We live in a condo where no gardening space is available. We have a patio that faces NNW, where the sun shines directly for a few hours from 2:30 to sundown and indirectly inbetween (there is a split-fence divide on the W side of the patio and a split-fence railing that impeded direct sunlight) which has done well for herbs and our hibiscus. What other options are available for this type of environment? Anything besides lettuce? Still waiting on the "Bountiful Container" book to show, so am limited to what I can find here. [Wink] Thanks!
