Mint,alovera, lemon grass,Tulsi,Van Tulsi, malabar spinach r doing great in my small space extension garden on grill 😊 With moringa for leaves I grow pumpkin for leaves & flowers as well.
Really a good and simple to start list, Ceylon spinach can be started from seeds, mine seed like crazy, chillies are the best things to grow, that one plant that kept my hopes up when I was struggling to keep any plant alive🙈 and getting even a chilly from the plant is worth it.
Haha yes they self seed and grow without care, I have volunteers in many pots too but asking a new gardener to start it with such tiny seeds would be trouble !! Hence I stuck to ready plants that one can pick up from the local nursery , some degree of success and satisfaction is ensured :)
Although it is winter here I enjoy learning many ways of gardening and tips from around the world. Thank you for bringing some sunshine into this snowy day!
Hello mam. This is my the most favourite video in 2020. U always explain your videos very clearly and anyone who is beginner in gardening could keep hope to pursue gardening hobby. Thanks a lot for making this video.
Happy to see your garden🤗in my garden Iam growing different types of leafy vegetables. Some capsicum plants chill plants etc they are growing slowly slowly Iam very happy to see my growing plants in my balcony and my kitchen windows. Every day Iam learning something new about plants it’s nice experience for me and Iam getting good compost from my wet waste 👌Thankyou so much to giving inspiration 👍🏻
Good to know you are enjoying , that is important , even if you dont succeed initially there is a lot to learn and enjoy . Happy to know I have inspired you , thank you :)
From where we can find ceylon spinach , or thr seeds ? they can be grown with seeds ? flowers are looking beautiful . I have space but very less sunlight so I m growing leafy vegitable only . and this one us looking beautiful
Good morning my friend. Nice to hear your voice. Excellent choices to inspire others to grow. Did I see you growing a moringa tree in your living room? Take care, namaste.
Hello Lark !! Lol no that was a branch that I had pruned off to get in the leaves and to keep the tree at arms length , just kept it there on the sofa to get a picture :)
Thanks , long time !! A local nursery purchased tomato plant would be ok , not from seed though , transplants , issues and pests are enough to deter new gardener even though a tomato is what every one wants to start with lol :) . How is your garden doing ?
@@mumbaibalconygardenerhobbies restarted my garden after two years, harvested 2 small sweet corn's, bought lemon, trying mango in a container, 3 hibiscus plants and some leafy vegetables, as Google plus is closed not sure on how to share the pictures
Thanks for the lovely video. Pl tell what special care has to taken for growing corriander leaves. Or you can post a video on how to grow corriander. Thanks.
My entire garden has been non soil ever since I started . I dont see why turmeric should not grow . I haven't grown it though due to space and sun constraints.
I need your help. I started methi and coriander in my pit but they keep dying after they reach the height of being a microgreen. I used my kitchen seeds for that. What do I do?
Hi !! I have a detailed coriander growing video , please see it for tips and tricks . 👉Regarding methi , yout problem is water and drainage of your growing medium. Your plants are rotting at soil level in all likelihood , this could be due to above reasons combined with may be inadequate sun. Sow methi in rows sprinkling seeds along the row so that seedlings support each other . Water gently from the sides , not from top , water only when soil is dry , ensure proper drainage by use of sand or perlite or vermiculite .Needs atleast 4 hours direct sun . If using a pot , bottom water in holding tray for best results.
Edibles need direct sun to fall on the leaves . Either you need grow lights or LED lights with high Kalvin and lumen or else grow shade loving or house plants that do really well in indirect bright light . Summer is not for growing any edibles in Mumbai , it is just too hot .
@@mumbaibalconygardenerhobbies oh Okay, thanks so so much for your guidance. Will rectify this right away. Don't want family and neighbours complaining 😀😊
I select 5 easy to grow plants for the vege garden to get harvest through the year for a new gardener for motivation and encouragement in my latest you tube video . These are plants one can pick up from a nursery , hence easy to kick start the gardening bug !! Which 5 plants would you suggest to your friend who wants to grow something for the very first time ? It should be easy and give harvest year round . Let me know in the comments section of the video , do mention the city / state you are growing in so that the suggestions are relevant to gardeners from those locations . My recommendations are for Mumbai and similar weather ( read warm through the year , cooler months from December to February.
Its not easy to grow when you stay in mumbai bcos of the flst size...you are great 👍
Ok I generally don't do this but I'm the first to comment 😂 I think mint , spring onions, ginger , turmeric and lemongrass would be my pick 😁

Hi
Can you make a video on 5 easy winter loving plants that give harvest
We don't really have winters in Mumbai , will try .
Inspirational
Sun Chokes ,Oka , yacon ,potatoes and leek
Very useful video
What to do if I have well lit huge balcony but no sunlight? Which plants you would recommend me to plant in summer in Mumbai?
Edibles need direct sun to fall on the leaves . Either you need grow lights or LED lights with high Kalvin and lumen or else grow shade loving or house plants that do really well in indirect bright light . Summer is not for growing any edibles in Mumbai , it is just too hot .
@@mumbaibalconygardenerhobbies thank you so much, got more clarity.
Nice.
Very informative. I'm trying to make compost with fresh cowdung. Have just added water to it (kept in a bucket. Let's see what happens
Thanks Roopa . After few days that water will have very bad smell , use it to water your plants or to start off regular hot composting .
@@mumbaibalconygardenerhobbies oh Okay, thanks so so much for your guidance. Will rectify this right away. Don't want family and neighbours complaining 😀😊
Nice
