Grow Your Own Veg on a Balcony — Without the Guesswork

Not everyone has a garden. But a sunny balcony, a few containers, and the right crops? That’s all you really need to grow fresh vegetables at home.

The problem most people run into isn’t enthusiasm — it’s the details. Which crops actually work in pots? How big does the container need to be? Will my shady balcony be enough for tomatoes? (Spoiler: probably not.) Getting those decisions wrong wastes money and leads to disappointment, which is exactly why so many people give up after one failed season.

That’s what our Balcony & Container Veg Planner is designed to fix.

What the planner does

It’s a simple interactive tool you can use right here on the page. You tell it three things:

• How much sun your balcony gets (full sun, part sun, or mostly shade)
• What kind of containers you’re working with (pots, grow bags, or railing planters)
• Which crops you’d like to grow

Hit the button and it instantly generates a personalised container plan — telling you the right pot size for each crop, how many plants will fit, and quick care notes so you know what to expect. It also flags whether each crop is actually a good match for your sun conditions, so you’re not setting yourself up to fail.

And if you need to pick up supplies, there’s a built-in shopping list with links to everything on Amazon, so you can go from plan to purchase in minutes.

Who it’s for

The planner is aimed at beginners and balcony gardeners in the USA who want practical, no-nonsense guidance. Whether you’re starting with a single pot of basil or planning a full spread of tomatoes, lettuce, and cucumbers, it gives you a clear starting point without having to trawl through conflicting advice online.

Give it a try below — your balcony harvest might be closer than you think.
