When space is tight

Even if your outdoor area is small, as long as you utilise it efficiently there’s still lots you can grow. The sheltered environment offered by a balcony means it’s the perfect growing space. There’s usually plenty of wall area for slotting in vertical planters or trellis to provide support for young plants. Courtyards and patios generally offer more space for growing things than a balcony or terrace, but shade can be an issue if you’re overlooked. Just remember to choose the sunniest and most sheltered spot possible for your plants.
