Urban Garden Setup

lonelylib81 · January 30, 2013

12 tomato plants, 2 cucumber plants, 1 eggplant and a bunch of growing seedlings all crammed on this small patio.

Wasn't even thinking about expanding the size while I did just that. Very relaxing hobby. Almost as good as my medications.

Question: Is it normal for a German Queen tomato to grow larger than a softball?

Nice job maximizing your space. Are you sure you can't get any more plants in?

No clue on the German Queen. Maybe repost that question in the general forum.

Nice set up, 81.

that's a great way to create an urban garden! How much sun does your patio get? i have a friend in Texas living in an apartment and she has a balcony which she says doesn't get enough sun for gardens, but I think she could.

I live in southwest florida and get full on sun. Planning to move to pac northwest with girlfriend in a year, though. Will have to grow inside

I have room for more but I am in the middle of a fight with my condo managers over it. I'm not budging.

I can get more plants out there. At least 8 more. But I'm in the middle of a fight with my property manager over tomato plants. I guess they are too green for her taste.

Those plants look great. Best of luck with the property manager.

How many hours a day of sun? These plants are shaded in the photo, so I assume you ahve partial sun.
