First, I want to say I’m jealous of your yard. While I like the townhouse we’re renting w/the ocean view, I miss having a yard.
But I’m making do. On my balcony I’ve managed to squeeze in a lot of plants (many dwarf). I’ve got:
one grape tomato producing about 7 tomatoes
two different blueberry bushes bearing fruit
a dwarf meyer lemon – only one lemon, but lots of buds
himrod grapes growing in a big tub that actually has 5 bunches
my cabernet grape is too young to produce
a dwarf nectarine bearing 7 fruit
a dwarf peach w/some buds
a bears lime w/one lime, but some buds.
a dwarf red apple that doesn’t like the pot and doesn’t want to produce yet (though not in season, I don’t think, but flowering)
an olive plant, but quite nascient. I don’t expect anything for quite a while.
And some herbs: rosemary, oregano, lemon thyme and lavendar.
I love sugar snap peas and green beens. That’s so cool that you can just go to your yard and grab them for dinner. Wish I could grow them. I just don’t have the space. I’m at capacity on my balcony 🙁 I have not had much luck w/peppers.
I’d like to try to get a fig, but those like being in the ground.
