We have often told you about the garden on the balcony. But who has neither a vegetable garden, nor a terrace or even a garden, must really give up the pleasure of growing at least some of their own food?
We have often told you aboutvegetable garden on the balcony. But who has neither a vegetable garden, nor a terrace or even a garden, must really give up the pleasure of growing at least some of their own food?
In reality this is not the case. In fact, with some stratagem we can create a small vegetable garden even within the walls of the house, or in the office. Of course, it won't be exactly like taking care of a real vegetable garden and this activity will not reward us with the most abundant of crops, but growing some aromatic plants and some vegetables will still be a pleasure.
The important thing is to have an area of the house that is sufficiently illuminated. We choose the brightest room to place our seedlings. When we can we open the windows to let the air circulate. And during the summer, if the structure of our house allows it, we move some pots on the windowsill: basil, sage and chillies will make their fantastic figure by replacing the classic flowers.
