  1. Anyone tried out growing container potatoes in places without direct sun access? I live in a place where most people build enclosed houses without any direct sun light at all, it just baffles me how people voluntarily built themselves cages like that, human stupidity never ceases, and I have to pay the price for other people's mistakes 🙁

  2. Great info. I bought some seeds from you for this season, they are all germinating very nicely, thyme and Basil are two herbs among them, now I need to find a new future location for them. Thanks.

  3. Another good thing is Fiddlehead ferns. I've had luck growing them in the heavy shade of a tree with heavy mulch to slow evaporation way down,, because they like wet soil. Plus, you can harvest and eat the young fiddleheads.

  4. I can't grow any dill here in FL. It starts to grow with skinny little sprouts and then dies. Is it the seeds? Or is there a trick to do first Please help, I see your dill is beautiful. I am in central FL in ft myers.

  5. I grow cilantro every year just for the bees. I've never seen so many bees around one plant before. Now I have it growing in the alley its a bee heaven.

  6. Mint should be on the list too. Also this might be just a Texas thing due to the stronger sun, but I’ve done ok with cherry tomatoes and bush beans in containers in a location that only got 4 hours direct sun, 2 hours dappled sun, and the rest of the day in shade. I was in an apartment without access to more direct sun. I’m sure the yields were not as high as if I had had more sun, but I definitely got enough for salads and sides. That same location grew a ton of lettuce in the winter.

  7. I needed to know if sage needed light because
    I’m doing a challenge with my class, whoever
    can last the longest and I need all the help I
    need so tysm for the knowledge ÙwÚ
    Hopefully I can win the challenge O.o
