PATIO GARDENING NORTHERN CALIFORNIA
Posted on Tuesday, July 8th, 2008 at 5:06 am
Any ideas for my apartment garden?
I live in Northern California, and in August, I plan on turning my dusty 5×5 apartment patio into a garden. I already have two rows for plants hanging on the barrier that separates my apartment to the one next door, and I’ll have plenty of room for a pole and a trellis. Since I’m on the first floor, might even ask the landlord to let me plant near the bushes out there.
One problem, however–I get no direct sunlight. Would really appreciate any suggestions for vegetables and herbs that can be grown in small spaces without much sunlight.
Thanks!
my mom always told me that if i wanted to grow the herb for the root or the fruit then the sun is best. if you want them for their leafy greens the shade is just fine. some of the leafy green herbs that have done well for me are: basil, parsley, cilantro, sage, chives, mints, and tarragon. my friend tried other leafy greens and they also did well. good luck!
