I live in the NE USA. I have an apartment porch with another porch on top of it, so I get sun in the afternoon, into early evening. I have to have a garden on the porch because any indoor plants will get eaten by the cats. I'd like to be able to plant some seeds in planters (either the long ones or in pots) and keep them on the porch to bloom and grow. I'm not sure what kind of plants would grow well in my area and under those conditions. Anything that can be planted, kept outdoors in the winter and grow back in the spring/summer would be awesome as well (perennials).I'm looking for as much help as possible. What kind of plants would work well, when I'd need to plant them, which kind of planter, how often to water and if I can leave them outside in the fall/winter and have them grow back on me.Thank you so much!
If you want to grow veggies and fruits on your porch, tomatoes, peppers, and strawberries all will work in a container. Also, pretty much any herbs should do well.
herbs and green onions would be great...they grow relatively quickly and can be both useful and beautiful...some herbs even flower =) many popular herbs generally crave full sun, but can grow in partial full sun...mine are as far as houseplants...you may want to give your cats a treat...plant catnip! it is pretty, green and cats LOVE it =) as far as flowers, you may want to check your local home and garden store for the most appropriate plants for your area...i'm in louisiana, so i'd probably be wrong on that one
