Greeting!
I´m Alexzander (called Gander). I´m soon 26 and currently studying history at Lunds university in south of Sweden. I live in a student flat so sadly I have no space to grow really heavy/ space taking crops, but since I come from a long line of farmers I just can can not suppress the urge to grow plant now when spring is here!
I´m mostly growing chilies since they are good to have in pots, but I also have some tomatoes, herbs and even trying to grow a lemon tree from seed, it´s currently about 14 months old and still living, surprisingly.
When I grow up and get a place of my own, I know that I´m gonna grow a lot of plants, probably not so I can be self sufficient, but at least growing something!
Now for some questions!
First one) I´ve heard different opinions about putting chilies in a little large pot (steadily increasing the pots size). Since we don´t have that long of a growing season here in Sweden i wanna be able to get at least some fruits from them, and that steadily increasing the pot size increases the plants flower production. I´m gonna do an experiment with that this season, so if you are interested I can make some update about that! But I still wanna hear your experience with this!
Second one) Do you have some tips for crops to grow in a very small space. I only have a small space on my stair leading up to my apartment. I´ve seen Marks videos about this, but there can never be to many tips!
Sorry for a long text!
