Neighbourly guidance to grow salad, herbs & calm. One seed at a time

12 Fruits and vegetables that you can grow in containers
Don’t have a big garden? No worries. With a few good pots, a bit of compost, and some sunshine, you can grow a mini harvest right on your balcony, patio, or even your doorstep. Container gardening is perfect for beginners, busy folks, or anyone who likes their herbs and veggies within arm’s reach of the kettle. Here are 12 fruits and veg that absolutely love life in containers.
Yummy Salads!
You know that feeling when you bite into a crisp salad and think, “Wow, this actually tastes like something?” That, my friend, is what happens when your salad doesn’t come in a plastic bag. It comes from your garden, your balcony, or even your windowsill.
And the best part? You don’t need to be a pro gardener, have loads of space, or spend a fortune. Just a few seeds, a bit of soil, and some love. Let me show you how I grow my own salads and how you can too.


Hi! I’m Maya. I’m glad you’re here!
If we were neighbours, I’d be the one leaning over the fence with an extra tray of lettuce seedlings and a thermos of coffee, ready to chat soil, slugs, and the simple joy of watching a seed sprout. Welcome to my little patch of the internet where I help gardeners turn their tiny plots (or pots!) into abundant, calming gardens.
