Alt: Photo of young green cherry tomatoes on a tomato plant on a balcony. The photo mostly shows green tomato plant foliage. There are some yellow tomato flowers in the top left corner of the frame.
A young community dedicated to balcony gardening.
Show off that vertical veggie garden 35 stories high. Or that bucket of potatoes you're proud of. Perhaps some fall mums that have been catching your eye through the sliding door into your living room. Any and all balcony gardens are welcome! Come and show your's off because we love to see it. :)
We also welcome ideas, tips, and items which have helped you in your balcony gardening journey. No balcony? Feel free to join in with your container garden with limited space too!

FYI Tomato flowers are cleistogamous and are 95%+ self-pollinating. So pollen on tomato flowers doesn't actually need to be transfered between flowers. The flowers just need to be shaken up a bit to get the pollen to drop from the anther to the pistil.
So take something that vibrates like a electric toothbrush, massager, or other personal devices (wink, wink) and shake the hell out of the flowers.
TIL! Thank you kind gardener.
