Hi; I saw the spotlight when I logged in and this could be the resource I've been looking for. I live in Hummelstown PA, which I think is in Zone 4 or 5 and I am currently off work, due to fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome, which makes it difficult for me to maintain a garden, even though I would have the time. I've been thinking I could manage a container garden in the backyard. There is only full sun in a very small section of the yard, so I may want to try vertical containers. Also, I recently purchased 2 tropical hibiscus plants in 10" pots; I was wondering what sort of success anyone has had keeping them alive over the winter north of the Mason-Dixon line. Should I bring them indoors for the winter? How about lighting?
