Rooftop onions

A couple of days ago I harvested my first onions. I have neither field nor garden so I have to make do with growing vegetable on my roof. Three summers ago I started with a couple of cherry tomato plants. The following summer I increased the number of pots and containers and grew cucumbers, tomatoes, lettuce, beans red and yellow bell peppers, aubergines and strawberries. During that summer we had a homegrown salad every day. After summer I planted winter vegetables which included cauliflowers, broccoli, purple cabbage, onions, garlic, kohlrabi etc. I also planted about 30 strawberry plants which I had propagated from the three original plants I had in summer.

This spring we are already preparing salads using lettuce, cucumber and cherry tomatoes. In a few weeks time I should be harvesting more vegetables every day and I am already thinking about what I will be planting next autumn.
