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”?

    Fresh herbs in a small garden I can easily temperature control if the weather changes seems like the best choice! I have a cat too, so a little cat grass might be in the mix. :D

      Oh yeah, definitely. I have a majesty palm. I’ve heard they’re hard to keep alive, I guess I’m lucky. I bring it inside when it hits around 40° F. We have a large, south facing window and it does well enough there in the winter. Also, unlike monstera, it is not toxic to pets! (Well, I guess they could still choke lol.)

      Also, there’s something just so vibey about majesty palms.
