I’m hoping next year to try to grow a few plants on my apartment’s deck. It’s half sun and I live in a temperate area where I’ve had family grow tomatoes, potatos, peas, beans, etc.
I feel like any fruit or veg that can grow on a trellis should, in theory, work. Anyone have any lived experience to share? I’m not terribly good with plants, so I also ask the question “should a novice tackle this kind of project”?
I’ve noticed snow peas tend to do very well in balcony conditions. If you don’t get much sun, there are a lot of flowers that’d be much happier in mostly shade. Leafy greens are an extremely good option, they’re quick to grow and they don’t need as much light.
I have a black kitty too, your picture made me smile! Thank you so much for sharing! I could use some leafy greens now that you mention it. I love kale, I should check that out.
Good luck! Looking forward to a picture of yours when it takes off :)
