The best option for growing vegetables and fruits is a balcony on the east side.

This way, you will have enough sun to grow flowering plants, vegetables and fruits.

At the same time, you will be able to avoid the intense midday heat for the plants.

You can grow leafy vegetables on the balcony: chard, lettuce, cabbage, and broccoli.

How to make a garden on your balcony

If your balcony is located on the east side, you are in luck.

Plants will receive harmony between sun and shade.

Therefore, choose plants that like moderate sun to grow.

In addition, you can grow plants that prefer shade on the balcony.

In this case, place the pot with the plant closer to the building.
