Balcony box

Planter box · 100 × 40 cm · 3 crops

100 × 40 cm is not much — enough for radishes, chives and thyme all the same. Not for lettuce: on its own it would need more room than the whole box has.

How the year looks

Calculated, not drawn. One patch is used twice — which is the whole point.

Zürich serves as the reference: USDA zone 8a, last frost around week 17, first frost around week 43. Take the bed over and everything is recalculated with your frost dates.
