garden planning

[kettunainen]

I got my Urban Harvest plant and seed catalog yesterday at the market, so the planning begins anew. I had started working last fall on what I wanted to do this spring, but, as it turns out, nearly everything I really wanted to try planting just does not grow well in this particular area, as it's simply too shady. So I'm working for a bit today

I've had no problems with hot peppers and tomatoes on my north-facing balcony, which gets pathetic sunlight. Bell peppers I have issues with, but you can't do bell peppers anyway. :) The hot peppers I was growing were red Portuguese peppers, IIRC. Tomatoes will still produce plenty in partial shade, although it definitely helps if you go for cherry tomatoes rather than full-size tomatoes. Look at the cute!

My beans weren't crazy productive, but I'm pretty sure that was because I put them in an improper container. I'm going to try again this year with a deeper container. As long as you give them a trellis or something to climb, I'd definitely give beans a try.

Best of luck with your garden! I think I'm going to miss this year... I would normally be planning a big one now, but instead I am going to try to plan a house-selling one. I'll have to live vicariously through others.
