Loved it... Though in my country we never wash onions immediately after harvest. We sun dry the onions with peels. And then remove the soil on the surface. This ensures their long age. And whenever we need to use them.. We wash them. 🙃💗
I love container gardening, it’s so satisfying to pick literally the fruits of your labor lol. As for the onions I use deep pots and I add three buds per pot, good potting soil with pebbles at the bottom for drainage. Great garden!!!!
I grow tomatoes and peppers on my tiny Swedish balcony, and I’m so inspired by your set up! So many beautiful healthy plants in a small balcony space. Wow!
We use our chillies to make - chutney/pickle, dried chilli, chilli powder, sauce/paste, sometimes if they aren’t so hot we stuff them with mince and fry them.
Amazing, I’m so happy you said “London” as i always see great harvests from YTubers in countries where the sun and heat is almost always present. I have chilli peppers and wild strawberries growing, still young but you give me hope! 🤞
Wonderful Balcony Garden👍 If you really want to grow huge onions, buy seeds and sprinkle them in a small cup or I use the mushroom container I recycle from the grocery store. When they grow to about 6-8 inches high. Separate them. They are tough plants and can easily be separated. Then plant them in your planter. I guarantee you’ll get twice the size of what you harvested from growing sets. Its cheaper too😉👌🏼 Happy gardening!
Amazing hobby, lovely. You can finely chop the chillis and slowly cook them together with lots of finely chopped garlic and onions. You can use vegetable oil. Cook over low fire until they are all nice and mushy. Season to taste. Can use them as topping for steamed dumplings together with toasted garlic plus lime juice and soy sauce. Yumm
Here's my tip.. Onions actually don't grow under the soil.they grow on top of it. So when you plant the seedlings only plant the roots, dont plant the bulb under the soil. They might lean over but it's fine.
I remember you said you fertilize every 2 weeks from the other videos. It's great for tomatoes but it's too much for onions as they'll be growing more big green tops rather than the bulb. Also harvest when the soil and tops are completely dry so it doesn't rot in storage. My fav tomatoes are Green Zebra, Marvel Striped and Beefsteak, I'm planning to grow some capsicum and chocolate reapers on my balcony :D
Lovely garden lady, beautiful garden and sweet harvest! What a great job you are doing in encouraging folks to grow food in whatever size space we have.🙂 I'm a Central Texas gardener. I think the red pepper you tried was a fully ripe jalapeno. You can eat them green or red. The hotter and dryer the weather the hotter the jalapenos on the plant. Two recipes you might look up are Armadillo Eggs and Cowboy Candy.🙂 On the onions...you can grow them to a nice size in a pot. Don't crowd them or thin them out by eating smaller ones through the growing season. Also give them the sunnies spot in your beautiful garden. Onions like it hot. Wishing you a super gardening year!🙂
I had small onions last year. When I tried to find out why, I discovered there are different onions for northern states and southern. I'm in Pennsylvania and should grow "long day" type. It's about hours of daylight. Definitely google it. Your tomatoes look beautiful! I grew ancho pablano peppers last year and WOW! Loaded plants. I think that's normal for this pepper and it's pretty mild with a little heat. Really nice pepper. My husband dries a lot of the hot peppers and turns them into powder. Garlic is easy, I grow it every year.
Wow you sound like you have an amazing garden! I’ll have to look into growing these specific types of onions. Thanks for the tip! I also might look into garlic as that would be a great crop to grow since I cook with it almost every day! 😊
@@AllAboutAnika Plus garlic is medicinal. Anti viral for one. I've been eating garlic toast with a fried egg on top for breakfast because of this virus going around.
My neighbour taught me to brush the soil away from the bulb (once it starts to bulb) not to burry them all the way. He also said to put them in a tiny trench but from what I learned once you water the trench falls so it’s kind of messy to keep up with. You can also try to save those tiny onions and plant them next year!
Not sure on the weight, but you can grow them through to the 2nd year, cut off the flower stalk and they may surprise you how large they get. I had a bunch of missed onions (tiny ones) that later tried to flower and then grew much larger than other onions I have grown.
A tip for your peppers you can over winter them and they will grow back the next year and give you more peppers then the first year. I have serval that are 3 years plus. I’m not for sure how cold the uk gets but you can bring them in if roots will freeze. But you do want them to get cold enough to kill the leaves. Then in spring after they start regrowing just clip off last years dead branches.
Loosen the soil around the onions during growth. This will allow room for onions to expand. Also hang onions and allow them to dry before rinsing and cutting off tops
I love it!!! As for the size only do one row in that planter and see if you get bigger onions they need room to widen. Also FYI if you leave the outer papery skin on the onion and just brush off the dirt and then let it dry (look up onion curing) they will last a lot longer. as soon as you rip the outer layer off they won't last as long.
@@AllAboutAnika Whole. Just pop them in a freezer bag and done. Easy. I did it last summer and forgot they where in there until this spring. Started usung them in dishes like normal. 🙂
Should grow celantro, all those tomatoes puree with some of those peppers and onions make spicy tomato sauce freeze in sandwich bags. Great for pasta, soup, beans, red rice.. and hot sauce
Of course this is late but first someone mentioned you have to figure out whether you need long day or short day onions for your area they need a lot of sunlight hours per day. Also don’t plant so thickly as they are fighting for food and resources then you should get much larger onions. I’m also growing onions this year some from Seed and some from small onion starts. Not sure which you did but I suggest seeds because starts don’t always bulb up since they are a biennial crop, awesome Tomatoe crop. How fun!
Great video :) my brother lives in apartment and I want to prepare for him starter "pack" for balcony garden, so he can eat his own fresh vegetables. My advice regarding to onions - they need more space to grow them bigger - I mean space between them, as they are planted too densely..you can have space between them approx. as big as golf ball I think, so they have enough space :) when do you want to plant more densely, I recommend to you plant leeks instead of onions for a bigger harvest
I have a dehydrator so I would suggest dehydrating some of your produce so that in the winter when things aren’t growing you can have fresh produce still. I make some dried tomatoes and then put the, in oil, I also make some into powder to add to things that I am cooking or to make tomato paste. The chillies you can do the same with. Also onions etc. I also make dinner packs with the dehydrated veggies 😊. Well done. This is very inspiring
Make Jalapeno poppers, slice the peppers down the middle clean out the seeds and guts, stuff them with a mixture cream cheese and shredded cheddar cheese, then wrap them in bacon and bake till the bacon gets crispy, take to a party everyone will love them. But careful they are gonna want you to make them again and again..
Chili pepper recipes; stuff them w/ ground beef/ground pork w/onions & cheese..to taste sugar and ground pepper..then coat it w/eggs and breadcrumps..then fry..and it's super good sharing them w/friends👌
@@AllAboutAnika I'm growing tomatoes, dwarf french beans, some strawberries, a few chilli plants and bought a lemon 🍋 tree. Also have a few marigold and petunias
Heheehe....You are so adorable!!! I laughed out loud when you tried that really hot chili. You reacted like I do to too spicy peppers or chili's....Lol...I found you thru looking up growing harvests on your balcony. I have a big deck so I'm excited to start this spring. Thank you for your video's. I am going to watch as many as possible to catch up. I just found you and subscribed.
I learned from therusticgarden that bury only the roots of the onion transplants so the onion bulb will grow above ground giving it plenty space to grow big. Nonetheless, awesome harvest and impressive garden.
Love these videos from you. Although we can google it , I think it would be helpful if you explained When you planted them & when you harvested them (dates). Overall though I love your video😊
Thanks so much for you kind words 😊 really means the world to me that you are enjoying my videos! Great idea. I will do a timeline video in the coming months when I start growing again!
How many kilos of tomatoes do you think I will grow this year?
Haha good guess
Not horribly off but yeah I got way more than just 1 kilo

Loved it... Though in my country we never wash onions immediately after harvest. We sun dry the onions with peels. And then remove the soil on the surface. This ensures their long age. And whenever we need to use them.. We wash them. 🙃💗
Ohhhh I’ve learned something new today. Thanks for sharing 😊
Yes it's like potatoes you never wash them you let them dry. They store better with some soil on them.
Well unless you plan to use them right away ... i pulled my onions as I needed them to cook w/ so I washed and then just chopped them up for dinner.
Same
For the onions, put less in the pot and they will grow bigger. They’re small because they didn’t have room to grow. Thanks for sharing your garden.
Thanks for the tip and thanks for watching 😄

Hi Anika, I freeze excess chillies. They freeze well and ideal if you generally use them in cooked dishes or blended salsa/chutney. Love your garden ❤
Great idea! Something for me to try this year! Thank you 😊

You can freeze chilies and tomato and use in curry chilli soups stews etc excellent job
Thanks for the suggestions and thanks for watching 😊 this year I will freeze more things!
If you store rice, you can throw in several dried chili in there and it’ll prevent bugs in your rice 🎉

You can keep the onion leafs dry them out put them in a blender and you got onion salt or you can eat the green freshly picked leafs or fry them
Thanks for watching and sharing your tip
Dice up some tomatoes and chilies, a pinch of salt and you have some homemade salsa!! ❤️💚

Thanks for the tip. It might get too cold in the UK to do this but I think I might try it this winter!
You could get a dehydrator and dry some of your veg then grind it down to different spices and powders. Good luck 😉
Great suggestion. I never thought of that! I’ll look into it. Thanks for watching 😀
You can make salsa, freeze it or ice cube it.
Ohhhhh great tip! I will try that this year!
wow! so satisfying to watch 😌

You can prepare chilli oil, chilli sauce, chilli powder after sun drying them and add it to your dishes.
Thanks for the tip!
Woww... you inspired me to grow vegetables 🌶 in my balcony... I think this is the right time to start growing vegetables in London.
Yay! So glad I could inspire you! It's is totally possible to grow vegetables on a balcony garden!
Maybe you can dry your peppers/chillies, if really dry you can put them in a blender. So you always have spicy powder to put in your food!!
Great idea!
Wow so colourful! Enjoy the veggies 🍅

In chili’s you can make it chili garlic sauce or just chili sauce it self.
Great suggestion. Do you have any recipes?
I'm totally interested in a step by step cause I have never been able to keep any plant alive at home much less build a garden in my tiny space/area
