What can I realistically grow in containers or on a balcony?
The direct answer
Start with a small number of containers, choose a regional baseline, and plan around exposure and watering before adding more crops or flowers.
The trade-off to keep visible
Containers make a small space flexible, but they dry out and cool down differently from ground soil. The same plant can need a different plan in a windy, exposed or frost-prone position.
Next practical action
Open the planner with Containers selected and save only the current-month jobs you can keep watered and protected.
