Hi folks,
I have a weird gardening space at my new place (where I moved in on May 25).
Due to neighborhood rules that I don't really have the energy to challenge, I'm only allowed to plant trees and shrubs and flowers in my lawn (and I've put in 3 fruit trees and 4 raspberry plants disguised as ornamental shrubs, ha!).
Veggie gardens in the lawn are a no-no; so therefore, to get around the rules, I will have to plant my veggies in containers (I did plant some pole beans on the south side of the house where I think I can disguise them as some sort of vine, hee hee, and also managed to sneak some basil in with the flowers that were already growing next to the house, but I don't want to push my luck by being too obvious about growing veggies where I'm not supposed to).
The place I have for containers is the front porch/deck. It is on the east side of the house, and has a pine tree just to the north of it, so there isn't a heck of a lot of sun there. So far, I have some tomatoes in large pots (I've used the pots that the trees came in).
It's July 17 now, so pretty much too late to plant anything, I think, unless someone can give me some good ideas.
What do you suggest I grow there now?
And what do you suggest I grow there next spring?
Thank you in advance,
Andrea Baker
