Hit 50 pounds of tomatoes from my 4x4 balcony patch this summer
I've been growing veggies on my balcony for about 8 years now. Started with a single pot of cherry tomatoes back when I lived in a tiny apartment. This year I expanded to a 4x4 foot patch with two raised beds. I kept a tally on my phone every time I picked something. By mid-September I passed 50 pounds of tomatoes. That doesn't count the peppers and basil. I remember when my first season gave me maybe 3 pounds total. Never would have believed I could get that much from a balcony. Has anyone else been surprised by how much their small space actually produces?

That 50 pounds is wild, it's crazy how a small spot can blow up like that." It makes me think about how we often underestimate what we can get out of limited space, not just with plants but with a lot of things in life.
