Summary: This week I take a look at that inbetween space for plants - the balcony. It’s not quite indoors, but not really outdoors either - the spot where houseplants and herbs, bamboo and begonias meet. And who better to talk to than Alice Vincent, who describes herself as ‘gingerly treading the unlikely tightrope between plants and pop culture’ - she writes about urban gardening for the Telegraph and is also the author of book How To Grow Stuff. We discuss the difficulties of heaving compost several floors up, the delights of growing on balconies, and squirm our way through a chat about that most evil of pests, the vine weevil.
