Thyme is the other herb I have too, though its not doing quite as well as the rosemary and sage. I've thought about chillies (mainly because I can't buy just one or two when I need them, they're only sold in bulk here) but tomatoes are definitely my priority

my Thyme wouldn't grow well, was very thinly. about the chillies: just use the seeds you get from a chillie you buy, I've never had issues with that... no need to buy seeds. bonus: you know exactly what level of spice and what taste you'll get from your plant

depending on where you buy chilies from, that could be true or totally wrong. often times on smaller farms lots of different varieties are grown together, and so saving seed is not really an option as you can get some really strange hybrid peppers.


if your pepper comes from a giant field of identical peppers, then the seeds will be more or less the same.

Any advice for gardening on a balcony? — I'm just starting out learning some basic gardening on my small balcony I've got a couple of tomato plants, which are doing quite well, and some herbs which are a mixed bag. Anyone got any advice for growing stuff in such small spaces?
