Article number: VMB-06

Days to germinate: Overall days to germinate: Most seeds in this collection germinate in around 5–14 days, with radish often sprouting fastest in 3–7 days and parsley taking longest at around 14–28 days. For best results, sow into moist seed compost and keep warm until seedlings appear.

Days to maturity: Quick crops such as rocket and radish can be harvested in around 21–30 days, while herbs, leafy greens, beans, peas and onions usually mature in around 50–75 days. Tomatoes are the latest crop and are generally harvested in summer, around 60–90+ days depending on sowing time, warmth and growing conditions.

Hardiness and longevity: A spring-sown balcony collection with both tender summer crops and cooler-tolerant greens. Most varieties are grown as annuals for one season, while chard and Welsh onion can provide longer harvests when picked regularly. Keep tender crops such as tomatoes, beans and basil protected from cold nights.

Height: Plants in this collection vary from low-growing salad crops to taller climbing and fruiting crops. Radish and rocket stay compact at around 10–30 cm, herbs and leafy greens usually reach 20–60 cm, dwarf French beans grow to around 40–60 cm, peas may reach 120–150 cm with support, and cherry tomatoes can reach around 150–250 cm when staked.

Spread: Approx. 10–60 cm, depending on crop. Tomatoes, beans and chard need the most space; peas can be grown vertically to save room.

Sunlight: Full Sun

GROWING INSTRUCTIONS

Sow in spring for a productive balcony kitchen garden of tomatoes, beans, peas, leafy greens, herbs, radishes and rocket. Choose a sunny position with at least 6 hours of direct sun per day, such as a balcony, patio or terrace. Use good-quality seed compost for sowing, then transplant seedlings into rich, well-drained potting compost once they are large enough to handle.

Keep the compost evenly moist, especially during warm weather, as containers can dry out quickly. Avoid letting pots dry out completely, but do not leave them waterlogged. Tomatoes, beans and chard benefit from regular feeding once established, and tomatoes should be given a tomato feed once flowering begins.

Tomatoes need large pots, ideally around 20–30L per plant, and should be supported with stakes or cages. Peas also need support, such as a small trellis, sticks or netting. Dwarf French beans, chard, basil, parsley and Welsh onion can be grown in medium pots or troughs. Radish and rocket grow well in shallower containers and are ideal for quick harvests.

Radish and rocket are usually the first crops ready to pick. Herbs and leafy greens can be harvested gradually as needed by taking a few leaves at a time. Beans, peas and tomatoes will crop later in the season with regular watering, feeding and sun. This collection is suitable for beginners, although tomatoes and peas need a little extra care because they require larger pots and support.
