You can also self-pollinate many plants if you're not getting the bees. For example for peppers it is enough to shake them a bit and you should be fine. We also only had a balcony, and last year we got lucky with the allotment garden. It's a lot of work, but we are really happy with it 😊
Thank you for your support and I wish you a lot of luck with your plants this year 😊
Yes I selfpollinated my chillis with a paintbrush „flying“ from one flower to the other. How does one get an allotment garden?
There is an allotment garden space (community garden) in our city with 100 gardens (anywhere between 150 and 300 sqm each). Everyone who lives in the city can become part of it. However, the waiting lists are long as people who get the garden can have it for as long as they pay a small amount each and follow to rules. When you move out of the city you need to return the garden. This is how we got it last year (somebody moved out). You can check if something like that exists where you live and see if they have a free spot for you 😊 I think you can find this kind of information on your city website..
