Hi!
I've started growing vegetables on my balcony1! I've got some tomato plants, but I'm not sure what else I should try to grow2.
Have you got any experience with growing vegetables? What's the best way to look after them3?
Would you like to come round next weekend and see my little garden4?
Best wishes,
Robin
