Fruits, vegetables and herbs on the balcony and on the terrace

In hot, dry weather, you need to give your potted vegetables and berries a boost. Thus, they will continue to produce until autumn.

Growing Potted Vegetables Successfully

• Scratch the top of the substrate to aerate it, water and fertilizers will be better absorbed.
• Watering must be daily if the temperatures are high, to avoid water stress responsible for the rise of lettuces and the “black bottom” of tomatoes.
• Operate in the evening to limit evaporation, do not leave excess water in the saucers.

Every ten days, fertilize the tomatoes .

Succeed in growing fruit trees in pots

• Stimulate harvests by applying suitable organic fertilizers, always after watering with clear water .
• Chop the grapes by removing the malformed or damaged grains in the center of the bunches.
• Bag the most beautiful bunches, as well as the apples and pears of the dwarf forms.

Three gestures to harvest more on the balcony

To get more leaves, pinch the stems of the basil and do the same with the mint

Harvest the courgettes as soon as they are 20 cm in length, the plant will produce new fruits more quickly.

Remove stolons from strawberries grown in pots or planters. They will use their energy to produce more.
