Plants are pleasant. Growing ones own is good. Problem is that they require light and space to grow. I considered setting up a hydroponics system or - even better - aquaponics, but was informed in no uncertain terms that Not In This Flat. Luckily a large (for a flat), southern facing balcony came to the rescue. So I got me some balcony boxes to plant stuff in. I find the idea of self-sufficiency very alluring, so I want to be able to grow as much of my own veg as possible.
