugeee tree and its not a bush. The leaves on your eggplants indicating lack of nutrients. Cucumbers, Eggplants, tomatoes, capsicum, chillies are very heavy feeders so it needs to be fed every 2 weeks especially when it's planted so crowded and so close to eachother like that, they will fight for food. I feed my fruiting plants with fish emulsion, seaweed extract and concentrated chicken poop pellets.
oh wow thank you for such an elaborate advise!!! i have since moved my mulberry out and started feeding my plants twice a week now! i wl be shopping for fish emulsion now then. i just uploaded a new garden update if you would like to check it out 🤗
Great tips. I think you need more soil for tomatoes and mulberry. Too hot for lettuce. Try companion plants for tomatoes an cucumbers like basil to attract pollinators. Gardening is all an experiment and learning experience. It takes years but each year gets better. Keep trying. It looks beautiful and that in itself is something to be proud of
Compost in place helps too
Really constructive comment. Thanks for your sharing❤
Tip - You probably don't have pollinators where you are! You can try attracting them OR pollinate them yourself! Hope that helps! Also Kang Kong is a good Vegetable, it's like spinach! :D
yesss i have been trying to pollinate them myself with a makeup brush and its kinda working i think! thanks for the tip!! really appreciate it 🤗🤗
Wow.... I love your garden 😍... everything vegetables growing well
thank you for your kind words! i have not been updating much but hopefully i will finish editing my next video soon🤗
Love how honest you are....So true. At times you plant something and have these expectations but they turn into something totally weird and unexpected! ...ha ha ha Keep going....as your balcony looks awesome apart from providing some food!

I think with the veg that drys you could put a bag around it to help from afternoon sun dry air.

Hello i am from india🇮🇳.........i think The cucumbers dry due to not being pollinated......try hand pollination if that works......happy gardening 👍🏻✨☺️
yes exactly! i started hand pollinating and its working out great. thanks for the tip!!
I think you should harvest kale leaf, i keep harvesting twice a week bcos they grow very fast
yes kale is great! i do have 4 kale plants that gives me enough leaves for the week
As for the cucumbers, have you tried mulching the soil for water retention? I know they are gluttens for water. 😅
i did that before and it kinda disappeared and i just havent added more. maybe i should do that soon 😅😅 thanks for the helpful advice!! they are indeed very thirsty
Oh and my lettuce is leggy too I think it's not getting enough sun but I am going to give what you did grow the seeds might help
unfortunately i didnt manage to harvest those seeds and the plant died on me during rainy season🥲 hopefully you have better luck!
Its not leggy as in lacking sun, it was bolting meaning shifting to flower and seeds production thus the leaves turn bitter, this is often due to hot weather.
Lovely
Nice gardern,kankun is very healthy food.it is good for specialy for feeding mothers.kankun dewal is fantastic.you will try.
thank you. yes i have been enjoying my kangkung harvests, so happy to have them in the garden!🤗
You should also plant some flowers that will attract pollinators, bees etc to help your veggies
that is a great advice! i will do that next 👍 thank you🤗🤗
Hi, fellow apartment balcony gardener in jakarta here
You can try hydroponic gardening for your edible veggies like kangkung/pakcou/leek. It works wonderfully in my balcony, and its easier to maintain too. Soil gardening took waaay too long imo haha
Also, try planting flowers to call pollinators in!
Hi friend!! nice to know im not alone haha. i did try hydroponic system at first but i was not disciplined with the nutrient balancing and topping up the water🙈🙈🙈
i really should plant pollinators tho, just bought the seeds but havent gotten round to sow them yet
happy gardening!
You grow so well in yout balcony
thank you!! i try my best 🤗
How do use ginseng lava? Watching from Australia 🇦🇺
i usually just stir fry it with garlic like the usual asian greens. its deliciousss! i hope you could try it someday🤗
That lettuce looks like wild lettuce. In the UK it is tinctured and used as a natural painkiller. But if you bought the seed I could be wrong.
yea it does look wild ay. sadly i did buy the seeds so i guess its just bolting
Love your balcony!
thank you!!
Gardening is an ongoing learning experience - you never stop learning new things. Hope you keep it up as that looks lovely. Re the lettuce - its a cool season plant - that lettuce had bolted and would taste horrible. They don't like heat or too much sun. Have you got a less hot, much more shady spot for lettuce? And hand pollinating for the cucumber - same for zucchini and other members of the squash family, otherwise the fruit wither. If you can find the 'patio' size plants they are the best for small areas - like normal eggplants, broccoli can be huge plants. If you like green beans, dwarf beans are also great for small spaces as they take up next to no space and you can plant them really closely
o yes, sooo much to learn everyday. nature is just beautiful!!
i might try to go it indoors next time. and i have yet to try growing any beans so that is definitely high on the to do list!!
thanks for your helpful notes, really appreciate it🤗
Where did you get the herb boxes for your balcony ledge
i got them here:

hope this helps!
U have to hand pollinate ....coz u dont have bees there to do it for......the watermelon
i finally figured that out after the whole plant just died on me recently. o wells, next season! thanks for the advice🤗🤗
Hi! How big are the pots, if i may ask?
hi there! it is L 50 x W 23.5 x H 22.5cm. hope that helps 🤗
@@CharinsChang yes thank you very much! I just started my own little balcony garden project so every information helps me a lot.
Hope you are well and grow some vegetables in this year too!
Pull up a video on it
will do next time! ive been hand pollinating my tomatoes and it works wonders
Do your balcony have a roof, dear?
yes it does, i live in the middle levels so there are balconies above me too
I think cabbage needs a big pot bot sure
yup definitely! I dont have the luxury of space for a big pot tho, just gotta make do for now haha
After gardening in my balcony for almost 17 years now, here is what I have learnt and I see your are making similar mistakes as I did.
You have too many plants in those small planters, for example 1-2 eggplants in a container is more than enough. Same goes for most plants that are going to produce fruit. You should harvest cucumbers or any vegetables when they have reached a decent size, otherwise the plants start to think it's time to make seeds. It won't produce much more after that. Instead of trying to grow eggplants, try growing Green leafy vegetables, you would be able to harvest your daily supply from your pots. as you can see your kale is doing way better. You can keep harvesting the outer kale leaves, they will become stronger as they grow and can stand on their own. For plants with deeper roots you need at least 12 inches deep pot and lots of compost. I have tried cucumber, eggplant, cabbage, pumpkin, Brussel sprouts, broccoli, etc in pots, they didn't do well at all. However, the following plants gave me a decent harvest. Spinach, Malabar spinach, onion, garlic, chilli, tomato, kale, lettuce, basil, mustard, strawberry, nasturtiums, french beans, string beans, chard, blackberry. I am trying grapes, raspberry, black red and white currant now.
wow thanks for all the tips! i did notice green leafy vegs does wayyy better. i have since moved to a house with a backyard garden. you can check out the new garden in my recent videos! 🤗
I think the problem you are having is your flowers are not propergating properly because u live in a balcony. Try buying self propergating hybrid seeds next time. Or get flowering plants that attract bees. Good luck!
yes exactly, thanks for the tip!! i actually did get those seeds but have yet to plant them 🙈🙈 maybe you’ll see those in future videos
You can hand pollinate using a dry paint brush. Do not pollinate cucumber with watermelon 😅.
5:45 oh yikes might be spider mites
yuppp definitely is sighsss

Hi. Я думаю, что растениям не хватает нужного объема грунта, что бы развиваться правильно. Вы сажаете слишком много растений на один горшок. Для 1 растения помидора нужно от 5-8 литров. Для одного растения огурца нужно 10 литров. Так же это должны быть нужные сорта семян, именно для выращивания дома. Растению не хватает места что бы вырастить под землёй раскидистые корни, и получить достаточно питания.
Нужен хороший грунт составленный из Биогумуса /Перлита/ Вермикулита / не кислого Торфа . Именно по этому растения могут отбрасывать цветения и не завязывать плоды овощей. Так же вносить ежемесячно подкорми и биологические удобрения. Используйте советы. Урожай будет огромным и вкусным. Удачи
