Vegetable List

I have been working on the list of the vegetable and herbs that I want to plant. I am going to plant the veggies most commonly eaten in our house.
First is the list of items I plan on doing in containers on our balcony.

Basil
Parsley
Chives
Mint
Dill
Strawberries
Lettuce

In the garden I plan on planting the following list:

Tomatoes
Peppers
Carrots
Beans
Radishes
Onions
Cucumber
Echinacea
Chamomile
Calendula

I may decide on a few more yet but this is the items I am currently focusing on.
As I do more planning things may change and be refined but for now this is it.

City Gardening

I live in the city and in apartment but wanted to be able to plant and grow my own vegetables. So I have purchased an allotment garden. It doesn't open till May 1st but in the mean time I am drawing out my plans and purchasing some items. I have started buying now so the cost is spread out more over a longer period of time. It's easier on the budget that way. I want to grow my own vegetables because it will cost less in the long run and it will also be healthier for my family.
I have started by writing down a list of vegetables commonly eaten by my family. I also plan on growing some medicinal plants along with the vegetables. And some herbs which I will grow on our balcony. It gets lots of sun so it seems like a good place to use. It will be helpful to have a diary of what I try so I can learn from my mistakes and remember my success. This will help in the planting of future gardens.
